VMS Migration Services

Sector 7 is a full service software house. We can supply tools or tools and services. We can take your application in-house port it and deliver a working system back to you.

We can supply experienced people who know how to plan and execute a migration or we can just be there when you need us. Just 1-800-VMS-UNIX-NT for the first step in rightsizing YOUR application.

VMS Migration Products

Since 1985 Sector 7 has written hundreds of API's and conversion tools targeted at significantly reducing the time it takes to port an application from OpenVMS to UNIX and NT. By using our tools, the time, cost and risk associated with a migration or port can be reduced by 90%. Our tools fall into 3 groups:

1) Automatically converting the extended VMS source language to the ANSI equivalents (COBOL, BASIC, C, PASCAL, DIBOL) and

2) providing the VMS API (Application program interface) to the most commonly used VMS libraries (FMS, SMG, SYS$, LIB$, MTH$ etc) and

3) providing applications that directly reproduce VMS behavior on UNIX and NT (DCL, BATCH and PRINT spooling, RTR V2 etc)

 

VMS API's

VX/RT is our collection of the commonly used VMS system services. Each system service takes the same arguments and argument types as the VMS original. Appropriate data types are returned from all our libraries in the same format as the VMS originals. We have available support for timers, mailboxes, sort, QIO, process control, exit handlers, and memory management. VMS libraries supported with VX/RT include BAS$, CLI$, CONV$, EDT$, FDL$, FDV$, FOR$, LBR$, LIB$, MTH$, OTS$, SOR$, SMG$, STR$, AND SYS$.

VX/RMS allows VMS program which access RMS directly to function without change. All VMS file types and access modes are supported. Our support for Keyed files is based on the industry standard C-ISAM V3/4 file format. Your previously proprietary data files can now be accessed from many different Unix 4GLs and report writers. VX/RMS supports locking modes, RFA accessed, segmented, ascending and descending keys.

VX/SMG provides the full functionality of the SMG API for Open Systems. VX/SMG supports it all! Including pasteboards, virtual displays, virtual keyboards, view ports and menus.

VX/WINSMG provides the full functionality of the SMG API for Open Systems, VX/WINSMG has been extended to make SMG available in a Windows client server mode. All pasteboards are handled by the Windows client. VX/WINSMG has been extended for COMBO BOXES, LIST BOXES.

VX/FMS is a fully functional implementation providing the support you need for all your FMS based applications. The VX/FMS compiler translates your existing forms descriptions (FLG files) into a binary file used by the VX/FMS runtime environment. Test form descriptions can be created by the FMS/Forms editor (available for VMS from Digital) or by any standard ASCII editor. VX/FMS supports both VT terminals and emulators. Like all our tools it can be used independently or integrated with other VX tools.

VX/DCL provides a full interactive command live interface that appears and behaves just like VMS DCL. Users are provided with identical command procedure capabilities and programming features. VX/DCL supports the commands and options VMS users are used to.

VX/JSP provides the full capability of the VMS batch and print queue facilities for Unix. VX/JSP is used independently of fully integrated with our VX/DCL and VX/RT tools.

RTR RTR V2 & V3 for IBM,SUN,HP,DEC,NT. Sector 7 has created a full asynchronous V2 API set for Open Systems.

Languages

VX/BASIC VAX BASIC compiler for UNIX and NT.

VX/FPT Converts VAX FORTRAN to ANSI FORTRAN.

XTRAN for VAX MACRO to C Converts VAX Macro To C.

VX/CPP Converts VAX C To ANSI C, includes many of the VMS extended file functions (fgetnam() etc).

Convert RDB RDO to SQL Converts VAX RDO to SQL.
