JRecord is a library to read/write Cobol data files from Java using a Cobol copybook. It can also be used to read and write General Flat Files (Csv, Fixed Width) from java (using a Xml File Description.

Changes 0.80.8

• There is a new Default Csv parser that is much Closer to the Csv Standard. Most people should notice the difference. JRecord will use the new CsvLine class (instead of Line) when reading Csv files. For the most part you should not notice the difference, there are some situations where you might, e.g. if the input line is "","","" if you do line.getFullLine() you get back "","","" while with the new CsvLine you get ,,. If you want to use the "old" lines, you can:
• New CobolIoBuilder classes have been introduced (JRecord_Basics.htmlBasic IoBuilder Introduction and examples). These should make it easier read and write cobol data files.
• There are new Csv options for Csv files with embedded carriage-return (n) characters:
• By default, JRecord will still use the cb2xml.properties file; but you can specify Cobol columns via CommonBits or specifying the columns when converting the cobol copybook.
• The GetUnique*Field methods and getFields methods have been replaced by new getGroupField and getGroup... read more

JRecord:

Is a package to read Fixed Width and Delimited Flat files in java via a Record-Layout (File Description) The Main RecordLayout formats are XML or Cobol, other formats can be added if necessary.

The package can supports standard Unix / Windaws files plus some legacy Formats as well

0.65 Changes Include

• New XML RecordLayout (to go with the existing Cobol
  Layouts). These XML layouts can be
• Created by the Layout-Wizard
• Exported from the RecordEditor (Version 0.65 or Latter)
• Minor enhancements to Java Classes
• getFieldValue method in AbstractLine
• asLayoutDetail in Externale record
• New Editor program to Edit files using a supplied RecordLayout (cobol or XML).
• Layout Wizard - builds XML Record Layouts from a sample
  file by pointing at the fields.
• New Diff Utility, It does a field based
  compare. The
  advantages with this are
• Files in different formats can be compared
  (e.g. Fixed Width files can be
  compared with Delimited files).
• Fields can be ignored from the compare. This
  is very useful when changing a program
  (and only a couple of fields change) You can
  run old / new programs and ignore the fields
  that should change - Compare should show no differences.... read more
