Found out there are 'more files' likely following this one thus making
the program approach even more desirable.
I Personally don't have the specs but they are generic COBOL. And being
COBOL they are not in columns and are indented seemingly randomly. Since
the subfields have 'redefine' those can easily be ignored I think.
Was hoping someone maybe had a program they've done this with.:-)
