Does anyone know of tools which will convert the horrible JCL construct
COND= to IF ... THEN ... ELSE ... ENDIF?

We can't forbid the use of COND= in our JCL Standards Checker (which is
written in COBOL, so that I'm not 100% off topic), because there is so
much use of COND= in existing jobs.

If I could get all existing uses converted, then we could prohibit the
keyword entirely.
Thanks,
Colin
