           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified

Description:
While working on COBOL files, sometimes we need to manipulate them on local
computers. It would be a nice improvement if you could take a COBOL Copybook (a
construct that specifies the fields on a dataset a COBOL program will
manipulate) and use it to format fields to be imported from a positional text
field

Steps to Reproduce:
Now:

1. Take a positional file
2. Open it on Calc as a Comma-Separated file
3. Choose Fixed-Length
4. Split manually the file before importing

The suggestions:

1. Take a positional file
2. Open it on Calc as a Comma-Separated file
3. Click a Load Template File
4. Select the Copybook
5. Look and confirm if the fields are correctly split (and signed and
decimal-pointed) according the COBOL Copybook

Actual Results:
It imports normally

Expected Results:
It imports normally


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
