The bad news is it happens. With millions of lines of code, tens of thousands of programs, and hundreds of libraries to manage, missing source is something that will happen. The programs that are actively maintained day in and day out may not be lost but what about the programs in production that haven't been touched in 5 years or more? They too must be changed in order to complete your Year2000 conversion or any other programming task.

The good news is there is now a way to deal with missing source. The Source Recovery Company can recover missing Cobol or Assembler source from IBM MVS, VM or VSE executable programs.

This solution is faster and less expensive than the alternative of rewriting. Besides, with the mounting pressure of the Year2000 deadline, do you really have the time to rewrite? The Source Recovery Company guarantees the functional equivalency of the original executable program which means no redesigning, no debugging and no lost capability. Simply recompile the recovered source, run a parallel test (to satisfy yourself that we have done what we say we can do), and put it back into production.
