RE: [Tiny-cobol-users] Bugs in DISPLAY

Number 1 makes sense.  Without the closing quote mark, the token continues
until the end of the file.  What behavior were you expecting?

I have always created a screen of literals in WORKING-STORAGE rather than
using a DISPLAY <literal> format.  There are a few reasons for this: i)
depending on the screen size (ROWxCOL) one can pretty easily lay out the
screen so that it is easily viewable in WORKING-STORAGE as what you expect
to see on the screen after the DISPLAY [an early wysiwyg :)]; ii)
reusability, you may find a use for different parts of the screen at some
later point; iii) maintainability, just easier for me to maintain my
ewysiwyg.

Hi all,

I've had problems in DISPLAY verb.

1. Using a DISPLAY verb with literals, if the string isn't terminated(if the
double quotes are opened and don't closed), the scanner shows the following
message: "scanner token too large". 
If the string need be continued in other line and don't have the I/O screen
statements(as line/position statement), the scanner shows the same message
above.
Example programs: disp02.cob, disp03.cob
