COBOL Application

[kalyani1202]

We currently have a single mission critical COBOL application that sporadically fails on Windows 2003 Server (it did not fail on Windows 2000). We are using an old version of the MicroFocus NET Express COBOL compiler that does not support Windows 2003. That old product was much cheaper and self contained. MicroFocus has since gone to much more expense and complex server based architecture and licensing. On the one hand, our single finance calculation class (with no database processing) does not require the overhead of the new offerings, but on the other hand it is critical and cannot spontaneously break on the server.
Because the MicroFocus product structure is much more complex and expensive, it is worth a quick survey of alternative solutions.
Can anyone please suggest a better solution for this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Depending on how you are using MF COBOL it may be a easy transition to RM/COBOL instead

As i said, speak with Liant Sales department.

If you dont know anything about COBOL, then it would be advisable for you to get someone from your company that DOES know the application well enough (source code wise) to speak with Liant.
