DYL-280 to Spectrum Writer Conversion Helper

Instructions and Information
As mentioned in the DYL-280 conversion FAQ, there is no program (that we know of) that converts an entire DYL-280 program to Spectrum Writer. But this conversion "helper" can give you a headstart in your conversion process. By letting this conversion helper perform some of the routine conversion work for you (specifically, the input record layouts) you can save lots of time and effort. To see a demonstration using the sample DYL-280 statements above, just click the Convert button.

How to Use this Tool
Simply paste your DYL-280 file definition (a File statement, followed by the individual field definitions) in the left-hand box above. Then press the Convert button. The conversion helper will parse through the DYL-280 file definition and create a Spectrum Writer file definition. Use these Spectrum Writer statements in your converted program.

Note: Be sure to paste only pure text data into the box. For example, paste DYL-280 code copied from Notepad or something similar. Code copied from a word processor program (like Word) usually contains formatting codes and other non-text bytes that prevent the helper from properly parsing the DYL-280 code.
