Micro Focus Acu4GL provides a patented binding between standard
COBOL VSAM type syntax (OPEN, CLOSE, READ, WRITE) and
relational database management systems (RDBMS) without having
to change the COBOL applications. By moving the COBOL data
into a RDBMS, the IT organization can use existing skills to manage
the data and exploit the database providers tools for management
functions such as backup or scaling.
