I've written a number of PRO*Cobol programs so if you have any queries just mail me. Also, if you're on version 7.3 of ORACLE then you can read/write flat files using the UTL_FILE package. It has a few foibles, like ORACLE being the file owner when running on a Unix box, but so far we've found that converting PRO*Cobol programs to PL/SQL using UTL_FILE has speeded them up quite a bit, 'cos communication between the Cobol program and the ORACLE database can be rather poor, with SQL*Net spending a lot of time 'waiting' for reponses.
