COBOL import properties

  • Character encoding: Specify the character encoding for the data to be processed. For more information, see Character encoding.
  • Free form (no sequence numbers): Select this check box if your COBOL copybook uses the free form format.
  • Start column: Specify the start column. The default value is 7, which is the start column in traditional COBOL structures.
  • End column: Specify the end column. The default value is 72, which is the end column in traditional COBOL structures.
  • Should reference structures be created alongside the main structure?: Select this check box if you want to create a structure for each record in your COBOL copybook. These structures will then be used in the main structure containing all records.
