Thanks for passing this along. What fun. I have some greenbar downstairs with Primos COBOL using MIDAS files, but I don't think I'll give it a spin. It is 30 year-old code and I had not even heard of structured programming back then. Maybe the thing I was missing regarding threads on this list

DataStage would be an option. I am not using it, but it would be the cadillac solution. At the low, but excellent, end of the spectrum, I would put Cedarville DOWNLOAD, which can also extact to xml, for example IIRC. Depending on your goal, something like Informer or MITS might fit the bill too.
