Does anyone have a parser for COBOL-85 written in Haskell, or written using some freely available tool that communicates easily with Haskell? I don't need it _yet_, but I'm talking with someone who is trying to get access to a real legacy site with a bunch of, well, basically COBOL 85, but there are extensions... We're not talking about transformation at this stage, just analysis. I could probably hack up the extensions given a place to start. I've found some papers and more dead links than I care for and lots of mention of ASF+SDF which is apparently superseded by Rascal.
Ralf Laemmel would probably be the world's foremost expert in parsing and analysing Cobol using functional languages. Try contacting him directly at uni-koblenz.de Some of his relevant papers: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~ralf/padl03/ http://homepages.cwi.nl/~ralf/ctp/ On 20 Jul 2012, at 10:08, Richard O'Keefe wrote:
