For convenience, copyfile javatypes.cpy defines a set of COBOL data types corresponding to Java data types - you can use these as a shorthand way of declaring data items for use with Java in your COBOL programs. You can find the copyfile in your directory.
These typedefs all start with the prefix "j" and are shown in the following table:
| Typedef | COBOL Type |
|---|---|
| jbyte | pic s99 comp-5 |
| jshort | pic s9(4) comp-5 |
| jint | pic s9(9) comp-5 |
| jlong | pic s9(18) comp-5 |
| jboolean
JNI-FALSE is false |
pic 99 comp-5 |
| jchar | pic 9(4) comp-5 |
| jfloat | comp-1 |
| jdouble | comp-2 |
| jobject | pointer |
| jbigdecimal | pic s9(19)v9(19) comp-31 |
| jbiginteger | pic s9(38) comp-3 1 |
| mf-sql-date | 0x jyear pic 9(4).
0x filler pic x. |
| mf-sql-time | 0x jhour pic 99.
0x jminute pic 99. |
