[Tiny-cobol-users] Section and printing

[Larry J. <lju...@sb...>]

Greetings to all. I tested OC and TC a couple of years ago but gave up because some of the batch programs where just to large to compile and there was the issue of talking to a windows printer.

Have remained on the list all this time and read with interest what various people are trying to accomplish. So maybe some changes have been made that might get me back to testing once again.

The programs where all written in Micro Focus Cobol and several of the programs performed edits and file updates. Due to there size the programs where broken up into SECTIONS. Is this now supported?

The other issue I had was the printer side. Would like to have a way to set the document name, port, and copies.  In the old batch system a print spooler was used and that allowed for report name, copies, hold Y/N and a few other parameters before the Cobol program was run. With windows the way it is today and a print spooler (the two I know of) can not coexist together and function.
Has the print side been addressed or is there a work around?

Would love to convert this to run on Linux but that's another issue.

Thanks in advance
