OL Next
Transform COBOL, RPG, CICS/BMS, IMS/MFS, and DSPF applications into runnable modern APIs, services, workflows, and cloud-ready code.
OL Next accelerates large-scale application modernization by converting legacy applications into modern architectures while preserving business behavior.
It supports the transformation of COBOL, RPG, map-based screen applications (CICS/BMS, IMS/MFS, RPG/DSPF), and procedural logic into modern APIs, services, workflows, and cloud-ready solutions, enabling organizations to modernize incrementally with significantly lower risk than traditional rewrite approaches. The in-browser screen player and screen API run maps—not 3270/5250 terminals.
P2 ELEMENT / CAPABILITY_GRID
Key capabilities
-
CICS
CICS COBOL / BMS migrationConvert CICS COBOL screen programs with BMS maps into runnable legacy code on the JVM you can play in OL Next—map player, not a 3270 terminal.
-
API
DB access managementPoint replatformed programs at an H2 sandbox (schema.sql / seed.sql), a live host store (DB2, VSAM, IMS-DB via JDBC or CoreIQ APIs), or a modern DB after data migration—so logic can leave the host before data does.
-
COBOL
IMS COBOL / MFS migrationConvert IMS DC COBOL programs with MFS maps into runnable legacy code on the JVM you can play and validate in OL Next—MFS map conversations, not 3270.
-
AS/400
Interactive program playerRun converted map-based screen programs in the browser—map-layout grid, AID keys, and run log—with no mainframe and no 3270/5250 terminal session.
-
API
Map screen flowsAuthor map ScreenFlows with explicit I/O, expose via OpenAPI, and record/run/debug against converted map programs—not Hub terminal Screens Flows.
-
API
RPC input / outputInvoke converted COBOL and RPGLE RPC procedures with typed commarea input and output forms—edit the schema, call, and inspect results.
