I think Lansa was offering an option like that a few years ago.  They have a
page of testimonials of people that did the switch but I don't know how
automated they've made the process.

what's the case against CA other than lack of any real change to the base
RPG4 generator?

Anyone got any experience of transitioning away from Synon? 

I have a customer who is "uncomfortable" with CA's ownership of the product 
and would like to explore options to move off. 

The generated code is just too darn ugly to consider maintaining at that 
level, so what are the options? 

Some years ago I thought there was a product that could import the Synon 
model, but I can't see any trace of it now. 

Any thoughts anyone?
