The JRecord Library is a java library for reading / writing Cobol-Files (including Mainframe files) / Fixed length Flat files (Text / Binary) / Delimited files. It use a record-layout (Cobol, Xml, Csv) file to describe the file to be read / written. It also has an Editor (to edit files using the record-Layout), a Wizard for creating XML record-layouts from a sample file and a Compare utility (that uses the layout in the compare process).
The Editor Can display the file in a Table or One Line Per page.
The Layout wizard allows you to create a XML-Layout from a Sample file by pointing and clicking on the Fields in the file.
The compare utility does a Field to Field Comparison. This allows fields to be by passed or files with quite different structures to be compared.
