Cobol Copybook Parser

Question

Can anybody suggest me how to extract the fields of a Cobol Copybook? It will be helpful if you could help with the code snippet or any links? Example:

I want to extract it like this.

Field No.
Field Name
Field Type      (999 or S9(4) or x(5)....)
Field Type-add  (COMP, COMP-3, etc.,)
Other-Details   (Copy Everything until "." excluding PIC clause)

You could use the Java-based ProLeap COBOL parser to extract all kinds of data from COBOL files such as level numbers, picture strings etc. Also you can extract COMP, COMP-1 etc. from the usage clause like this.
