Chapter 15 Converting DG COBOL Data Files
This chapter describes the Convert5 utility, which you must use to be
able to convert your DG Interactive COBOL data files to Micro Focus COBOL
data file format. When you use the Convert5 utility, a file conversion
program is produced, which itself can be used to convert your data files.
See the chapter Using the File Conversion Program for details on using
the file conversion program.
In order to run Convert5 you must supply it with the name of an existing
DG Interactive COBOL source program (or COPY-file) that is syntactically
correct. This source program must contain the FD and SELECT...ASSIGN
entries, together with any associated record definitions, for the DG
Interactive COBOL data file which you want to convert. See the chapter
Running Convert5 for details on running Convert5.
