Chapter 3 Rebuild
This chapter describes how you invoke Rebuild, and lists the error
messages you may receive when running Rebuild.
The physical file formats used by this COBOL system for COBOL sequential,
relative and indexed data files are incompatible with the formats used in
Microsoft COBOL Version 1 and Version 2.2.
Rebuild, the file management utility, has a facility which converts
files in Microsoft COBOL V1 and V2.2 formats for use with this COBOL.
(You can find details of the other facilities offered by Rebuild in your
COBOL System Reference).
Restriction: Rebuild is provided only with DOS and OS/2 versions
of this system and runs only on DOS and OS/2.
We recommend that you make a backup copy of the file being converted
before using Rebuild. Rebuild takes every precaution to prevent the
source files being corrupted, but it can happen if the command line is
incorrectly specified.
