From: anonimous on 8 Aug 2005 06:06 Hi all, Is there anyone who know something about *.dat, *.id and *.x file formats? Is it possible that it is Cobol data? Any tool which could convert it to ASCII files? Thanks in advance! Anabella
From: SanjayJain on 8 Aug 2005 06:28 what gives you the idea that they are COBOL files do you have any idea whatsoever of their supposed contents, source etc you can write to me at skjain01.at.gmail.com (I do not chk COBOL groups often except when looking for COBOL outsourcing projects) Sanjay Jain India

The following could also be COBOL files: *.JPG *.GIF *.XLS *.IIF or any other extension. There is NO standard (or known) format for the files you list. What is it that leads you to contemplate that they MIGHT be files generated by COBOL?

It is always possible, and is more probable if they are actually *.dat and *.idx. > Any tool which could convert it to ASCII files? You need to know the meaning, positions and formats of the data fields. If you don't have a formal layout specification for the records, as you would have if the source code was available, then you probably can't do much.
