Running the File Conversion Program
You can run the file conversion program in either interactive or batch
mode.
To run the file conversion program in interactive mode, you supply the
name of the file after the run command for this COBOL system. This is
the same as running any other program. Your COBOL System Reference
contains more information.
This command causes the display of the following prompt:
Please enter the input data file name
Enter the name of the RM/COBOL data file to be converted and press Enter
. This file must be the file for which this file conversion program was
generated.
Now the following prompt is displayed:
Please enter the output data file name
Enter the name of the COBOL system's data file to which the RM/COBOL data
file is to be converted and press Enter . This name must not be the same
as the RM/COBOL data file.
If any errors occur during conversion, an error message is displayed on
the screen.
To run the file conversion program in batch mode, you use the run command
for your COBOL system, but before you press Enter type:
program-file input-file output-file
where:
program-file is the intermediate or native code file for the
file conversion program
input-file is the name of the RM/COBOL data file to be
converted
output-file is the name to be given to the converted data file.
