Does anyone have any insights/experience on options for parsing COBOL?
I am working on a project where we will need to extract data file
declarations and access these files using other applications using
multiplatform C/C++.


So far we've considered the CobolTransformer Toolkit from Siber
Systems (www.siber.org), the COBOL parser from CocoLab
(http://www.cocolab.de/) or rolling or own using Coco/R
(http://cs.ru.ac.za/homes/cspt/cocor.htm), Visual Parse++ from
Sandstone (www.sand-stone.com).


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[There's some stuff in the FAQ. The grammar for Cobol isn't particularly
complex, but it's very large with an enormous number of different tokens.
