Import COBOL Copybooks in IBM Rational Data Architect: Don't Lose the Legacy

Overview COBOL copybooks are often considered to be "Legacy data." Many companies rely on the information in those structures, so they need to be included in the data modeling process. In this paper learn how to import COBOL copybooks in IBM Rational Data Architect and include them in the data model. Since Fix Pack 1, Rational Data Architect has been able to import COBOL copybooks as a logical data model. Importing as a physical model is not possible because physical data models in Rational Data Architect require database specification, which is not part of the copybook specification. Copybooks have a simple structure containing a description of a data record.
