>There are several ways to access cobol files. You can use an ODBC Driver like U/SQL, which is a rather expensive package, or when you do not care about the option of using SQL to access the cobol files there is an activeX Control Named COBObjects via which you can access the Cobol Files as if they were Jet Engine Files. Both ways work even if the files reside on a Unix Server !!!!!

Know anything about access to VSAM or text files on IBM Mainframe?
