@Kirk, interesting. I was not aware of that tool. I have used the DSECT to C header conversion tool that is part of the XLC product, but I was not aware of this tool.
I am not much of a Java guy but IIRC it would be a fairly short editing leap from Java classes to C structs. Unfortunately, as you imply, it needs DSECT or COBOL layouts as input, and I don't have that. What is needed is a tool that would take a PDF manual as input! (Only half kidding. Could ChatGPT do that?) I have the HLASM ADATA layouts in DSECT form, but most of the record types are not alike beyond the name and the type code.
