Hi ,
My COBOL program has got deleted ,actually i made a mistake in taking a backup copy.
so the spool where i compiled is the only source for me to retrieve the code but this code is completely in the expanded format.
I need to know is there any other workaround so that i can retrieve my program back.
Actually is there any way that the loadlib can be converted back to the program code.
Help is needed in this regard. thanks in advance. |

If you don't have such a tool (I'm not even sure it exists), how can it be an option ?
This is not the kind of tool that can be written in REXX in a few minutes...
If there's no backup, then I would say restoring from the compile listing is the only option.
And, if it is a DB2 or CICS program, using the precompiler listing is better than the cobol listing. |

@Technocrat
Restoring from listing is the best option. Though you can create source from load, you'll lose the variable names used in the program. |

Thanx ranjith, and Marso
but the compile listing is been expanded with alal the DB2 TABLES and the copybooks
and also the listings is been expanded till the 130 th column.
Can i use the file transfer option in the mainframes where i can transfer the data from the .TXT file to the COBOL pds.
Please let me know for this option as i have taken the COMPILE listing and sorted out and now want to upload it to the system. |

Hello,
Yes, the .txt file can probably be uploaded to the mainframe.
One easy way to do this (if you have permission on your system) is to use the ftp client on your pc, connect to the mainframe ftp, position the mainframe to an upload pds (one you create for this - not some common use pds), and transmit the file from your pc to a member on the manframe specifying ASCII.
Once you have successfully uploaded the .txt file, you can do whatever is needed.
If there are questions/problems with the file transfer, the fastest way to get this resolved is working with the system support people for that system. |

| if your source was stored in a PDS, not a PDSE, and the PDS was NOT compressed since you deleted the member, you can recover the deleted members. See the PDS command on the CBT tape (cbttape.org) and check with your help desk and system programming staff to see if they already have it installed. They may have the commercial version, STARTOOLS. |
