CICS COBOL / BMS migration

Convert CICS COBOL screen programs with BMS maps into runnable legacy code on the JVM you can play in OL Next—map player, not 3270.

OL Next converts CICS COBOL programs that use BMS maps into runnable legacy code on the JVM through the cobol-cics kit. Teams import .cbl source, .bms maps, and copybooks, then generate and validate behavior in the browser player—without a mainframe. Legacy teams keep editing the COBOL in OL Next; the program runs off the host. Play converted maps in a map-layout grid (not a 3270 terminal). For data, use an H2 sandbox (schema.sql / seed.sql), the live host store (DB2, VSAM, or IMS-DB via JDBC or OL CoreIQ APIs), or a modern DB after data migration—see DB access management.
