If you know COBOL, direct your data to a disk file in lue of print.
Then the datafile can be FTP'ed to a location used by MSACCESS and linked.

Alternative, COBOL sometimes creates Temporary Files (like during a sort) that can be copied and linked to MSACCESS.

Native Data Structure of COBOL data storage is not compatable directly. I have read about Applications on the market that break down that wall by Rand McNally.

best of luck
