FairCom’s FairCom RTG COBOL Edition is a sophisticated file system designed as a replacement for the default file systems available with COBOL.
The basic functionality provided by many of the default COBOL file systems is in some cases unable to satisfy modern application needs. Often developers are forced to migrate to complex and expensive relational systems. These systems may place a heavy impact on the COBOL application both in terms of performance and code modifications.
The FairCom solution maintains the simplicity of the standard COBOL file system interface while offering COBOL developers high-end database technology and additional features such as transaction processing and a client/server model. Existing applications integrate with FairCom RTG COBOL Edition without the need to recompile. In fact, FairCom RTG COBOL Edition has been implemented to fit ACUCOBOL-GT’s and Micro Focus ExtFH architectures, providing an easy replacement to the default file system. Developers have the flexibility to choose which file system to use on a file-by-file basis.
In addition, FairCom RTG COBOL Edition transparently allows access to data from your COBOL application through SQL and other FairCom interfaces such as ODBC, JDBC, and ADO .NET drivers.
FairCom RTG COBOL Edition is sold separately. For more information, visit the COBOL page at www.faircom.com.
