We now have a situation where we want to send copy members over data
queues from Cobol to Java and back again. Previously in similar
situation where we need to share a data structure, I have recreated the
Cobol data structure by hand in Java, which is a bit tedious and error
prone.
The beginning looks like:
01 PARAM-FIELDS PIC X(1024).
01 FILLER REDEFINES PARAM-FIELDS.
03 STATUS-CODE PIC X(02).
03 KEYS.
05 DGMID PIC X(05).
03 DATA-FIELDS.
05 ADR-FIELDS.
07 UNNUMBER PIC X(10).
07 CLASS PIC X(10).
07 SUBRISK PIC X(10).
07 PSN PIC X(85).
07 PACKINGGROUP PIC X(10).
etc. etc. etc.
I was wondering if any of the Cobol compilers on the i could be asked
nicely to generate a dump of the resulting datastructure, so you could
look up "PACKINGGROUP" and be told "ah, that is a character array 10
long placed in index 142 (or so) of PARAM-FIELDS". We use OPM Cobol
but ILE would be fine too.
Suggestions?
