Seg, what Juan wants is a JDBC Driver to read cobol files. The RecordEditor uses a Database
(i.e. HSQLDB) to store file meta data (ie Field Sales-Qty is a 4 byte big-endian binary integer)
which is used to display File details on the screen (i.e.
http://record-editor.sourceforge.net/Record04.htm).
The HSQLDB driver is not much use to him.
Both HsqlDb and H2 have support for Csv Tables, Either could be adapted to use
Cobol Files using JRecord (
http://jrecord.sourceforge.net/JRecord04.html#Header_10- reading Cobol Files using a Cobol copybook).
Not sure what the Demand is though, Most large firms have the money/prefer
comercially supported products
I Could write a Cobol-to-Csv file program for single record files
