JRecord allows you to read legacy, fixed width, and delimited flat files in Java. Files are interpreted via a Record-Layout (file description), which can be COBOL-Copybook or a XML-file-description.
The package can handle both Text and Binary Cobol files (it can handle Standard carriage-Return, Fixed Width and Length based (VB)) Files.
