Hi
 
I'm basically doing the same: We're using PL1 programs to do an "unload" of VSAM files by hand. That actually takes care of multiple record structures and the like. It's a poor-man's normalisation of VSAMs ;). Then, just load the data as it is into a staging DB (Oracle), transform it and push it into the production DB (also Oracle).
 
What I don't understand about the original eMail is the COBOL to Oracle part, but relating to the data ?! I guess moving the HOST based data was meant ?
 
And regarding to connecting to VSAM or the like directly from Designer (via reading the copy books for instance), ... it either doesn't exist or we didn't find it ;). I opt for the first.
 
PS: Having to use Oracle Designer is about as cool as crucification.

If you are using SQL*Loader make sure to check the log after load.  For larger loads i would suggest
direct load.

I wonder how a tool will take care of Implicit Redefinition/Multiple Record Structures unless the
Developer/DBA mentions them somewhere.
