This feature will provide support for generation of SALT configuration artifacts based on COBOL copybook in the inbound direction, and generate configuration artifacts and COBOL copybook in the outbound direction. A new command-line tool (wscobolcvt) is provided to convert COBOL copybook into SALT artifacts. In addition to runtime support, the configuration tool is enhanced as follows:

• Provides the same level of functionality as command-line tools with a graphical users interface.
• Allows you to restrict input/output fields so these are not part of the interface. Defaulting rules apply in this case as you are not permitted to set/retrieve the values.
