Is SAS, EZETREIVE supported for rehosting

Hi Ekam

As this question is in the Enterprise Developer forum I should first say the you cannot maintain SAS or Easytrieve source code within this product.

However if you are referring to migrating a predominantly COBOL or PL/I application from the mainframe to execute on Enterprise Server in Windows Unix or Linux then most of our customers do the following. To start for both SAS and Easytrieve, they are mostly used for report generation. So before considering any conversion, firstly determine  are these reports still required by the business and secondly whether a more modern data access and reporting tool may be able to provide the necessary functionality.

If Easytrieve programs must be migrated - and if there is a significant number then Micro Focus could recommend a partner who can automatically convert them to COBOL.

If SAS reporting must be migrated, then you should look at the equivalent products that SAS provides off the mainframe.

If you are considering a migration from the mainframe, would recommend you take advantage of Micro Focus' expertise in this area to help you evaluate how to achieve it.
