Mvs/esa to z/os conversion with COBOL

hi all,

i'm working on a project which requires mvs/esa --> z/os conversion..

there are lot of GO TO statements in the code.

is it okay that i retain those go to statements or make it more structured using perform statements ...

one more thing clients are okay & open for both these approaches.

Hi,

Usually, in a conversion project, pgm changes are only made where the the existing code will not function properly in the new environment.

Changing the pgm logic s/b avoided if possible. Get the code to work with the new compiler, then negotiate a new contract to straighten out the spaghett1.
