Latest isCOBOL Release Enables Cost-Effective Application ModernizationPHOENIX–(Business Wire)–Veryant, the COBOL and Java technology innovator, today announced a new softwarerelease to help organizations lower operational costs by modernizing COBOLassets. This latest version of Veryant`s isCOBOL Application Platform Suite(APS) simplifies COBOL and Java integration, enhances the Eclipse-baseddevelopment environment, and includes several improvements to make moving toisCOBOL from alternative platforms even easier. “Many businesses rely on a combination of language environments and want greatervalue from their existing COBOL investments,” said Alfredo Iglesias, vicepresident of Veryant. “Our newest release makes it easy to expose coreapplications and data to SOA, Web Services, and other initiatives withoutsacrificing functionality, retraining staff, or adding complexity.” Organizations have reduced licensing costs by as much as 80 percent and gainedimportant business benefits by moving to Veryant.

Ron Turley Associates (RTA), apacesetter in fleet management solutions, chose Veryant`s technology to protectits COBOL application investments, enhance graphical user interfaces, and expandinto new markets. “Veryant`s isCOBOL technology opens new markets for us because of its pure Javadeployment model and the foreign language localization capabilities,” said LarryTurley, president of RTA. “It makes us more competitive and will help expand ourbusiness.” isCOBOL APS blends the optimized, business-oriented nature of COBOL with theopenness, portability, and power of the Java platform. With isCOBOL 2009, COBOLprogrammers can automatically generate Java classes that enable Java programs todirectly access COBOL data without proprietary middleware or time-consuming,risky reengineering. This feature enhances productivity and eases integrationbetween legacy and new application environments. The isCOBOL Runtime Environment is 100 percent Java, so COBOL applications canbe deployed across multiple platforms using a single code base. The sameflexibility is delivered with isCOBOL`s Eclipse-based integrated developmentenvironment (IDE).

Users can leverage one development environment acrossmultiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and UNIX and switchbetween development projects when integrating COBOL with programming languagessuch as Java. An import facility has been added to the isCOBOL IDE that allows existingprojects and programs from alternative environments such as AcuBench to beautomatically brought into the flexible Eclipse framework. Other IDEenhancements such as the addition of a GUI screen designer and an integratedevent editor further simplify transitions to Veryant and enhance developerproductivity. The isCOBOL 2009 release offers many other new features and enhancements,including:* The addition of Javadoc style comments in COBOL source code, enabling theautomatic generation of documentation from isCOBOL programs. * Full support for MySQL, DB2, and DB2/400 (the AS/400 version of DB2 from IBM),to include functionality such as record locking, optimization, and otherdatabase-specific features. * Tighter integration between isCOBOL Server and isCOBOL ISAM Server.
