We feel the telon conversion services is costly.is there any other method available where we can convert all telon batch and online programs into cobol programs.

As far as I know there is only one real alternative, and that is to collect all the telon-generated COBOL code - this should be easily extracted from an intermediate step (the step before the compiler/pre-compiler step) in the normal TELON generation process.
Then analyse all this code to see what CALLs it contains to TELON supplied routines (date related, validation etc.). Then write 'black box' equivalent routines for these in the language of your choice - and you've now got a COBOL application. If I remember correctly, the called routines are for fairly simple functions so this shouldn't be too difficult. Our application programmers managed it when we got out of TELON.
If you're not willing to pay anything, I'm sure this is the only way to do it.

Any Manual Conversion Tool available for converting all Telon Online and Batch Programs into Equivalent Cobol Programs

Venkat,

As far as I know there are no free utilities which will do the conversion. so you better code it for yourself or pay for the conversion.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Any JCLS available that will do the manual conversion from Telon to Cobol.Any conversion tool available at a nominal price compared to telon conversion services.

Venkat,

You amaze me pal! First you ask for programs , and when the answer is no , you ask for JCl for conversion. As of date JCL can do nothing by itself. It is the pgm's or utilities that perform the tasks for you. JCL's are Used to run the pgms.Did you contact the telon conversion services for price quote for the conversion?

Also seems to have completely ignored my post which effectively says You already have the JCL you need! (the TELON generation JCL). Oh well... Sad
