From COBOL Data-Types to Java/C# Primitive data-types
Where possible
This is a continuation of my earlier blog - asking what would be the desirable characteristics of a COBOL program - rewritten in OO Java or C#. I followed that post with a description of first steps to go from Structured data definitions into an Object-Oriented design.
In this posting, we'll look at what can happen to all the data-items, COBOL redefinitions, COMP variables and etc.
