Since IBM's File Manager supports the use of Assembler DSECTs to map data I
would be surprised if Compuware's File-AID does not. Of course, it might be a
chargeable feature.
Our offering in this space (InSync) also supports mapping data using Assembler
DSECTs but it is a fairly recent

File Aid purports to support PL/I copy books, I tried a quick test:
DCL 1 RECORD,
2 BIT_FIELD1 BIT(8),
2 BIT_FIELD2 BIT(8),
2 BIT_FIELD3 BIT(8),
2 BIT_FIELD4 BIT(8);
File Aid treats each field as PIC X(1). Subsequent to this, a HEX byte is
not formatted bit by

WTF? PL3 is 24 bits; that's 5 digits and a sign. Why would it not be
DEC(5)?

It would be DEC(5) I'm sure he'll work through this without taking

An ISPF edit macro could easily do the job

If you have IBM File Manager you can read the file using FM and give it the
copy book as a template.
Otherwise, you will need to perform an IDCAMS PRINT DUMP command and work
out the contents from the copy book lay out and the dump format content.
//DUMP EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
How popular/common is IBM File Manager? Looks kinda neat, I just never came
across it (but I tend to work at a different layer, so that proves little
except that it likely isn't super-ubiquitous).

We use the IBM Early Development Systems in Dallas, File Manager comes with
the package. We have a customer who uses File Manager and it's also part of

We have fileaid and i belive it only supports cobol and PL/1. Can this copybook
be converted to PL/1 and whether we can edit the bit maps and manupulate the
