COBOL Colleague revolutionizes outdated COBOL systems by employing deterministic AI and knowledge graph technology to decode, document, and clarify vital business logic with an accurate understanding, eliminating any room for hallucinations or uncertainty. It effectively translates legacy code into easily understandable Business Functions, providing teams with a trustworthy framework to comprehend their systems' operations, identify the location of business rules, and assess the impact of potential changes. Rather than dedicating months to the manual documentation of systems, COBOL Colleague automates the preservation of institutional knowledge by dissecting code, thereby unveiling comprehensive business functions that encompass every derivation, condition, and dependency influencing each output field. Its unique analysis unravels intricate COBOL constructs like REDEFINES, CALLS, PERFORMS, and GOTOs, separating data transformation logic and generating natural language documentation that can be easily shared among both technical and business stakeholders. This innovative approach not only enhances understanding but also streamlines communication between teams, ultimately fostering a more efficient development process.

2E streamlines the development of IBM i applications by combining design modeling, native code creation, and deployment tools within a unified environment. This integration enables teams to quickly develop and enhance IBM i business applications while maintaining the integrity of existing systems and simplifying the traditional development process. By using 2E, developers can craft applications at a higher level of abstraction, automatically generating native IBM i code, which ultimately boosts productivity, consistency, and the ease of maintenance throughout the entire application lifecycle. The platform supports model-based development, allowing teams to systematically define business rules, data structures, user interfaces, and application logic prior to generating dependable applications tailored for IBM i environments. Additionally, it facilitates organizations in speeding up delivery and elevating application quality, making the development process more user-friendly by significantly lowering the need for manual coding. Furthermore, this innovative approach encourages collaboration among team members, fostering a more efficient workflow and driving overall project success.

SQL-Ease for Db2 for z/OS significantly accelerates the processes of application review, debugging, and SQL performance optimization without requiring a departure from the ISPF edit environment. This tool effectively shortens development timelines by enabling developers to test and refine their SQL queries prior to the compilation of the program. Programmers can seamlessly test, debug, and optimize embedded SQL directly within the ISPF editor, utilizing various functions for generating, standardizing, checking, executing, interpreting, and analyzing SQL commands. SQL-Ease is capable of producing syntactically accurate SQL statements, including SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, MERGE, JOIN, UNION, and subselect queries, for languages such as COBOL, Assembler, SPUFI, PL/I, and C, and integrates the SQL into the designated location within the code. Additionally, it can transform manually written SQL into a uniform, easily comprehensible format, verify the syntax of SQL queries, execute SQL from both application programs and the SQL Editor, while also returning results accompanied by crucial execution metrics that aid in further performance tuning. Ultimately, SQL-Ease serves as an indispensable tool for developers looking to enhance their workflow while ensuring high-quality SQL performance.
