As I converted my nth COBOL file definition to FOCUS format last
night, I wondered to myself if anyone had created a parser to read
a COBOL description and create a FOCUS master file description.
If anyone out there has such a utility, please let me know.
Peter.

Hello Peter
A DTR (CDD) --> FOCUS (.MAS) converter exists.
Info can be found on Notes file SHIRE::FOCUS note 22.3
Hope this help.

THERE'S ONE ON THE IBM SIDE. I don't know of a VAX version.
I think IBI is developing something to generate masters from
the CDD (Common Data Dict)

Check with IBI for low-level documentation on the AUTORMS feature
that was shipped with v5.2 but no one thought to tell anyone about
it until 7/14/88 when IBI release a post-facto memo.
I haven't use AUTORMS but it converts a FD into a master. Whenever
there's a problem (i.e. names larger than 12 bytes) it truncates.
If the name is not unique, it appends a sequence number. It appears
that the best feature is the RMS to FOCUS data type conversion.
