10. A method comprising: performing by executing code stored in a memory with a processor of a computer system to transform the computer system into a machine to integrate legacy COBOL data structures to object instances for object-oriented computer systems: receiving a copybook selection and dynamic COBOL construct criteria; importing a copybook from a database, the copybook corresponding with a set of common business oriented language (COBOL) data stored in the database that includes a REDEFINE clause; creating an object model for the copybook; storing the object model in a model library; receiving the set of COBOL data; retrieve the object model; forming, based at least in part on the set of COBOL data, an object instance that is equivalent to the set of COBOL data, the object instance including one or more representations for a complete set of one or more properties included in the REDEFINE clause without requiring custom coding for the forming of the object instance; identifying an instance of the REDEFINE clause; and automatically forming the REDEFINE clause as an object instance.

The method of claim 10 , wherein the set of COBOL data is a COBOL byte stream.
