Chapter 28  H2CPY 

The H2CPY ("header to copy") utility program translates 
C-language header files into their COBOL-equivalent copy files.  Its
principal use is to simplify COBOL programming when using system
libraries whose basic definitions are only provided for C programs.
Typical examples are interfaces to OS/2, OS/2 Presentation Manager, UNIX
TP systems (such as Tuxedo) and various relational databases for UNIX.
You can also use H2CPY when rewriting C programs for COBOL (although
H2CPY does not translate every type of entry that could appear in a C
header file).

The split78 utility helps you manage the copy files created by H2CPY.
