Importing COBOL Sources

Importing COBOL Sources

The Designer uses the data structures stored in the Data Division of a COBOL program to create a source definition. When you import a COBOL file, the Designer looks for a specific COBOL file format, which is different than the standard ANSI format.
The Designer looks for a COBOL file format similar to the following example:
       identification division.        program-id. mead.        environment division.            select file-one assign to "fname".        data division.        file section.        fd  FILE-ONE.         01  SCHOOL-REC.            02  SCHOOL-ID                PIC 9(15).            02  SCHOOL-NM                PIC X(25).            02  CLASS-REC                OCCURS 2 TIMES.                03  CLASS-ID             PIC 9(5).                03  CLASS-NM             PIC X(25).                03  STUDENT-REC       OCCURS 5 TIMES.                    04  STUDENT-ID       PIC 9(15).                    04  STUDENT-NM       PIC X(25).                    04  PARENT-REC    OCCURS 2 TIMES.                        05 PARENT-ID     PIC 9(15).                        05 PARENT-NM     PIC X(25).                 03  TEACHER-REC       OCCURS 3 TIMES.                    04  TEACHER-ID       PIC 9(15).                    04  TEACHER-NM       PIC X(25).              02  SPORT-REC             OCCURS 2 TIMES.                 03  SPORT-TEAM          PIC X(30).        working-storage section.        procedure division.            stop run.
