Chapter 15 Converting DG COBOL Data Files This chapter describes the convert5 utility, which you must use to be able to convert your DG Interactive COBOL data files to Micro Focus COBOL data file format. When you use the convert5 utility, a file conversion program is produced, which itself can be used to convert your data files. See Chapter 17 for details on using the file conversion program. In order to run convert5 you must supply it with the name of an existing DG Interactive COBOL source program (or copy file) that is syntactically correct. This source program must contain the FD and SELECT ... ASSIGN entries, together with any associated record definitions, for the DG Interactive COBOL data file which you want to convert. See Chapter 16 for details on running convert5.
