When I've been faced with this kind of thing in the past (usually from
banks), I've gone old school and used an RPG 2 program with the file
internally defined, and then write it out to an externally defined file.
I know this is drifting, but for the archives, ILE RPG (RPG IV) has I
specifications available. The full suite, right down to field record
relation, level breaks and matching record indicators.
If I were doing this, I'd use I-specifications too, and every input
field would be character so that I could test every one for sanity
before trying to write it to a production table. There's nothing worse
than declaring TELENO 10S 0 and discovering that the other end put
dashes in it. Decimal Data Errors are not my friend.
Such I-specifications might be easy to make with a regexp.
