A while back I wrote (largely for my own amusement) a dialog to take a COBOL copy book, compile it, and generate a Java class that could be used to map and access it.
This took the obvious path of compiling the copybook as part of a stub program and analysing the MAP and SYSADATA output. It was pretty light weight (did not, for example, handle OCCURS), but now I am being asked to extend it and make it part of our standard tool kit. Before I plunge into this can I ask: 1) Is there any freeware or shareware already available to do this??? Or if not precisely this, to produce the sort of map of a COBOL file that can be fed in to such a process??? I don't want to reinvent the wheel. The CBT doesn't seem to have any thing. 2) If not, does any one know any recommended software packages?? This may be a silly question with an obvious answer, but I am afraid I have done nothing more than dabble in Java up to now. TIA to all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
