An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This redbook describes our experiences with porting from UNIX to
OpenEdition MVS, the runtime libraries and a sample application,
generated from Sysdeco Innovations's SYSTEMATOR 4GL/DATAMODELLER.
Systemator is an advanced 4GL with a powerful data modelling capability,
and a versatile, integrated environment for developing enterprise-wide
client/server applications across a wide spectrum of platforms and
relational databases.

This document was written for UNIX programmers to help guide them
through sizing and managing a port to the OpenEdition MVS platform.
The book describes the methodology used during the porting
exercise. Some general porting hints and tips are included along
with some specific considerations unique to the OpenEdition MVS platform
