Converting Data Files Convert3, the file conversion utility, converts specified data files from RM/COBOL format to the format used by this system. This ensures that when you run your RM/COBOL programs in this COBOL environment, you can still access existing data files that they have produced. To convert your data files to the format used by this system, you must supply Convert3 with the syntactically correct RM/COBOL source programs which produced them. See the chapters Converting RM/COBOL Data Files, Running Convert3 and Using the File Conversion Program for full details on Convert3. Any RM data file which contains both the index and the data cannot be converted to Micro Focus format by the conversion program created by Convert3. You must convert this data file to separate data and index files, using the Dump85 RM utility.
