This project will convert Cobol Data Files to/from Xml using a Cobol Copybook.
It uses:
- cb2xml - Cobol Copybook analysis project ~ https://github.com/bmTas/cb2xml
- JRecord - Read Cobol data files from java using a Cobol Copybook ~ https://github.com/bmTas/JRecord
Usage:
In jave you can use a Fluent interface to
// *** Convert Cobol data file to Xml ***
// *-------------------------------------*
JRecordConstantVars constants = Cobol2Xml.JR_CONSTANTS;
Cobol2Xml.newCobol2Xml("G:/Users/Bruce01/RecordEditor_HSQL/CopyBook/Cobol/DTAR020.cbl")
// Cobol Options
.setFileOrganization(constants.IO_FIXED_LENGTH)
.setDialect(constants.FMT_MAINFRAME)
.setSplitCopybook(constants.SPLIT_NONE)
.setFont("cp037")
.cobol2xml("G:/Users/Bruce01/RecordEditor_HSQL/SampleFiles/DTAR020.bin",
"G:/Users/Bruce01/RecordEditor_HSQL/SampleFiles/DTAR020.bin.xml");
// *** Convert Xml to Cobol Data file ***
// *-------------------------------------*
Cobol2Xml.newCobol2Xml("G:/Users/Bruce01/RecordEditor_HSQL/CopyBook/Cobol/DTAR020.cbl")
// Cobol Options
.setFileOrganization(constants.IO_FIXED_LENGTH)
.setDialect(constants.FMT_MAINFRAME)
.setSplitCopybook(constants.SPLIT_NONE)
.setFont("cp037")
.xml2Cobol("G:/Users/Bruce01/RecordEditor_HSQL/SampleFiles/DTAR020.bin.xml",
"G:/Users/Bruce01/RecordEditor_HSQL/SampleFiles/DTAR020byJava.bin");You can also use the older (and more limited) batch interface
