Re: sequential file formats

Thank you all for the feed back. Yes, my program has problems as I am
not a COBOL expert and I was compiling on a substandard compiler
(open-cobol). I am financially constrained, so I can not afford to buy
a commercial COBOL compiler. My goal in this exercise is to get sample
data to test routines that convert sequential files between the various
formats. I am writing the conversion routines in C (a language in
which I am proficient).

At this time I am not concerned about C-ISAM, VSAM, or LINE SEQUENTIAL
FILES.
