Abstract :
The paper reports on progress in the construction of an integrated tool environment for the migration of character-based panels of mainframe applications into graphical user interfaces. It presents an approach for static analysis of character-based panels that is based on the identification of dialog entities in panels using generalized descriptions of panel areas and describes a tool supporting the identification process. The goal of the approach is to increase the level of automation in the migration process compared to existing migration tools
