I have written a C program that I use to read legacy .DAT files populated by ACUCOBOL. One of the files has data compression on character fields and I do not know how to decompress the data to make the result meangful. The legacy system runs on an Compaq/HP Alpha under OpenVMS 7.1-2 using RMS files.
Does anyone know what rules are used by ACUCOBOL to compress the data or if there is a function that I can use in C to decompress the character fields.

Thank you
