[comp.infosystems] COBOL/ISPF

Are there utilities available to facilitate writing COBOL to drive ISPF dialogs.For a  given screen and set of dialog variables working storage entries must be coded to give each variable storage, a name and a length, then a VDEFINE call must be made to define it to the dialog manager. Given a panel definition, it would be nice to run it through a utility to generate COBOL copybooks for the necessary working storage declares and procedure division VDEFINE calls. Is there such an animal ?
