1. Spent four years doing conversions from COBOL.

1998-2003, converting a medical claims system from mainframe/COBOL to Windows/SQL-Server/C++. We normally did not need to read the COBOL, but every now and then we would need to compare the "old requirements" vs what the COBOL was doing vs what the actual business needs were. If the "old requirements" docs still existed....

While five C++ programmers were converting the system, two COBOL programmers maintained the system dealing mostly with Y2K issues. Two VB programmers worked on side projects that sometimes interfaced with the SQL/C++ system we were creating.
