(OP)
Hi Team,
I am missing the good old COBFD program that worked fine, calculating offsets of record definitions in the past and is still working using DOS BOX. But it would be nice if we would have a program of our own, working in GNU COBOL. Just wondering if we have to start from scratch or that we can re-use something to start with.
Best regards,
Crox

When the program is there, generating XML or JSON or anything else is probably only a matter of time.
But it is very nice when our team here is working together. 😁

The program only recognizes data types that we are using in our programs, i.e. character, zoned, and packed. The program runs on all platforms I'm using: IBM i, Linux, Windows.

It works really nicely - recognizes all data types I can think off: alphanumeric, numeric with or without sign, COMP-3, condition variables, OCCURS tables.

COBFD output:
But who knows, without seeing the source, how much work "to upsize it to 32-bits" can take. In the optimistic case it could only mean the new compilation with the current PowerBasic compiler, but I don't believe in it much, because if it were that easy the author would have done it himself. Much more, I think that it could take a lot of work.
