I'm new to Visual Basic. I have written an little program
that creates a journal entry batch file which gets loaded
to our Unix box. We then run a utility to convert some of
the fileds in the batch to comp fields so that our
Accounting system can read it. We are using Micro Focus
as our Cobol provider.

My question is can I use VB to generate the same comp
fields as Cobol. I would love to skip running the batch
through the conversion utility each time.

Thanks in advance....

John
