Abstract
A tool supported process for extracting objects from existing COBOL programs is described. The process is based on human interaction to select objects coupled with automated slicing techniques to identify all of the elementary operations which change the state of the object selected. The object is redefined within the framework of an object-COBOL class and the elementary operations are attached to it as methods. The result is a set of object-COBOL classes
