#70 RES bombing out when trying to convert provided cobol files

[Anonymous]

I was trying out RES and encountered a problem. When I run it to convert any of the supplied cobol example files it is erroring out like this:

[root@devibm RES]# java -jar RES.jar -v -p -free cobol/ACCEPT.cob
RES Cobol 2 Java alpha1.2(03/25/2010) - COPYRIGHT 2009
Options: sourceFormat=free;
cobol/ACCEPT.cob
Parsing Cobol started for: /home/user1/cobol2java/RES/cobol/ACCEPT.cob
com.res.cobol.parser.ParseException: Encountered " "#" "# "" at line 1, column 1.
Was expecting:
<EOF>

Done in 0s.

[root@devibm RES]#

I looked at the cobol source and there is no "#" character on the line specified in the error, but I did notice that there is a file named "$temporary.file" in the directory that I ran the jar file from. The first line of that file contains:
# 1 "/home/user1/cobol2java/RES/cobol/ACCEPT.cob"
After that line is a blank line, and then a copy of the contents of the source file.

I'm assuming what is happening is that RES is creating that file with a copy of the contents of the source input file, then working from it. It is adding that first line for some reason and choking on it.

My java -version output is:
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

Platform is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

Please make sure you are using a version after May 1, 2010 from sourceforge site, in which I have introudced Linux support for the first time.

Hi,

I am also getting the same was expecting EOF exception. When tried with -fixed, getting the error in different line. I do not think it is an issue with Linux, becos I am working on windows.

Hi Jaisam,

Which download version are you using?

Because I know others are using it successfully on Windows and Linux.

If you are facing problems with your own Cobol program, can you please send me the test case to open.cobol.to.java@gmail.com

If it is a problem with sample program, please indicate.

Thanks for your Reply Venkat,

This is the version (1.5alpha-05-06-2010) I am using. Please see the out put.

cobolComments=true;cobolStatementsASComments=true;javaType=most;longDataPackageName=true;overwrite=true;sourceFormat=free;
Parsing Cobol started for: C:\TEMP\Softwares\newres\RES\cobo\test.cob
com.res.cobol.parser.ParseException: Encountered " "**" "** "" at line 112, column 7.
Was expecting:
<EOF>

I could not see anything odd in this line, even after giving some blank line it complains at the same place.

I appreciate your help

With Regards
Jaisam

try running with -trace option and please email me the output and cobol program.

This could be a syntax error or unsupported feature. I can look and make changes.
