Open Source COBOL Formats and Protocols for BSD

The RecordEditor is a Data File editor for Flat Files (delimited and fixed field position). It supports Unix / PC / Legacy (e.g. Mainframe) file formats, both Text and binary files. The Editor uses a Record-Layout description to format the files. This is ideal for Fixed width (Text or Binary) files, Cobol Data Files, Mainframe files and complicated Csv files. Cobol Copybooks can be used to format Cobol Data files. As well as an editor, The following utilities are supplied * Formatted Compare * File Copy and reformat Utility * FileWizard this is use to work out the format of a File. It can generally find both Text and binary / packed deicimal fields in a file For Simple Csv you should look at its sister project reCsvEditor. Note: The core Editor code is also used in the "Protocol buffers editor" and "Avro Editor"

OpenFileAid is aimed to help people working with COBOL Copybooks and flat files, such as the orginal IBM FileAid. It allows to parse and load CopyBooks, to map the content of flat files to the fields of CopyBooks, to Intitialize CopyBooks...

Parse, analyze and -- most importantly -- use COBOL data definitions. This gives you access to COBOL data from Python programs. Write data analyzers, one-time data conversion utilities and Python programs that are part of COBOL systems. Really.

This program is intended to process an XML formatted file of data in one pass rather than record by record. The program does not handle "Attributes".

Add-on for the WSDL2... utility from the Apache Axis project, this utility will read WSDL files and generate COBOL copybooks and source code appropriate for marshalling and unmarshalling XML messages.
