I'm doing something weird. I want to offload some processing from z/OS to Linux. In particular, I need to create an ICETOOL SYMNAME file from a COBOL COPY book. IBM supplies a z/OS REXX program to do this. It processes the COBOL compile listing. I want to offload this process to save MSUs on z/OS. What I've done so far is to ftp all the COPY books into a subdirectory. I have installed OpenCOBOL. I run a script which will create a minimal COBOL program which does a COPY of the copybook. I use the -g switch so that the output executable contains debugging information. I then use objcopy --only-keep-debug to create a .dbg file. But now I'm stumped. Is there a program which interprets such a debug file and produces a human readable report? Once I get that, I can write a PERL script to create the ICETOOL file, which I will send back to z/OS.
