Over the last 2-3 years, we look to several solutions that would allow to REFACTOR Cobol applications to Java, for instance.

Then, we realized that our legacy system (built using Cobol, IMS FastPath Transactions, a bit of Assembler here and there) was quite complex.

Then, we looked at generating Cobol Code (since our challenge was to maintain sufficient number of developers) as it would relief the pressure to find more people.

But the code had to 'fit' in place with a very strict 'framework' we built.   The result wasn't absolutely satisfying.

Our legacy system has around 15 millions lines of code and uses a lot of common modules.
