Just to close the loop on this, I completed sufficient record conversions to satisfy my requirement using the method described below. I would post a longer example here but I think LISTSERV would make hash out of it. Here is a three-line example of my resulting C header fields. Hopefully

That's silly. Anyone can do that. You don't need a go-between. It's a DIY affair! The "captain's" name is Tom Ross, works for IBM, hangs out on various email lists, comes to our PSI party at every SHARE, and his email address is tmr...@us.ibm.com... On 12/16/2023 10:29 AM, Charles Mills

You know what I am actually looking at doing? You may laugh but it has worked for me in the past. I am thinking of pulling the IBM HTML documentation into MS-Word and massaging it there into C declarations. I did this for a *LOT* of RACF record layouts for the CorreLog product, so I know

Hi Charles, This may not be what you are looking for, but as I recall it's pretty cool: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/record-generator/3.0?topic=what-is-record-generator-java Along with generating Java mapping classes, you can also spit out XML descriptions. I haven't looked at this in a long

I am looking for compiler-readable record layouts for Enterprise COBOL SYSADATA. I see the human-oriented record descriptions in the Programming Guide. I see the sample exit program in IGYxxx.SAMPLIB(ADEXIT), which contains (very) partial record layouts. I have searched SYS1.SIEAHDR.H. I have
