Subject:Convert Cobol file to XML Author:Nico Heijnen Date:07 Nov 2006 11:32 AM
Hi, I try to convert a Cobol file with 3 different record types to XML. The records are in a sequence like this :
Recordtype A
Recordtype B
Recordtype B
Recordtype C
Recordtype A
Recordtype B
Recordtype C
Recordtype C
Looks like I have to fill in all the Field Element Names and all settings for regions and rows manually. Is there a way to 'copy' the settings for a region and a row to a region/row that in fact defines the same recordtype ?
Thanks, Nico

You don't want regions, you want patterns. Regions are fixed in
size and don't repeat. Patterns vary based on the input document.
And they can be cloned, so you can just change the parts that differ.
If you post a sample of your file, or send a portion to
stylus-field-report@progress.com, we'll be happy to talk
a peek and offer some advice.
