copybook-dialect

Shared dialect contract for ODO (OCCURS DEPENDING ON) min_count semantics.

Overview

Different COBOL compilers interpret the minimum occurrence count in ODO declarations differently. This crate provides the Dialect enum and an effective_min_count helper that normalizes declared bounds according to the selected dialect (IBM, Micro Focus, etc.).

Usage

use copybook_dialect::{Dialect, effective_min_count};
use std::str::FromStr;

let dialect = Dialect::from_str("1")?; // OneTolerant (Micro Focus)
assert_eq!(effective_min_count(dialect, 0), 1);
# Ok::<(), String>(())

Public API

• Dialect — Normative, ZeroTolerant, OneTolerant
• effective_min_count(dialect, declared_min_count) — Apply dialect rules
