Application No. 09/133,878
alternate way of doing the same thing. Further, Roth
specifically states (column 5, line 64-column 6, line 2) that the
programs have been converted already, and that the format of the
data is being changed for use in the converted program. In
column 8, lines 15-17, Roth states that the data is virtualized
and the application program is unaware that the data originally
had the old formatting. Thus, only the format of the data is
being changed or remediated, not the instructions. Furthermore,
we find no disclosure of storing the instructions with
remediation parameters. The programs that have been converted
are stored such that data adapter intercepts the I/O calls from
those programs and performs a virtual change of data format. It
is unclear to us what the examiner believes to be the table of
stored instructions to be remediated with corresponding
remediation parameters. Accordingly, we cannot sustain the
rejection of claims 1 through 29 over Roth.
