Hello,

As you were told in the other forum, you can use fileaid. If something in your organization prevents this, it is an issue for your manager to resolve. . .

To get the offsets for a copybook you can also simply run a compile and the offsets will be shown n the compile output.

If anyone n your organizaton is familiar with easytrieve, there is an easytrieve macro (CBLCNVRT) that will convert a cobol copybook to an easytrieve layour which contains offsets.

Posting in both forums can cause a user to be banned. . .
Hope this helps,
d.sch.
