By default, if COBOL group items have an identical structure,
they are mapped to the same Java™ class.
You can remap the group item to another Java class
type or a new class type.
About this task
Note: A COBOL top-level item cannot be mapped to the same Java class as another top-level
item even if they have an identical structure. For more information,
see
Identical COBOL structures.
You remap a COBOL group item either
to another Java class type or
a new Java class type during
the XOM generation process, when the XOM generation wizard displays
the Configure COBOL XOM Mapping page.
Procedure
- In the COBOL Structure pane on the Configure
COBOL XOM Mapping page, select a parent group item of the
COBOL group item that you want to remap.
In the following
example, if you want to remap
COBORROWER to a different
class, you must select
LOAN in the
COBOL
Structure pane.
01 LOAN
......
05 BORROWER.
10 NAME PIC X(20).
10 BIRTHDAY PIC X(8).
05 COBORROWER.
10 NAME PIC X(20).
10 BIRTHDAY PIC X(8).
05 ........
- Click the Java class
type that you want to remap in the Java type
column in the XOM Mapping pane:
- Select New Class to remap the COBOL group
item to a new Java class type.
- Select a Java class type
in the drop-down list to remap the COBOL group item to another Java class type.
- Click Finish when you are ready
to generate the XOM.
