Re: Parse ACUCOBOL Vision Index Files

In Q1 2014, IRI (The CoSort Company) is releasing NextForm v3 to convert Vision (and MF-ISAM) index files into flat file formats. NextForm is a data and database migration utility that also supports basic data manipulation, replication, federation, and reporting.

CoSort will support these index file formats as well, enabling heavier-duty data transformation, masking, and BI, plus direct DB table population.

See http://www.iri.com/products/nextform for more information.

I know this is a very late response, but just for anyone looking in the future, MF-COBOL is not the same as ACUCOBOL, and they dont even both use VISION, only ACUCOBOL uses VISION. There is a tool available from IRI, for ACUCOBOL and VISION, or Rocket (The new owners of ACUCOBOL) has the XDBC available which can work well with migrating and/or integrating COBOL and a modern DB.
