Good morning. This is my next addition to the COBOL world. A few weeks ago I posted about Easy COBOL Migrator, a desktop transpiler that converts COBOL to 6 modern languages. The most common question was: "What about the data layer?" Fair question. That's the part where migration projects actually stall and budgets explode. So I built the companion tool. Easy COBOL DB Migrator analyzes COBOL data definitions and generates modern database schemas, data access layer code, and migration scripts. Desktop app, runs offline, no cloud, no AI. What it parses The tool detects 10 source system types automatically: Flat files (sequential and line-sequential) from FD record layouts. All 5 VSAM types: KSDS (indexed with RECORD KEY), ESDS (entry-sequenced), RRDS (relative with RELATIVE KEY), VRRDS (variable-length relative), LDS (linear). DB2 embedded SQL with EXEC SQL blocks, host variable resolution against WORKING-STORAGE, cursor detection, DECLARE CURSOR parsing. CICS file operations: READ, WRIT
