You know what I am actually looking at doing? You may laugh but it has worked for me in the past. I am thinking of pulling the IBM HTML documentation into MS-Word and massaging it there into C declarations. I did this for a *LOT* of RACF record layouts for the CorreLog product, so I know whereof I speak. Why MS-Word?
- IBM's HTML tables map to MS-Word tables. You can then manipulate stuff by columns. For example, the doc's Foo CL8 wants to become char Foo[8]; So you duplicate the CL8 column and have CL8 Foo CL8. Then you change the first column's CL8 to char and the third column's CL8 to [8]; and you are most of the way there. Not sure if this description make sense, but it works, at least for me. - Good visual text manipulation tools - I have done it before and am familiar with it.
