This contribution to the subject of Software Reengineering is focused on the reengineering of legacy system reports. The object is to extract the contents of existing print files for the purpose of creating new system interface files in XML. These new XML files can then be used both for system testing and system integration. The XML Schema Language XSD and a subset of the XML Transformation Language XSLT are used as a basis for describing and processing the existing reports. The conversion tool Repo2XML was developed within the context of an IBM mainframe to MS-DotNet migration project at the Austrian Chamber of Commerce in Vienna. There, the main use of the converted XML files was to act as a test baseline for the XML reports produced by the new system.
