+1Copybook and +1DataElements make it possible for one person to do what normally is done by four or
more people in the same amount of time.
+1Copybook allows you to concentrate on some of the more complex issues, such as
REDEFINES, dealing with PIC X and COMP-3 data appearing in the same positions for different records,
and other COBOL copybook gotcha's.
Finally, the risk of errors goes way down since the behavior and output of the programs are
predictable and consistent.
The generated HTML output allows you to review and begin software development work even before the
hardware has been purchased or the database set up since you can view how the database will
look like once it is created.
Today, +1Copybook and +1DataElements are the only utilities to convert COBOL copybooks into
SQL*Loader control files and CREATE TABLE scripts.
The alternative is to manually create these files by hand.
+1Copybook and +1DataElements allow you to compress your schedule, reduce resource requirements,
AND reduce the risk of costly errors.
