Re: Program to Convert copybook to C structure

I've never seen one.

Then again, you can probably convert a 100-member COBOL record to C format
in about 30 minutes and it's 'by definition' a one-time job, so I'm not
surprised no one has ever tried to create a 'utility' to do it

But if you don't know the COBOL datatypes, it would be pretty hard. So
download this...
http://www.flexus.com/ftp/cobdata.zip
... for a tutorial on COBOL datatypes. (The included software is VERY old and
not much fun to use, but the text is still good)

If you have a COBOL source or copyboook, this might be useful:
http://www.flexus.com/ftp/cobfd.zip
That's some MS-DOS (you heard me, MS-DOS) software which will parse your
file and create a report of offsets and data lengths for every variable in
the copybook.
