Our shop has used SQR as an optional language for creating batch jobs for our ERP system. From everything we can determine SQR is being phased out and may not (or is it probably won't) work with Oracle 13. Though it is believed SQR will continue to work with Oracle 12c.
So my question is two fold. First, are my assumptions correct and we need to look at alternatives and begin converting our SQR programs to something else before Oracle 13 comes around? Second, are there any tools out there or in the works that will automatically convert SQR programs to something else (e.g. pl/sql, Perl, C, even COBOL)? We would even be interested in commercial conversion tools or even non-commercial that other institutions wrote for their own use but are willing to share.
Thanks,
Dean
