This COBOL/FOCUS process will create a file readable by a spreadsheet program (like Microsoft EXCEL) of the account summary data from the FRS program report FBM091. Check out this case study for information on my theory behind using COBOL in conjunction with FOCUS. First, a FOCUS program is used to extract the account summary entries from the report file (Z$PRT:FBM091.PRT). You can use the FOCBAT routine in ZSS (@ZS$COM:FOCBAT.COM) to run this program. Next, the COBOL program will format the resulting file created in the first step so that the data can be read into a spreadsheet program. Top Secret information : auditors love this type of stuff! :-)
