BBBB in copybook

Open sou-joshi opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Background

I am trying to read a cool playbook that has "BBBB". Looks something like this. 20240129_221733.jpg

Version of spark - 3.4.1 Scala - 2.12

Cobol_parser - 2.12:2.6.9 Spark-cool- 2.12.:2.6.9

Question

Is it possible to handle such "BBBB" defines? Has anyone come across this before. I currently get syntax error with Invalid input "BBBB" at position ...

Hi @sou-joshi, we haven't encountered 'B' in field PIC definitions. Could you send some info or reference to documentation on how it works, please. I couldn't find it easily.

Thabks for your response @yruslan . Well,not sure what it means. I couldn't find anything either. Tried to remove it. I get duplicate field error

Hi, sorry, I've missed the reply. The duplicate error happens when a copybook contains a field having the same name on the same level. Spark does not duplicate names, so the way to workaround it is to rename one of duplicate fields.
