Converting multi-occurance COBOL file to RPG Physical File

[Guest.Visitor]

I have be given the wonderful task of converting a multi-occurance Cobol file to a physical file that can be read by RPG. What would be the best approach?...Creating a record with a long length or creating records for each occurance OR is there a physical file keyword that I am unaware of that will accommodate the occurance issue. Thanks for any help. Signed, Stumped

So, you are saying that the "COBOL" file has no external DDS specification? It is a "flat" file? If this is the case, I would recommend separating the record types into unique PF's and then creating a multiple format Logical.
