I've done such a by-hand code conversion before, but I cheated using regex scan-replace in a good text editor. So it really was programatic. Try one of the editors in Eclipse(RDP).

Subject: COBOL File Specs to DDS or SQL
Suppose I had some COBOL specifications that defined a file layout.
Could I take those and programatically turn it into either DDS or an SQL statement to create the file? The Specs are available in a file.
Thing is the record is 12,000 bytes wide and the COBOL specs are 4,500 lines long! Many are redefines and sub-fields which are not needed.
Doing this by hand seems daunting and fraught with peril. Incoming file needs to be read, processed and then returned to customer with delimiters between fields.
Help?
