Do someone know if there is some object to read
a COBOL database with JDBC?
Thanks a lot.

What the database is written in, or what program put it the data there
is irrelevant. You do it the same way with JDBC.
which can be opened and read by regular COBOL definitions/statements.
Check http://www.legacyj.com/percobol/perc_tech.html for some types
of COBOL proprietary data types/files.

AFAIK they can't be read by regular JDBC drivers.
Please coorect me if I'm wrong
I need to read C-ISAM Microfocus file.
Maybe the iWay has something about this.
Dave said:Accessing legacy systems isn't as simple as using JDBC unless the application
is sitting over a standard database (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc). If the
data is stored in a COBOL ISAM file, the only way to get to it is through a
COBOL program.
Thomas Kellerer said:Why should COBOL be the *only* way? After all it's a file on disk, and can be
opened in binary mode.
If that file format is documented, or can be re-engineered then it should be
possible to read it with Java.
