Andy, I didn't write the original COBDFSYM tool. I obtained it from somebody else who was no longer maintaining it, and I spruced it up a bit. I don't actually have access to COBOL 410 and I'm not a COBOL programmer. So please do plunge in. If you do create a new version that handles COBOL 410, please send it to me and I'll add it to the tricks with an acknowledgement of your contribution. Thanks.
