Can I maintain COBOL sources generated by CoolGen (CA GEN)?

[yurad]

My company wants to get rid of CA Gen. We are still running few monthly reports. I am not familiar with this product, but I heard that generated COBOL is hard to read. But, anyway is it possible to take generated COBOL sources and to maintain them directly, without running CA Gen?
Thanks!

why do You want to know?
wouldn' t it be simpler to look at the generated code Yourself
and try to compile it outside of the CoolGen environment ?

You are right. The real stuff would be much better. Unfortunately, I don't have any access to this application before I will commit that it's possible.

Really smart move to ask for feasibility somebody who knows nothing about CoolGen ?
