Re: Convert RPG DS to COBOL?

No docs that I know of Brad but I have done it for a few people in the past.

A bigger issue is often that with RPG we can rely on the prototypes to help and also have support for varchar - neither of which exist in COBOL.

If you want to send me a couple of samples (including the protos so I know how the calls should be) I would be more than happy to convert them for you to give you an idea.

This may seem like an odd question, but are there any materials that show
how you can convert a data structure and field definitions from RPG to
COBOL for the IBM i?

I only ask because I have someone who wants to call one of my programs but
the /copy book for the parameters and fields is RPG and they are COBOL only
shop. I would think once that is converted that calling an RPG program
from COBOL (not a subprocedure, just a straight CALL) should be simple.

I haven't touched COBOL since the 90s. :)

Thanks!
