Sorting and Data Transformation for ACUCOBOL Shops on Unix
Challenges:
You may want to improve the native sort performance of ACUCOBOL-GT on open systems platforms. Or, you want to exploit a faster, callable sort utility or API routine for embedded data transformation and reporting.
Solutions:
Drop-in Sort Replacement
CoSort provides a library that hooks seamlessly to ACUCOBOL-GT on Unix and improves sort speed up to 6 times with no source code changes.
Callable Acceleration
ACUCOBOL users can also call CoSort utilities or APIs to improve sorting, transformation, and reporting performance directly from applications written in ACUCOBOL-GT. CoSort supports the collation, conversion and creation of ACUCOBOL data types.
Vision File Handling
Through IRI's membership in Acucorp, Inc.'s Complementary Technology Program (CTP), CoSort also supports the collation, conversion and creation of ACUCOBOL-GT 's Vision indexed file format during file format migrations.
