This has been very helpful, thank you.

I see, well glad I could point out a bug haha. I think the real issue I am having is that typing into an accept stalls its timeout drastically or even indefinitely. Also this may be a rather stupid question, but how do I go about getting GC 3.2? Thanks as always.

I see, I was not aware of this, thank you. However it is plain to see simply by running that the program isn't timing out after 1/1000 seconds, in fact I'm not sure I see a real difference between timescale 1 and timescale 3, perhaps because of what was mentioned above? "Note: the minimum and possible maximum value depend on the screenio library used" Not exactly sure but having a higher input rate would be phenomenal. Thanks again

Thank you both so much, the method of using "ACCEPT TIME-OUT AFTER" coupled with the change time out scale will likely work perfectly. It does not seem like I am able to get it to time out in 1 millisecond after setting the scale to "3", if there is any remedy to this I would appreciate it but this will likely work just fine, here is the code I have been using to test it, using this code I can determine that it is within the same 100th of a second which should be good enough regardless.

As a beginner project in cobol, I was hoping to make a console based game, however I have not been able to find a working code example which would allow me to get keystrokes in real time using cobol. Is such a thing possible? If so could a code example be provided please? Thanks for any help.

And thanks again for all the help, I figured I might as well post the final program that with your help, returns the right values. Thanks again. identification division. program-id. fibonacci. data division. working-storage section. 01 ws-numb-to-solve PIC 9(10). 01 ws-solution PIC 9(10). procedure division. display "What index of the fibonacci sequence would you like to " "find?". accept ws-numb-to-solve. call "recsolve" using by reference ws-numb-to-solve ws-solution. display ws-solution.

Thanks so much for all the clarification. This has been a huge help. If I may ask a few final questions, it would be, first, what scenario is the use of RETURNING advisable if not in this case? And second, how can I update my compiler on my machines so they are both running the same version. Thanks again.
