Create a MFD from a COBOL Copybook

I've been out of the mainframe arena for a while and remember (back in the archives) creating a MFD from a copybook. What was it? Does anyone have a utility that creates a MFD from a COBOL Copybook? This is on MVS TSO.
Thanks a meg, Doug

Doug,

Go to Advanced Search and type in COBOL Copybook.

COBOL to FOCUS (CTF) documentation is all there...

Thanks Tom,
Unfortunatly, we don't have that (CTF) here. The CTF is a billable item, right?

Hey Doug,

YEP! COBOL Translator for the mainframe costs $$$.
Now, you get to hand-code, like I did back in 1998 for Mitsubishi Y2K conversion (THANKS!! for the memory!!).

Good Luck and Have FUN!!

Do you have Describing Data With
WebFOCUS Language. It might be of help a little, there a few references to COBOL.

Yeah Tom, I think I wrote something to do this back in 89 @ GMAC Insurance... (Bad) Memories. Sorry I brought them back...

Thanks Leah, I'll check that out as well...
