Need ODBC solution for COBOL data
We have an old DOS-based business system that I'd like to be able to extract data from (easily) - this will be a one-time exercise as we are migrating away from the DOS system. Microfocus COBOL. I'm looking at several tools which are all a little expensive - isn't there an ODBC driver out there that won't cost a lot?

Yes, I am asking for an ODBC driver that I can use to extract data from application called Real World accounting. We can get the data via text exports but I'm looking for something dynamic. Products I've seen out on the web that would likely handle this include Parkway, Transoft, Relativity, but I'm not going to spend that level of $$$.

Can you tell us what that database is? I.e., what DBMS defines it? What platform is it installed on and how does it run?
Without knowing the DBMS, there is no good way to know if any ODBC driver was ever created. Makes it difficult to provide answers.
