2.8.3 Generating the RECORD Description File

To generate RECORD description file, run cpy2record command, specifying the name of the copybook file as an argument. You can optionally specify a directory in which the resulting output file should be written. By default, the output file is written to the current directory.

For example, the tool is invoked as follows:

cpy2record abc.cbl

The output of the cpy2record command is the binary version of the RECORD description file, for example, abc.R.
