DataStage and Cobol Files, Microfocus, RM_Cobol and others

Post by jemalagong »

Is possible to read an indexed file in Microfocus Cobol Server Express 4.4 for Solaris Sparc 9 platform? I must consider that when the Microfocus Cobol file has a size superior to 1 Gb is created one more by each Gb than it is surpassed. Thanks.

Welcome aboard! :D

There's nothing 'native' to the product to do so. However, perhaps by purchasing specific ODBC drivers or an iWay C-ISAM Adaptor you should be able to do it.

Welcome Aboard :P
Is the file in binary format? I guess you can use the cff stage. Play with it and see if it works. Also, you will have to ftp your file onto the datastage server first before you can do anything, unless you have samba or some other third party tool installed that makes the two servers visible to each other.
