This offer applies to applications written in COBOL, CA-Ideal, CA-Telon, CA-ADS and CSP/ESF (other languages and date field expansion solutions may take slightly longer).

Complete/2000 provides full assessment and renovation capabilities for multiple languages in a wide variety of standards and environments. This industrial strength product facilitates the Migration of application systems into the 21st century at the lowest cost and risk available for client software.

Key advantages of Complete/2000 include its ability to support the following:

  • Mainframe Languages: COBOL (all varieties), CA-ADS, CA-Easytrieve, CA-Ideal, CA-Telon, CSP/ESF, IMSADF II, MetaCOBOL, and PL/I.
  • AS/400: COBOL
  • Client Server: C/C++, PowerBuilder and COBOL (all varieties).

Because Complete/2000 supports a wide variety of platforms and languages, Forecross is able to assist organizations both in the U.S. and internationally, in a variety of industries, in government and in education. Forecross works directly with end-user organizations and with a number of Business Partners who can provide renovation of other languages, testing automation and quality project oversight capabilities.

Complete/2000 Features Your Benefits
  • Complete/2000 is proven, time-tested technology based on years of experience automating the Migration of complex applications, languages, and databases starting prior to the formation of Forecross in 1982.

  • You can enjoy a comfort level that this code has been refined through extensive use — it’s not a product that was invented overnight just to address Y2K problems (and perhaps missing the nuances of a given language or database)

  • Complete/2000 uses a rapid, fully automated analysis and renovation process.
  • This reduces the time your application is out of your shop — increasing the control you have of your project and reducing the time your application is "frozen"
  • Full automation increases accuracy and consistency of the renovated code (manual or partially manual approaches result in inconsistent results)
  • Full automation speeds up testing since your application is delivered in a thoroughly consistent manner
  • Full automation allows for rapid error identification and correction — find it one place, fix it everywhere.
  • Complete/2000 minimizes the need for skilled resources through increased automation
  • You can allocate your skilled resources to the critical jobs of reviewing the results of renovation instead of performing the tedious tasks of finding, fixing and then finally testing.
  • Complete/2000 supports a wide variety of languages and platforms (see previous list)
  • This means you can attack the Y2K problem throughout your company with a consistent process. Most companies have at least three languages in use — why have three different approaches?
  • The Complete/2000 production facility is manned by a staff skilled in the use of our products.
  • You don’t need to spend time and resources learning to use a tool for "one time use." The Complete/2000 Factory quickly gets you to the point where you have your renovated code back — no wasted learning curve.
  • Forecross Rules Engineers develop new rules for unusual coding issues instead of manually modifying your code.
  • 100% automation means your application could be fully re-renovated and you would get the exact same results. If you found a major problem area in your application, a new rule would be added and your total application re-renovated without worry of "did we get those manual changes added back in?"
  • Complete/2000 can combine renovation approaches like data field expansion and windowing (fixed, sliding, date adjustment). See our white paper on Data Expansion.
  • Although the Y2K community now believes that full data expansion is not the best alternative, with Complete/2000 you can select the combination of renovation approaches that best fit your needs — utilizing data expansion when it is absolutely necessary and using the less complex windowing approach for most date fields.
  • Complete/2000 uses a variety of date field identification techniques like "buddy" analysis which identifies fields used in conjunction with other fields known to contain date information.
  • This minimizes the risk of missing one of your critical date fields. It speeds up testing.
