>>>>>>>>>>Then it sounds like you are looking at a indexed Cobol File. What you need to do is to write a quick COBOL program that essentially reads in the file and writes it right back out sequentially. Then download THAT file to your network and append into the Fox.

>>>It is RMCOBOL/85 Version 5.36.00 for dos 2.00+

>>>Pls help me with this as I have to just transfer the data from the files in dbf or txt or any other format which I read in windows...

>>Liant Software (the owners of RMCOBOL) have a product called Relativity which in essence gives you ODBC access to RMCOBOL Indexed data files. However, it is a bit expensive, particularly if this is a one-shot operation. My company happens to own a copy of Relativity since we have several products written in RMCOBOL.

>>Is this a one-shot operation or will you need continuous access to the COBOL files?
>>
>>If it's a one-shot operation, I could probably do the conversion for you. If you need continuous access to the COBOL data, you'll need to get Relativity.

>No, this is one-shot operation, once my data is converted in Foxpro, I will never look back to Cobol...

>(sorry for that, but I'm really having very difficult time in converting this project, I learned cobol years back and haven't done much programming in it..& I need to convert this program in FoxPro as the programmer who developed the cobol package is gone..)
