You would like toseamlessly improve your sort performance
in an MF COBOL Server Express, Net Express or Workbench environment;
i.e. without making any changes to your programs. You
may also want a callable sort utility or API library for embedded
data transformation and reporting.
Solutions:
Drop-in Sort Replacement
CoSort provides libraries that hook seamlessly to Micro Focus COBOL on Unix and Windows systems, improving the native sort speeds up to 6 times with no source code changes.
Callable Acceleration
MF COBOL users can also call CoSort utilities programs and APIs to improve sorting, transformation, and reporting performance directly from applications written in MF COBOL. CoSort supports the collation, conversion and creation of MF COBOL data types.
MFVL and ISAM Handling
Through IRI's membership in the Micro Focus Tech Link program, CoSort also supports the collation, conversion and creation of MF COBOL Variable Length records and ISAM index file format, to and from other file formats.
COBOL Data Type Conversion
In addition to file format translations, the CoSort SortCL and NextForm tools can also
process and convert all ACUCOBOL, Micro Focus and RM COBOL data types
(including packed and zoned decimal). You can convert between these
types and to and from each other data types such as ASCII, Numeric and
Unicode.
COBOL Copybook Translation
CoSort leverages your existing metadata and saves time in the creation of SortCL job scripts through a file dictonary (FD) translation utility called 'cob2ddf.' Short for COBOL-to-DDF, this free command line utility automatically converts the copybook descriptions of your input and/or output files into the equivalent data defintion file (.ddf) layouts for immediate inclusion or repository use in CoSort SortCL applications.
