Regards, Mitch McCluhan mitc...@aol.com -----Original Message----- From: Ambros, Thomas <thomas_amb...@keybank.com> To: IBM-MAIN <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Sent: Tue, Jan 12, 2016 10:05 am Subject: Conversion from Unisys Cobol file definitions to zOS My apologies if there is a Cobol listserv that I should have subscribed to and submitted the question there, if someone knows of it please let me know so I can redirect to the correct place. Pardon me, also, if I use terms incorrectly in phrasing my question because I couldn't be weaker in application programming or Cobol idiosyncracies. Our site has occasion to import files from a Unisys site running 'MCP Level 57 Miser level 15.2', and integrate the data with the application datasets on the local system. I do not know the Cobol product the Unisys site is using, I have inquiries out but no answers yet. There are at least a few items causing our application programmers some difficulties. For example, it appears that the COMP fields in the Unisys file do not occupy storage the same as they do on zOS. For example, a COMP field with three digits occupies one and one-half bytes on the Unisys file whereas on zOS it would be a halfword. Given the size and number of the files and descriptions to convert, coding a conversion by hand is not entirely practical. I realize this is a pretty vague request, but does anyone know of a conversion utility or compiler directive to make the translation from the Unisys implementation of Cobol FD's to Enterprise Cobol? I have done some basic Google searching but nothing I find appears to address this sort of thing very closely.
