Parsing Copybook Entries

New functionality in COBOL Copybook Converter 5.1.2 and above, allows for more accurate parsing of data entries. The Converter’s parser no longer assigns globally unique names to identical data entries. If there are more than two data entries with identical names, level numbers, and same direct parent data entry, an exception will be thrown at parsing time, as follows:

com.stc.cococo.builder.CocoParseException: CCCB4200:

Parse exception at line 126, column 64, item (n/a), token (n/a):

CCCB4201: Copybook item processing error.
