FairCom RTG ensures COBOL builds your company up, instead of holding your business back. And it’s easier than ever with RTG v5: Data Made Simple.

The latest version of RTG brings considerable improvements to how companies handle legacy COBOL data. FairCom’s file handler lets customers use SQL, JSON, and other modern APIs to query and modify COBOL data.

And—as always—RTG runs without modifying the source application’s COBOL code.

“FairCom RTG has always been the bridge between COBOL data and modern features and capabilities,” said Ray K. Brown, COO at FairCom Corp., “but we truly believe this latest edition empowers anyone to use their legacy data, even with a limited technical background.”

FairCom RTG acts as a drop-in replacement for a COBOL application’s file system. It preserves the app’s source code while bringing modern code, scalability, and replication with the legacy application, allowing companies to confidently build upon the foundational systems that have powered their business for the past 50 years. In addition to COBOL applications, RTG also acts as a replacement for the Btrieve© navigational database, providing users with an active and engaged support team.

Version 5 breathes new life into your legacy applications. Standouts include:

• JSON DB API and SQL APIs to query over the same instance of data
• Change data capture and message queuing*
• Cluster support for high availability
• Multischema records with Hot Alter Table
• Partition support
• Additional features available here

From flexible file formats to multi-API access, FairCom remains committed to empowering customers to do more with their data, here and in the future.
