I have 3000 load modules with no source code. I would like to know what shall I do if any of them needs any modification?
Thanks, |

| It's work, but there are free dis-assemblers out there that work fairly well...... |

Hello Vijay and welcome to the forums,
Try here:
www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/hlasm/
Keep in mind that source created from the executable is not very maintainable.
If there are some critical modules that may need modificaton n the near future, it would be a good thing to begin re-coding them. |

Hello again,
Were these originally assembler or some other language? |

Hi Dick,
Most of the load modules are from Cobol.

Are you able to understand "Assembler" code? |

Vijay,
Please share the technique you used to convert from COBOL load modules to Assembler or COBOL source. |

Vijay, Please share your findings with all of us. I got stuck up on this some time back. How do I convert the load module back into cobol source code 
Eagerly awaiting your reply... |

Hello,
If 3000 load modules were involved and the work ws completed that quickly (just over a day), my guess is that a copy of the source was located. . . |
