Hi Rajesh,

I wouldn't try and parse all the possible Cobol permutations.  Can you not compile the copybook and process the Data Division map the compiler produces - that way you have a fixed format input which you should be able to reformat for any language (Redefines might need some special handling but everything else ought to be starightforward).

Enjoy,
Tony
