Maybe Fujitsu would consider a .Net version of PowerCobol in the next release. That would be the way to preserve user base since many users are leaving Fujitsu Cobol for other languages (mainly C#) when moving into .Net due the lack of PowerCobol support in this environment. Personally I don't think this would be so hard to implement. Even if you say you would need to adapt Active X support using whatever wrappers, a lot of code could be preserved. A user told me that "what is the point to continue with Cobol if I need to rewrite everything that I have in Power in order to move into .Net?"...good point. http://www.100coolthings.net/Blog/tabid/155/EntryID/11/Default.aspx emersonlopes@gmail.com http://www.100coolthings.net/Blog/tabid/155/EntryID/11/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.100coolthings.net/Default.aspx?tabid=155&EntryID=11 Tue, 04 May 2010 03:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.100coolthings.net/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=11 Cobol JNI classes generated by J/Adapter utility is just the first step, after that you got to do something useful! http://www.100coolthings.net/Blog/tabid/155/EntryID/8/Default.aspx emersonlopes@gmail.com http://www.100coolthings.net/Blog/tabid/155/EntryID/8/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.100coolthings.net/Default.aspx?tabid=155&EntryID=8 Mon, 03 May 2010 07:00:00 GMT 2 http://www.100coolthings.net/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=8 I just stumbled into this while looking for Hitachi OO Cobol info http://www.100coolthings.net/Blog/tabid/155/EntryID/10/Default.aspx emersonlopes@gmail.com http://www.100coolthings.net/Blog/tabid/155/EntryID/10/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.100coolthings.net/Default.aspx?tabid=155&EntryID=10 Mon, 03 May 2010 03:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.100coolthings.net/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=10
