Legacymap

Visualize Legacy Code with Our Cross-Language Documentation Tools

Our tooling brings legacy languages into the modern era with automated documentation, database access mapping, and visual callgraphs. Whether it’s COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, Pascal, C/C++  or embedded SQL, we generate developer-friendly insights—without touching your code. With over 40 years of expertise, we help teams make sense of critical legacy systems.
newly launched product

Reveal the structure, logic, and data flows hidden in legacy code.

Our new proprietary tool - LegacyMap - unlocks structured documentation for languages never supported by Doxygen.

Extract procedures, track file and database access, and generate navigable callgraphs for languages like COBOL, FORTRAN, and BASIC. Identify callers and callees, visualize system flows, and accelerate onboarding, audits, and modernization planning—without rewriting a single line.

Why is automated documentation important for legacy COBOL and OpenVMS systems?

Legacy COBOL systems often lack up-to-date documentation, making them difficult to maintain or migrate. LegacyMap solves this by automating the generation of accurate, detailed documentation that reflects the current state of your system. This reduces operational risk, improves code maintainability, and accelerates digital transformation initiatives involving legacy technologies like COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, and embedded SQL.

What types of documentation does LegacyMap generate?

LegacyMap produces cross-referenced technical documentation in HTML, PDF, and LaTeX formats, compatible with Doxygen workflows. Outputs include callgraphs, file access mappings, procedure trees, and SQL access flowcharts. This documentation is fully searchable and ideal for developer onboarding, system audits, and modernization projects.

Does LegacyMap support both OpenVMS and IBM Mainframe COBOL environments?

Absolutely. LegacyMap is designed to work across OpenVMS COBOL (including VAX and Alpha systems) and Mainframe COBOL running on z/OS. The tool accommodates platform-specific dialects and embedded SQL formats, giving IT teams a unified documentation workflow for legacy infrastructure. Whether you’re rehosting to Linux or preparing for cloud modernization, LegacyMap delivers the insights you need.

Can LegacyMap document embedded SQL in COBOL programs?

Yes. LegacyMap extracts and visualizes embedded SQL operations such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE from COBOL and Pro*COBOL code. It maps SQL table access by program and procedure, making it easier to audit data interactions, refactor database logic, or prepare for migrations to PostgreSQL, Oracle, or cloud-native databases.

What is LegacyMap and how does it help with COBOL documentation?

LegacyMap is a software tool that automatically generates structured documentation from legacy COBOL applications, including those running on Mainframe and OpenVMS platforms. It analyzes COBOL source code to produce detailed callgraphs, SQL access diagrams, and procedure maps—without requiring any changes to your original code. LegacyMap is ideal for teams looking to modernize, audit, or maintain legacy COBOL systems while preserving institutional knowledge.
