RM/COBOL Data Conversion

[pb111]

We have a very old version of RM/Cobol (1986).
AIX Version 4.X
Operating on a RS6000 Machine.

I need to convert the data files to ascii.
Files ACCDATA ACHDATA etc. Many More.
I use the runcobol CNVTDATA command to convert data.

I was wondering.

Is there any other way to convert all the DATA files at once?

Or is there a better way to convert DATA to Sql, or any other database?

I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank You in Advance.
Paul

Hi PB111,

Could you please let me know the exact syntax of CNVTDATA statement?

Please assume that my data file name is GLMAST and file description file name is GLMAST.FD

I thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Kumar

Hi PB1111,

Just out of curiosity, what does the RM/COBOL runtime banner have for a version number and platform? I cannot believe that a version of RM/COBOL from 1986 is binary compatible with AIX 4.x on a RS/6000.

The earliest version of RM/COBOL that ran on a RS/6000 was 4.06 and was released in April of 1990.
