Cobol convert program Job Request



Hi everyone.

I have a cobol file (from microfocus) (.mst and .idx about 6 meg
uncompressed). and the header:

$SET REMOVE(LENGTH) NOTRUNC
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.

SELECT NOT OPTIONAL IL-BLDG-SKETCH
ASSIGN "B-SKETCH.MST"
ORGANIZATION INDEXED
ACCESS MODE DYNAMIC
LOCK MODE MANUAL
RECORD KEY TABLE-NAME OF SKETCH-RECORD
FILE STATUS SKETCH-STATUS.

FILE SECTION.

FD IL-BLDG-SKETCH.
01 PT-REC.
03 PT-KEY.
05 PT-PROP-NO PIC X(20).
05 PT-SEQ PIC X.
03 PT-GRAPHICS.
05 PT-TABLE OCCURS 200 TIMES.
07 PT-X PIC S9(4) COMP.
07 PT-Y PIC S9(4) COMP.
03 PT-END PIC S9(4) COMP.
03 PT-SCALE PIC 9V9(4) COMP.


I am not a cobol programmer, so I'd like to hire someone to convert
this file to CSV for me. I'd like the source and be able to run it
myself, if possible. I do not own microfocus cobol, so I am wondering
if there is a free alternative (I have both windows and linux boxes
available). I'm hoping tiny/open/free/gnu Cobol will be able to read
microfocus files.

This is a one time data conversion, but we might get a "newer" file
right before the official convert, so I might have to run this more
than once.

Please email me directly at andy at camavision.com (or this newgroup,
I'll try to watch it for a while), if you are interested.

Please include a price quote (I'm thinking in the $100 range).

Thanks,

-Andy
