I suppose we could write a CoBOL program that read in a copybook
member:
01 BR-BILL-REC-WORK.
05 BR-BILL-SORT-KEY.
10 FILLER PIC X.
10 ZIP PIC X(5).
10 NAME PIC X(16).
10 DORM PIC X(4).
10 ROOM PIC X(6).
10 FLAG PIC X(1).
10 FILLER PIC X(5).
and write out a SYMNAMES:
FILLER,01,01,CH
ZIP,*,05,CH
NAME,*,05,CH
DORM,=,02,CH
ROOM,=,04,CH
SUFFIX,*,01,CH
FLAG,*,01,CH
It doesn't look trivial. (Note the initial Filler)
