This utility parses the COBOL copybook file and generates the corresponding Oracle Tuxedo VIEW32 definition files.

It supports the following options:

-i

With -i option, cname in VIEW32 definition files is not converted to lowcase; without -i option, cname is converted to lowercase.

-n

Specifies the source copybook is in "normal" format (i.e., copybook contains sequence number area (columns 1 through 6 is the sequence number area, followed by the indicator area)).

-e

Specifies the source copybook is in "exceptional" format (i.e.,copybook does not contain a sequence number area (the first column is the indicator area)).

-o

Specifies the output file name, followed parameter is the output file name. If this parameter is not specified, the output file name changes the suffix of the input file name to .v. For example, abc.cbl is converted to abc.v.

This utility supports the following annotation in the source copybook:

* @binary: by default, copybook data types without the following qualifiers are converted to string: BINARY, COMP, COMP-1, COMP-2, COMP-3, COMP-4, COMP-5, PACKED-DECIMAL. With the * @binary=true annotation, the copybook data types without those qualifiers are converted to CARRAY. * @binary=false changes the conversion rule back to the default. When this annotation is defined on a group, all subordinates in the group are affected.
