About
Modernizing legacy mainframe systems requires more than simple logic translation; it demands rigorous attention to fixed-width record structures, byte-level data alignment, and precise behavioral equivalence. This skill provides a systematic framework for migrating COBOL applications to modern environments, guiding users through comprehensive code analysis, the creation of automated testing harnesses, and the implementation of exact data-formatting rules. By emphasizing byte-for-byte comparison and exhaustive edge-case validation, it ensures that modernized applications remain fully compatible with existing legacy data pipelines and business requirements.
