We are looking for a PL/1 importer to create message definitions for very large PL/1 messages. We have a large number of PL/1 messages and each one is quite large. We "google" and did not find any.
Any suggestion or experience to share on how we can do it easily, if there is really no such importer, will be greatly appreciated. |

I guess I don't know what format PL/1 messages are described in.
You might have better luck finding something to convert that format into a copybook format, a C header or an XSD - rather than finding a message broker specific importer.
And there isn't a predefined, public API for creating importers - so it's not really something anyone outside of IBM could realistically produce.

What does it mean, "PL/1 messages"? Are you talking about messages from a PL/1 program or what?

| Any chance you could list the PL/1 data types that occur in your messages? If you are using data types that have an equivalent in COBOL or C, and that MRM CWF supports, then you might be able to recode in COBOL or C. Also, although PL/1 VAR CHAR is not a C or COBOL equivalent, MRM CWF does support this, so you can fix that up manually. |

| Thanks for the replies. We were hoping that there are some utilities which can automate the process (e.g. changing from PL/1 to COBOL copybook or C header so that we can import it to MRM). Looks like we have to do iot one by one and with some manual modification. |
