Full Discussion: Old COBOL app move to new server
Operating Systems SCO Old COBOL app move to new server Post 302972083 by jgt on Friday 29th of April 2016 08:58:36 PM

Unfortunately, the .cob files are compiled files that can be used with a runtime system.
To determine if you have the source code can you select one of the .cob files and, supposing that you have an ARX100.cob, do, signed on as root
Code:
find / -name "ARX100*" -print

If you find any files that match, then presumably these are the source code.
If you do not have the source code, then your options are limited to a VMware install, or a normal install of 506 on suitable hardware.
Suitable hardware being an I3-I7 system with an SSD disk, as long as the motherboard was manufactured in 2012 or earlier.

If you want to use later hardware, then you have to upgrade to Openserver 6.0.0.
If you find that you do have the source code, then you could migrate the application to Linux, my preference is Opensuse, as it seems to have the same look and feel as SCO. Converting to GNUcobol requires about 1 hour of conversion effort per Cobol program.
