Migration help wizard

You must indicate the two files that are produced by the migration batch procedure: MIA1 (for Programs), MIA2 (for Screens), MIA3 (for TUI clients), or MIA4 (for Servers). The migration help function compares the two files and shows the differences. It excludes the differences in the comments and the formatting.

COBOL file
Select the .cbl file. This file contains the code that is generated in Pacbase. This file contains both the code that is generated from the design, and the specific code. It is produced by the Pacbase generation procedure.

The migration help function copies this file to the COBOL target that is indicated in the Definition tab, under the COBOL program ID (for Programs) or Program external name (for Screens).

COBOL file without specific code
Select the .cbl control file. This file contains the code that is generated from the design, followed by annotated lines that correspond to the generation of Macro and micropatterns. All the lines are nonspecific. However, this file does not take into account the specific code that is added in Pacbase.
Note: The control file is required, except for the Programs that are defined with a Type of COBOL code set to C, or a Type and structure set to F.
