Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program for translating source code programs from COBOL into an object-oriented language and then utilize an “object” that emulates the COBOL's Working-Storage Section. By emulating the Working-Storage Section in an object-oriented program, the object-oriented program source code can closely resemble the original COBOL source code as well as have a very clean syntax. This allows it to be kept in a highly maintainable and readable form after translation.
