Copybook parsing error

Just change the Copybook format combo tofree format; see attached picture

The coments at the start of the copybook start in column 1; the rest of the copybook appears to be a normal copybook

I am able to open/review the copybook but the associated data is producing garbage. Can you recommend any default settings?

When I view the associated file in a Hex Editor (EBCDIC View) I can clearly see data (see attached file).

There is 9 bytes (hex zero's) before the data defined in the copybook starts.

Can you tell me about the file, why there is the hex zero's at the start.

I will send you my e-mail address

Bruce, sorry for any confusion. The 9 bytes were coming from a previous record. I was providing you with an example. I am send you, via your e-mail address, a copy of the data.

Hopefully it isworking now:

• I will look at the Cobol Import to see if I can do a better job of working out the "RecordDecider" field.
• Longer Term I will look at adding the RecordLength to the Record Layout definition. This requires DB changes, I will do this later in the year (hopefully).

Can you Export and Xml version of the copybook and send it to me (+ file)

• Select Record Layout >>> Edit Layout
• Select the Record Description
• There is a button Save as Xml near the top of the screen second from the Right

Did you import the Xml Schema I sent you ???

• Record Layout >>>Load Xml Copybook
