I just found a migration tool that claims to be able to
automatically migrate I4gl code and forms into Java/ODBC code of
equivalent function.

The tool is called Rescue Studio by Artinsoft

http://www.artinsoft.com/rescue/default.htm

In just a few moments of using a beta trial/limited function demo, the
tool showed some promise.

Has anyone evaluated this product? I would be very interested in the
views of others.

BTW, I am not in any way affiliated with Artinsoft. I am just an
informix user with a 4gl code base looking for a "real" migration path.

Regards,
Gerald

Uhmm, you would actually be better off rewriting the app.

You are switching paradigms. This was true from 4GL to New Era, as well as
other linear languages to OO languages. Its not just the syntax, but the
logic has to
switch.
