Class CobolPreprocessor

public class CobolPreprocessor

extends java.lang.Object

Very simple COBOL pre-processor that chops the left and right margins. Column start and end positions are configurable using a properties file. Linefeeds are retained as these are required by the main parser. COBOL files typically contain some junk characters and comment indicators in the "margins" and this routine removes those.
