Introduction Data Converter is a tool for converting data files from one format to another. You define the input and output file formats and Data Converter performs the task of moving the data between various file formats, for example between a COBOL data file and a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format file.

It can also convert between different character code systems, such as between ASCII and EBCDIC, or ASCII and Unicode. To Use Help - Please use a browser that supports HTML3.2 (Netscape Navigator V4.03 or newer, or Internet Explorer V3.02 or newer). -

For simplicity, this online manual refers to either NetCOBOL or COBOL generically as "COBOL". The "Data Converter - Readme" topic defines

the relationship between "NetCOBOL" or "COBOL" and Data Converter.
