OpenVMS to HP-UX migration

[gstatton]

Not sure if this is the best place to find any information, but i was told we need to move off of our ALPHA running VMS and move to UNIX. We have a bunch of VMS COM scripts which would need conversions. Instead of rewritting them all, i was told to develop a conversion tool of sorts. Being such a daughting task, i was wondering if anyone out there has delt with a similar issue, and knows of a good aproach to this. I've started to write something in SED/AWK, but i feel like we are going to have to go over them again anyway and fix up EVERYTHING. Does anyone know of a UNIX script (PERL maybe?) which can at least take a chunch of this work? If this is not the place to post this, let me know...

thanks...

The philosophies of OpenVms and Unix are very different.
I think that automated conversion of a DCL (Digital Command Language) script is not possible.

The document OpenVMS and Digital UNIX Interoperability and Migration Guide
can gives you valuable information.
