REDEFINES, SIGN IS TRAILING and 88 level support

Anonymous — Tue, 25 May 2010 12:01:58 -0000

Hi Nico,
it will be nice if OpenFileAid would support REDEFINES, handle the SIGN IS LEADING/TRAILING clause of a numeric fields and if the 88 level that match the value of data would be highlighted or just had an "X" in the value.
Thanks a lot.

Improvement on copybook extraction

Anonymous — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:52:16 -0000

The current export feature only exports the structure definition described in the copybook.
The export feature should be improved as follows :
- Export the structure and the content currently mapped as XML format
- Export the structure and the total content of the mapped file as XML format
- Export the structure and the total content of the mapped file as CSV format

Improvement on research feature

Anonymous — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:47:22 -0000

The search feature should find elements that are not the exact element name, but that match the search pattern.

For instance, the search for VAR in the following copybook :
01 TESTCOPY.
05 VAR1 PIC X(5).
05 VAR2 PIC 9(5).
05 FIELD1 PIC 9(5).
05 FIELDVAR PIC 9(2).
should find the result set {VAR1, VAR1, FIELDVAR}
