[brlug-general] COBOL on IBM pSeries

[Dustin Puryear]

Pervasive! Yeah, we've had several clients that have run Pervasive on Windows and Linux. In fact, we've had several clients that ran their ACCPAC accounting systems on it.

Our POS system used to, back in the day, use cobol sequential indexed files.  Now that it is "windows based" they still use cobol sequential indexed based files but as btreive files that if structured right, are accessed through PSQL.

I know someone that has some old COBOL sequential-indexed files (database) that they want to import into a SQL Server. Clearly it would be more akin to a CSV import into tables than a straight import.

Anyone have experience with this?
