Thanks, Frank, Martin; the problem was my cut-and-pasting from PDF. In
fact the standard version of COBDFSYM works well with 410. Apologies for
timewasting.
Good to hear. Thanks for letting us know.

I'm wondering if COBDFSYM shouldn't become open source or similar. Given
the (apparent) loose ownership of the code. But I'm just wondering, not
proposing.
The advantage would be that interested parties could work on it.

We are trying to use COBDFSYM to convert COBOL copybooks to SYMPARMS input

COBDFSYM is in the dfsort tricks pdf at

The copybook is compiled and the output analysed by COBDFSYM to create
SYMPARMS input
With COBOL 410 input
Andy,
We have COBOL 4.1 here and have used the same COBDFSYM REXX since
December 2005,
and it works for us.
There is a restriction that the copybook member must have an 01 level to
work
properly, but I don't recall what error that causes.

An interesting discussion about COBDFSYM, particularly as I plug it in the
Batch Modernization Redbook that's currently in review.

USER BEWARE
I have NOT tried it, but the thing that I expect WILL impact COBDFSYM is the
fact that Enterprise COBOL V4R2 (not V4R1) *DOES* allow for underscores in
user-defined words - even as the last character of the user-defined word.
Consider (in particular) a (valid in Enterprise COBOL

Could you maybe send me a copy offlist (as a .txt file will do?)
I suspect I've copied the exec from the pdf wrong somehow . . . though I
can
not see how.
