A new TC update (0.63.61) is available on SF CVS. Variable length files are now supported for sequential and line-sequential. For sequential files, each record will be prefixed with a 1,2,4 byte unsigned integer or can be user defined when a 'DEPENDING ON identifier-1' FD clause is used. The identifier-1 must be a unsigned integer, with a maximum defined by 9(9) or 9(9)COMP/COMP-5 thus giving a maximum record length of 10e9 - 1. The record length prefix is not defined in the COBOL FD record entries, but is required by non-TC programs. For line-sequential files, no record prefixed is added and trailing blanks are not truncated. Error and warnings have been added to trap programmer errors. Currently, there is no support for SORTs and RELATIVE, INDEXED file organization. Sample programs 'test31[abcd].cob' can be found in the 'test.code/t31' directory. Please forward any comments, bugs to this list. |
