| Layout Definition Utility - Analyzing a COBOL Library |
| Although you can enter the whole layout definition yourself, it is generally better to start by having the Layout Definition Utility analyze an existing COBOL COPY Library. To do this, use the Create from COBOL Library function on the File menu. This displays an Open File dialog in which you select the COBOL library to be analyzed.
The Layout Definition Utility analyzes the data descriptions in the COBOL library and automatically populates the layout for both input and output files. You can then make any edits that are required and save the layout to a layout definition file. |
