Many of them have ODBC capabilities. You have to look and see if you can find what suits your needs. DataVision is an example. The Rpv Printing System seems to be interesting although not free (http://www.rpvreport.com/). Regards. Alain

Perhaps I don't have explained very well. I need to do a graphical module for an invoice, ..now i must do this manually changing parameters in a Txt file, i list you an example of some line in the txt file: _______________________ Beginning module: D MODUL=IMI |DENDF=12 |INIZD=14 |FINED=45 |SEGY=47 |SEGX=72 |CAUS=2 Structure parameters: g OGGET=BOX02.DESTINATION |TPOGG=B |POSY=212 |POSX=405 |ALTEZ=120 |LARGH=370 |SPESS=0 .......... ........... Fields d OGGET=WD-CLI-COD |TIPOD=TM |POSX=05 |POSY=03 |LUNG=06 # == Customer code ........ ........ _______________________ After I insert the name of module (IMI) in the cobol program. I need to know if i can make this txt file with a visual editor program instead of change manually the file parameters and if exist a free one. Thanks.. Regards Davide

There are forms designers that can be used with Cobol, such as Fujitsu's PowerForm http://www.adtools.com/products/windows/pform.htm and Flexus FormPrint http://www.flexus.com/formprint.html I have used others that were not specifically for Cobol but it seems that you want a specific form of output so it can be used with your existing merge tools. |
