[Tiny-cobol-users] Before the next release...

[Mirce V. <vm...@ma...>]

There are some things that I think should be improved in the next =
release :

    1. INSPECT SOME-FIELD .... doesn't work and=20
        INSPECT "some text in brackets" ..... works.=20

    2. When there is a  :

            DISPLAY MYSCREEN.
            ACCEPT  MYSCREEN.

            and type something in the first field on the screen and then =
I move from one screen field to=20
        another , and then I goback to previous screen field ,  it's =
value (of the previous) gets lost and an empty=20
        field is presented.

    3. It would be good if the ctrl+C is enabled to interrupt TINY-COBOL =
programs just like all the other programs in Linux.

    4.
            READ MY-FILE.
            MOVE FILE-ALPHANUMERIC-FIELD TO SCREEN-ALPHANUMERIC-FIELD.
            DISPLAY MY-SCREEN.
            ACCEPT MY-SCREEN.

      The value of the FILE-ALPHANUMERIC-FIELD is=3D"1234567     "
and the value of SCREEN-ALPHANUMERIC-FIELD that is shown on the screen =
is=3D"     1234567" .
In other words, it's right justified,instead of (it's original value) =
left justified.

    5. Is it posible to show the source-line number and cause of a =
runtime-failure ?

    6. TINY-COBOL permits 3 redefinitions of a same field. Is it posible =
to increase the number of redefinitions ?=20

    7. How can we rebuild(or re-index, whatever) an indexed file ? Or is =
Berkley the proper adress to ask this=20
        question ? If so , where on the WWW can I find such information =
?



That's all for now.
