    Hi Tarek,
    If my memory serves me correctly I seem to recall there being some Gen partner related products in the past for reverse engineering COBOL code to Gen but I am not sure what is available today. So it is possible Gen partners may reply to your post.
    I also see you created a support ticket so I will also ask check further internally.

    Regards,

    Lynn

    Broadcom does not currently have a feature enabling reverse engineering of native code into Gen. 

    Sounds like a good candidate for Community Ideas. With enough interest we may be able to look into something like this. I'd certainly like to know which customers need this and what use cases it could satisfy.
