COBOL-to-Ada Translator WARNING: A data base file is missing from the current distribution, so execution of this tool is not possible at this time. The tool has been examined, and it and its run-time system successfully compile under VAX/VMS with DEC Ada. =============================================================================== The files associated with the COBOL-to-Ada Translator are: Directory PD2: File Name Bytes Lines --------------- -------- ------ ATTS.DOC 573175 17777 General Documentation ATTS.INC 125 6 Names of Files Making Up ATTS.DOC ATTSREQ.DOC 24172 375 Requirements Information ATTSREQ.INC 283 9 Names of Files Making Up ATTSREQ.DOC =============== ======== ====== 4 Files 597755 18167 and Directory PD2: File Name Bytes Lines --------------- -------- ------ C2ADA.COM 1233 48 COM File for Running Under VAX/VMS C2ADA.PRO 2544 55 PROLOGUE File for ASR C2ADA.VM 143220 473 PCDB.VM Data File C2ADA1.INC 378 20 Names of Files Making Up C2ADA1.SRC C2ADA1.SRC 176651 4581 Source of Program (1 of 5) C2ADA2.INC 344 20 Names of Files Making Up C2ADA2.SRC C2ADA2.SRC 305525 9240 Source of Program (2 of 5) C2ADA3.INC 309 20 Names of Files Making Up C2ADA3.SRC C2ADA3.SRC 1179914 29046 Source of Program (3 of 5) C2ADA4.INC 344 20 Names of Files Making Up C2ADA4.SRC C2ADA4.SRC 550160 15213 Source of Program (4 of 5) C2ADA5.INC 467 26 Names of Files Making Up C2ADA5.SRC C2ADA5.SRC 995067 24738 Source of Program (5 of 5) C2ADAVM.DOC 576 13 Document Showing Desired Structure of PCDB.VM File C2ART1.INC 406 20 Names of Files Making Up C2ART1.SRC C2ART1.SRC 394393 11363 Source of Run-Time System (1 of 2) C2ART2.INC 263 14 Names of Files Making Up C2ART2.SRC C2ART2.SRC 159583 4863 Source of Run-Time System (2 of 2) C2ATEST.INC 483 24 Names of Files Making Up C2ATEST.SRC C2ATEST.SRC 67232 2100 Test Files to Convert (COBOL Source) =============== ======== ====== 20 Files 3979092 101897 I. HOW TO COMPILE AND LINK Each C2ADAn.SRC file contains a number of program units in compilation order, and the C2ADAn.SRC files themselves make up the entire translator (in compilation order). Each component of C2ADAn.SRC is prefixed by a PAGER comment block, so the entire SRC file can be compiled as one large file. Compile the following files in the order indicated: C2ADA1.SRC C2ADA2.SRC C2ADA3.SRC C2ADA4.SRC C2ADA5.SRC The main procedure is named COBOL_ADA, so link the following procedure as the main procedure to generate an executable: COBOL_ADA II. HOW TO EXECUTE The Run-Time System must be compiled into the current Ada library before programs translated by the COBOL-to-Ada translator can be compiled. The file C2ADA.COM contains the steps necessary to run the translator under VAX/VMS. The general procedure to execute is: @C2ADA PROGRAM.DAT -- COBOL Source Code is named PROGRAM.DAT -- Result is PROGRAM.ADA -- Listing with comments/diagnostics in PROGRAM.LIS The COBOL-to-Ada translator requires the following data files in order to run: PCDB.VM DB_SYM_TAB.VM The C2ADA.COM file copies these into the current directory and must be customized. The file C2ADA.VM is the same as the required PCDB.VM file. In importing this file, review the file C2ADAVM.DOC and perform any necessary conversion to see that the resulting data file is composed of fixed-length lines of the indicated length. The file DB_SYM_TAB.VM is not available at this time. To compile the resulting Ada program (PROGRAM.ADA), first compile the two Run-Time System files into the current Ada library in compilation order: C2ART1.SRC C2ART2.SRC Then compile the program: PROGRAM.ADA The test programs in C2ATEST.SRC should be extracted as separate files using the PAGER tool of the Ada Software Repository and translated on a one-for-one basis.
