Converting Data Files 

convert5, the file conversion utility, converts specified indexed,
relative or sequential data files, from DG Interactive COBOL format to
the format used by this system.  This ensures that when you run your DG
Interactive COBOL programs within this COBOL environment, you can still
access existing data files which they have produced.

In order to convert your data files, you must supply convert5 with the
source program which produced them.

The program that you specify must already be in a format that can be
accepted by this COBOL system.

You do not need to convert line sequential files since they are already
in a format that is compatible with this system's requirements.
