Our robust DCD III package minimizes the number of ancillary staff necessary for maintenance of your COBOL system and solving time intensive problems, such as field-expansion or error resolution which saves you valuable time and money for data correlation, data documentation and data warehousing.

Cobol Field expansion can be as easy as 1-2-3 and provide an audit trace on every action accomplished.

Cobol Narrative

 

Our Proprietary Narrative

When a programmer does his 20 page scans, this is what he is trying to develop. We've already developed both the format for the narrative, as well as the narrative itself.
