Thanks Jack. You are the best. I thought SORT should be able to do it but I just could not see how using the manual and several attempts. Thanks again, Alfred

I recently came by the problem of converting a VB file to FB and removing the first 100 bytes and tried to do it with SORT but it did not appear to allow VB to reformat to FB. Batch Fileaid does it. TSO =3.2 does it. Is there an easier way to do it in a job? I tried IEBGENER but it did not...

Who knows of a solid Assembler to COBOL converter? I have some experience converting mainframe assembler to COBOL for business applications. I am in the early stages of writing some conversion utilities to fully automate a large part of most business assembler applications with the rest to be...

I think I have what I need for this project but I might revist this whole issue as I add some more features to the ISPF panels. Thanks Gazolba for the tip. I think I can do this one either way and I was really looking for a quick and dirty but if you have a skeleton example it sounds like you...

With your help and the examples I had started I have sucessfully passed the input back and forth to the COBOL program. I am getting a return code 8 on the VGET although it seems to be returning the values fine. I am going to try to track that down. I will post the test stub I came up with as...

Thanks for the code. I will be checking this out this week. I am sure this will help me get going. Super !!! I will let you know how it goes.

I am interested in anything you have as examples and any pointers. I successfully called a COBOL program from a CLIST that displayed a panel but I did not pass any parms yet. I have created a number of panels and tested them. I am an experienced programmer in COBOL but am a novice at using COBOL...

Slade, I did report it and asked if anyone wanted the source for the final product mailed to them. I am tweaking the smart compare but it is 90% done. I will send you a copy at the end of the week if you like. Thanks for all the help but this is along the same lines. I must say I find your...

Has anyone done a lot of programing using ISPF Dialog manager panels called from COBOL. I am in the process of creating a number of panels for some specific business applications used in our testing group as well as some general technical productivity enhancers. I plan to add to these and keep...

Thanks Kevin. I will give this a try. Yak at me if you think of anything else I should know. Thanks again.

Thanks to everyone. I am breaking open the old assembler books and I will publish the result after it is tested. Maybe it will help someone else. I had thought this was common problem going back to the 70s so someone would a block of MVS assemebler code to do this but by the lack of valuable...

#1 Do not fire people without skills. Actually that is a reason to hire more people without skills. Why not hire your friends even if they do not exactly have the skills. Now with all these people we need to lower salaries. Of course the more poeple under the manager the better the building of...

Does anyone have source to read any file into a general purpose program? I have a COBOL smart compare but want to make it general purpose smart compare program. Does anyone have an Assembler program or another way to do this? I am only talking about simple flat files here.

First 100 programs is a very small legacy system. In many legacy systems this would not even qualify as a small subsystem. Many shops add that many new programs every year. I would use MicroFocus COBOL with the CICS option to get it working as written on the platform of choice. This is a very...
