Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium comprising executable instructions to: receive an identification of a plurality of data records comprising at least a first type and a second type, wherein the first type of data record is defined by a first data record schema represented in COBOL, and the second type of data record is defined by a second data record schema represented in COBOL; create a first standardized data record schema corresponding to the first data record schema, wherein the first standardized data record schema includes a first data record key corresponding to the first type of data record; create a second standardized data record schema corresponding to the second data record schema, wherein the second standardized data record schema includes a second data record key corresponding to the second type of data record; process the plurality of data records to determine data records of the first type by comparing the first data record key of the first standardized data record schema to a corresponding field included in the plurality of data records, wherein each data record of the first type has a first set of fields; and process the plurality of data records to determine data records of the second type by comparing the second data record key of the second standardized data record schema to the corresponding field included in the plurality of data records, wherein each data record of the second type has a second set of fields different from the first set of fields; wherein the first data record key and the corresponding field included in each data record of the first type have a first common value; and wherein the second data record key and the corresponding field included in each data record of the second type have a second common value different from the first common value.
