Hi,

I've got a cobol copybook that I want to use in my new easytrieve program.

Somewhere I read that the program called CBLCNVRT that can convert a cobol copybook to an easytrieve file definitions. However, I can't locate CBLCNVRT in my shop, and no one at work knows anything about it. I've even downloaded the source code, and tried to run it to no avail.

I vaguely remembering reading another post about easytrieve being able to read cobol copybooks. Anyone know how to do that?

Cheers

blob.

Anui, thx for your reply. However, as per my post above, I tried running CBLCNVRT but couldn't find the library at work. Ah well, i'll keep on searching, and if I find an alternative solution will post it up for others.

I'm not a frequent user of easytrieve and have changed my shop recently so can't experimant much here in this new environment yet. Though, you may search member "CBLCNVRT" under ISRDDN and may be just may be you get lucky with the library name.

Good Luck... Smile

or (god forbid), ask your ezytrieve support group.

CBLCNVRT may NOT have been installed.

CBLCNVRT is probably not going to be found using ISRDDN.

CBLCNVRT is not "run" - it is a set of Easytrieve macros and is not invoked with an EXEC PGM=. This (inside an Easytrieve step)
