Das unterstützte COBOL basiert auf IBM für Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.4 ohne objektorientierte Erweiterungen, kann jedoch an einigen Stellen um herstellerspezifische Erweiterungen von Microfus, NetExpress oder Cobol-IT angereichert sein. Das Coding wird nicht auf Gültigkeit geprüft. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass das vorliegende COBOL Coding vor der Migration erfolgreich kompiliert werden konnte. Syntaxfehler im COBOL Code können zu unvorhergesehenen Problemen bei den diversen Hilfsmittel zur Migrationsunterstützung führen.
