[Tiny-cobol-users] changes in accept using ncurses/screen section.

[Pam & H. N. <phn...@ve...>]

Hi all,

I have been a firm believer in tc for years and it hasn't failed me 
yet.  I am, however, having a time with changes which went into effect 
between versions .58 and .62/.63

I am accepting data on the screen using ACCEPT ON EXCEPTION.  According 
to what I saw in screenio.c, this means that the data is being accepted 
using the SCREEN mode.  What the problem is, is: if data is displayed on 
the screen at line 1 position 5 and I accept a 14 character variable at 
line 1 position 1, the data located at position is instantly erased.  
Using the same accept commands with tc version .58, the existing data 
stays put until you input NEWdata at its location.

Is there any way to fix this, either by modifying tc or my program??

Thanks for the help
