Configuring COBOL Source Definitions

After you import a COBOL source definition, you may need to configure some of the source properties. The COBOL source definition is similar to a fixed-width flat file definition. However, a COBOL file has some unique properties to consider when you configure the definition:

OCCURS

Field definition

Word or byte storage

Field attributes

Review the following tabs and dialog boxes when you configure a COBOL source definition:

Table tab.
Review storage.

Advanced properties.
Review properties for fixed-width data files.

Columns tab.
Review OCCURS, FD section, and field attributes.
