Subject: COBOL to RPG - is this right
So I am doing a project where I am reading a record that has a single
column with a whole bunch of data. The need is to read the record and
then place a data structure over it after I learn what type of record
it is by reading the first character in the column. That's all fine
and dandy but the documentation I received that describes the data is
COBOL data structures. I have found a comparison chart of RPG to
COBOL for data types, but I would like input to see if I actually have
the conversion correct. Are the below corresponding fields right?
And if not could somebody pitty this poor COBOL dimwit and give me the
right definitions? :-)
COBOL
03 FLD1 PIC 9V9(8).
03 FLD2 PIC 9(8)V9(10)
03 FLD3 PIC S9(15)V999
RPG
D FLD1 S 9S 8
D FLD2 S 18S 10
D FLD3 S 18S 3
Thanks,
