AI-driven COBOL documentation, dependency maps, and business-rule extraction for enterprise estates
Automate COBOL documentation and map dependencies across CICS, JCL, DB2, and batch flows with deterministic static analysis and SME validation. Capture COBOL business rules for audits and modernization.
Trusted by leading enterprises
COBOLpro automates COBOL documentation and lineage, ties SME knowledge to code, and produces evidence your teams and auditors can trust—without disrupting batch windows.
COBOLpro doesn't just "read" code—it parses it. Our engine uses formal ANTLR lexers and parsers to build a mathematically correct model of your legacy application, ensuring 100% accuracy in data lineage and impact analysis.
Stop guessing what your code does. We extract the actual business logic hidden inside millions of lines of spaghetti code, converting obscure COBOL conditions into clear, actionable business rules ready for modernization.
Critical COBOL systems run the business, yet teams lack deterministic documentation, data lineage, and change impact. Without these artifacts, organizations face slower delivery, audit friction, and higher outage risk.
Critical business logic lives in people and code comments. As SMEs retire, teams lose the context needed to make safe changes.
65% of COBOL experts retire by 2029
Changes are made without understanding full impact, leading to production issues and audit failures.
6-12 months average change cycle
Opaque data flows and missing lineage create audit friction and increase the chance of incidents during peak periods.
Evidence gaps and fragile batch windows
Without proper knowledge retention and documentation, organizations face system failures, compliance risks, and potentially catastrophic business disruption.
Transform your legacy COBOL systems in three simple steps
Get a complete overview of the system, in file, application and program level to fully comprehend the architecture and design of the application.
Autonomously generate explanations, UML diagrams, user diagrams, and flowcharts to provide context and clear explanations of the code. See screen variables, job flows, and understand every single program that is making your company run.
Understand and reverse engineer your business rules to fast-track modernization and give non-technical people results of the current specifications.
Get a complete mapping of your COBOL architecture and business logic with comprehensive documentation and specifications.
A unified flow: Static Analysis produces evidence → CLIP captures SME knowledge → IDE operationalizes fixes. Start simple, reveal more detail as you go.
Comprehensive System Architecture Analysis
Advanced analysis technology that creates complete overviews of your COBOL systems at file, application, and program levels to fully comprehend architecture and design.
Key Capabilities:
Autonomously generates explanations, UML diagrams, user diagrams, and flowcharts to provide context and clear explanations of the code and dependencies throughout your systems.
Understands and reverse engineers business rules to fast-track modernization and provide non-technical stakeholders with clear specifications of current systems and requirements.
Lexers/parsers per dialect, control/data‑flow graphs, copybook resolution, and I/O mapping produce deterministic artifacts.
COBOL idioms, JCL patterns, CICS/DB2 access, and error‑handling conventions are encoded as rules for consistent findings.
Call graphs, I/O maps, field‑level lineage, and JCL schedules are versioned and exportable (PDF/HTML/JSON/Git).
