Easy.


If this is a once off.
Create a program with RM/COBOL that reads the RMCOBOL file, and saves
the records into a sequential file (line or record).
Bear in mind that you may need to convert some numeric formats like
COMP-6 to valid MF formats. Preferrably convert all numerics to
numeric edited with leading/trailing sign.


If you are keeping the application in RM/COBOL working, then look at
the use of RELATIVITY to access the files. This will enable your MF
programs to access the RM files directly using ODBC.

A program (released under GPL) claims to be able to read these files.
It might (or might not) work for you.

Thank, i'have already tried this utility.

It works good, but it does not convert all data correctly when there
are 3 numbers consecutives that are equal (eg. 111 is converted 11).

If you are trying to read a RM/Cobol index file into a
flat file (without the index keys), you might use the utility
that is provided with the runtime.

command line=

(runtime folder)\RUNCOBOL (runtimefolder)\RECOVER2 A="(indexfile)"

This should create a non-indexed file with only the data.

Good Luck,
Bob.
