Yes, PERCobol can read Acu files.  There are two things required, one of which is compiling with '-Dca'  (This is so the datatypes will match up.) The other is in the ASSIGN statement; the ASSIGN must be to "acu:filename" instead of "filename". This tells the runtime the format of the file; "acu:file" is for AcuCobol, "mf:file" is for MicroFocus, "isam:" is for external ISAM plug-in, and "file" is for PERCobol files.
