You can use the COBOL Model Import wizard to import COBOL
source code to a logical data model. With the wizard, you transform
the data structures in a COBOL source file to a logical data model
and then import the model to a project.
Before you begin
- Set options for the COBOL Importer in the Preferences window ().
- Ensure that the project in which you want to store the imported
logical data model exists in the Data Project Explorer.
About this task
The COBOL Model Import wizard uses the COBOL Importer,
which produces a DATA Model (CAM) - EMF resource from a COBOL source
file. The type declarations in the COBOL source code are mapped to
data types in the logical data model.
To import COBOL source
code to a logical data model:
- Select .
- In the Import wizard, select .
- Complete the steps of the wizard. To see information
about the fields in the wizard, press F1.
Results
The logical data model is created from the transformed
COBOL source code and is stored in the project in the Data Project
Explorer that you specified in the wizard. If you specified a data
design project, the imported model is stored in the Data
Models folder of the project.
