Converting SCREEN COBOL Programs to Web
Clients
Converting SCREEN COBOL Programs to Web
Clients
SCUP lets you convert a SCREEN COBOL application (a group of related program
units within an object library) to a web client without making any changes to the
SCREEN COBOL source code. Requester-based business logic is converted to Java
classes; screen components are converted to HTML pages with embedded JavaScript
code. The converter also generates command files to help you build and deploy the
converted web client. The compiled Java objects and HTML pages can be deployed
on any web server hosted on the HP NonStop operating system.
Any valid block-mode requester programs for supported terminal types (6520, 6530,
6540, and IBM 3270) can be converted. (Intelligent device support (IDS) requesters
and requesters with message sections cannot be converted.) The specified program
units are converted in such a way that most of the functionality of the original SCREEN
COBOL program remains unchanged.
This manual describes the syntax and semantics of the CONVERT command that
performs the conversion and the error messages that can be issued by the converter.
Further information about the resulting web clients and how to deploy them is given in
the Pathway/iTS Web Client Programming Manual.
You can configure and manage Pathway applications containing converted web clients
by using either HP NonStop™ Pathway/XM or PATHCOM, but it is easier to do so with
Pathway/XM. Configuration and management information needed for Pathway/iTS
web clients is provided in the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual and the
Pathway/XM System Management Manual.
Displaying Information
SCUP operations display information about the object files themselves and about the
program units.
The information displayed about the object files is:
•
Library access setting (ON or OFF) that applies to programs added to the object
files
•
Extents for the object files in the following form:
file(primary-extent,secondary-extent)
File is DIR, COD or SYM. Extents are in 2048-byte pages.
The information displayed about program units includes:
