Yes. HostBridge provides a program that will accept as input the BMS macro code generated by SDF2, and generate as output the identical BMS macro code with the long/real field names. Fortunately, all the info we need to do this is included in the BMS macro source generated by SDF2. The great thing about this approach is that it is totally transparent to the COBOL program/programmer. It is also totally transparent to HostBridge. All you would need to do is include an additional step in the JCL used to generate/compile your SDF2 maps.
