HI. I have a user testing COBOL program and upon execution they are getting an error because the runtime cannot find the file libcob.4.dynlib. See attached screenshot. Can anyone advise. I don't have access to his Mac so i'll need to troubleshoot remotly so any guidance will be great. Thank you!
-
Yeah, i'm OK with the space. Once I've removed the "/" I append some more text to the URL. In fact i'm running a Python script from COBOL, the script uses a URL as an input, then I redirect the output of the script to a file, that the COBOL program picks up and processes. So the final thing looks a little like: myPythonScript.py https://www.example.com/robots.txt >> temp.file I call that using SYSTEM. The URLs come from a supplied text file, sometimes they end in "/" and sometimes not. So I parse...
-
RESOLVED. So I removed the https://www. using SUBSTITUTE then replaced all remaining "/" with spaces, again using SUBSTITUTE.
-
Good point. My bad. The string is a URL so it contains multiple /'s https://www.example.com/ I should have mentioned that.
-
Hi folks, I can't figure this one out. As the title suggests. I have a string, if the last character of the string is a "/" then I want to remove it. Can anyone suggest how I can do this? Many thanks for any help and advice.
-
Thank you Eugenio ! That worked.
-
I have a pic 9(9) and I don't want to see a prompt of 000000000 on ACCEPT. How can I change that?
-
Thank you Simon, i'll give those ideas a go.
-
Hello, I have an ACCEPT of a PIC X(1) field, I don't want the cursor to be displayed when the user is promoted to respond to the ACCEPT statement. How can I do that?
-
the what now? I didn't know about CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST. Thank you!
-
In my code I’m doing the following to identify is a file exists (on a Mac) IF OS-IDENTIFIED = "MACOS" MOVE "ls /usr/local/bin/chromedriver > bot.check" TO SYSTEM-COMMAND END-IF. ... ... CALL "SYSTEM" USING SYSTEM-COMMAND. Then I read the bot.check file to determine if the file chromedriver was found. This works fine. But when I exit the program (back to the OS) I see the error message resulting from the ls command when the file was not found: ls: /usr/local/bin/chromedriver: No such file or directory...
-
Thank you Simon. Concerning COB_EXIT_WAIT. As the message is 'any key', I kinda expected that I could press any key :) but if I understand it's exception keys only. Anyway thanks to COB_EXIT_MSG I can tune the message accordingly.
-
Hello folks, i've been away on vacation :) Have to say it's amazing what you guys have done and super impressive that this discussion has been going for quite some time! What a super community!
-
Hello folks, Two Questions: In my program I use SET ENVIRONMENT "COB_EXIT_WAIT" TO "1". Upon exiting the program I get the prompt End of Program, press a key to exit. The program only terminates when I press Enter or Escape, any other key does not have any effect. Any ideas? How can I change that exit message? Thank you!! PS if it makes any difference I also set: SET ENVIRONMENT "COB_SCREEN_ESC" TO "1". SET ENVIRONMENT "COB_SCREEN_EXCEPTIONS" TO "1".

hello michael yes ive been using IFALIGN on both legacy cofe and on some new code ive written in the last year or two. its worked perfectly for me. as we all know beautiful code is more important than working code :) ... of course thats a joke, but IFALIGN certanly made my coding and debugging easier. i can't thank you enough. I wrote some code just last week and ended up having to deploy IFALIGN too! I can't believe how much great discussion and action my question has resulted in. This little community...

Michael, I tried COBOLSEQ today (apologies for the delay work and family have been taking my time of late. It seemed to work to a point. Then I get these errors: ERROR 5001 Name too long on line number=5009 500900 IF KEY-GROUP-SAVED-STAGING(GROUP-INDEX) NOT = SPACES ERROR 5001 Name too long on line number=5010 501000 MOVE KEY-GROUP-SAVED-STAGING(GROUP-INDEX) TO ERROR 5001 Name too long on line number=5011 501100 GROUP-KEYS-INSTANCE(GROUP-INDEX) ERROR 5001 Name too long on line number=5022 502200...
-
Hello Michael, See my note re COBOLSEQ below. My personal preference is to use A01-PARA1, A01-PARA2, B01-PARA1 and so on as my paragraph naming convention. I then put the different types of functionality in each paragraph type, i.e. I might put common use sections for data manipulation in A01, display of screens in B01, general purpose code in C01 etc.
-
Got it. Thank you. In that case maybe a switch to prevent the user having to press a key each time the error is displayed would help. The test program I am using to test COBOLSEQ is 15K lines and have 100s of these :)
-
Good Day Arnold! I just tried beautify. One issue: I got the message: BEAUTIFY-9999 TABLE OF PROGRAM LINES EXCEEDED. I checked the code and it seems 300-MAXIMUM-PL is +10,000. My test program has 15k lines. I increased that and got: bus error (signal SIGBUS) libcob: warning: implicit CLOSE of SYS201-PRINT-FILE (‘output.cob') libcob: warning: implicit CLOSE of SYS001-COBOL-FILE (‘input.cob')
-
Hello Arnold, Thank you. I updated that and tested on a program of 15k lines. Before Beautify my program was 14,829 lines, now its 16,991 lines (+2,162). I’m feeling very productive today :) Comments. You place all comments in asterisk boxes. I can certainly see why you do that. For me it’s not too helpful because I manually include comment in asterisk boxes at the start of each paragraph in order to advise what that paragraph is used for. I also have other comments in the code. If Beautify adds...
-
Perhaps a long shot but is anyone aware of a program that is used to beautify COBOL source code? I have some source that's difficult to read because it's all over the place with mis aligned IF/END-IF statement etc. Many thanks!
-
Thank you Arnold, i'll take a look. If it requires significant changes to work on GNUcobol, I may not have the time for that. But thanks!
-
I also did this and got a clean compile. When I tested the program it ran but the output was somewhat messed up. As in it seems that a number of the code lines were concatenated with the following line. After a clean compile i'm sure this is pretty close to working but sadly I don'y have the time at the moment to debug.
-
Thanks Michael, that could also help. Will take a look. Cheers!
-
Any chance I can get a copy of this now that's it's working with GNUCobol. I'd love to test it out. :)
-
Hi Michael, not yet sadly. Just not the time at the moment, will attempt to have a look this week.
-
This is great Michael, thank you, i've just used it and IFALIGN seems to have worked fine on a 15k line program i've been working on. Complies clean too :) What a great community here!
-
Hi Michael. It does seem to work fine and I still get a clean compile! :) Thank you. I do see a bunch of these however: ERROR 1031 Procedure name exceeds 31 characters EXIT-B01-PREPROCESS-SITEURLS-FILE. Any specific reason for limiting paragraph names to 31 chars?
-
Hi Michael thank you ill take a look later this week. Im very happy to see how folls have responded to my humble question, the work you, Michael, Vincent and Arnold have done is nothing short of amazing thank you all.
-
well i learned something today. Thank you Vincent.

Hello, I’d like to write a tool to convert COBOL source code to/from upper/lower case, would that be of any use to anyone? In short, any text not included in quotes will be converted to the chosen case. Assumptions: I’d assume a maximum charter length for each line (what should that be?) … that’s pretty much it, anything else I need to think of?
-
Hello, A contribution from me. Here is v.1 of upperlower. It’s a small tool I wrote used to convert COBOL source code from upper to lower or lower to upper case. Disclaimers first folks. I know that all of you are VERY skilled and experienced COBOL programmers. I know enough to be dangerous :) I’m certain that my code probably breaks all of your rules and regulations. Apologies for that. Having said that, it seems to work. Any feedback and flames welcome. See the comments in the source for usage...
-
Thank you Simon.
-
Michael, i'll also check out case conversion in COBOLSEQ. I did enjoy writing my upperlower tool, so nothing lost :) Thank you! EDIT: and when I say 'enjoy', i'm currently enjoying a chilled Rosé, in the garden, in Burgundy, France.... writing COBOL code. So all's good :) - attached
-
BTW I assumed that uppercase is generally the preference. I see plenty of HTML, JS and Python in my day job so I thought i'd try and go lower case for my COBOL programming.
-
Good-day Michael, I've never really thought about the IF indentation. If I were to guess, I do it because I tend to use quite long variables names, if I only have 73 characters for each line, i'm gonna use that pretty quickly. Thank you for you comments sir!
-
I'm keen to know when the next meetup will be.

Hi Michael, not yet sadly. Just not the time at the moment, will attempt to have a look this week.

Thank you! This works fine when I set COB_SCREEN_ESC="yes" and COB_SCREEN_EXCEPTIONS="yes" in my start script. I thought I should be able to set the environment variables using call "SYSTEM" too, but that does not seem to work for me. Am I mistaken. I'm doing the following: IF OS-IDENTIFIED = "MACOS" MOVE 'export COB_SCREEN_ESC="yes"' TO SYSTEM-COMMAND CALL "SYSTEM" USING SYSTEM-COMMAND MOVE 'COB_SCREEN_EXCEPTIONS="yes"' TO SYSTEM-COMMAND CALL "SYSTEM" USING SYSTEM-COMMAND END-IF.

Hello, I was wondering what kinds of projects you are all working on with GnuCOBOL. I'll offer mine up. I think it's slightly unusual. I've developed a program that takes a list of URLs from a web site. That list could contain 1000 or millions of URLs. My program processes this list and generates Regular Expression (regex) code which is then copy/pasted in to a SEO tool (Search Engine Optimization - a tool used to help brands improve their performance in web search and drive more paying organic traffic...

Yes that right: PROCEDURE DIVISION CHAINING CHAIN-EXECUTION-MODE CHAIN-PERFORMANCE-MODE CHAIN-PERFORMANCE-INTERVAL. I use this to pass command line arguments to the program in order to excute certain features in the program. I'd rather not use COB_INSERT_MODE because I don't want to mess with env variables. I just want the users to download just the binary and use it.
-
in fact the program is not being called its a stand alone program , it does accept command line parameteres though.
-
That would be great but I get the compile error: error: BY VALUE not allowed in CHAINED programs Any workaround to this??

Hello, I have a screen that has a lot of real time updates, I don't like to see the cursor skipping arround the unterface. If there any way to display but not show the cursor? If it makes any difference the program is running on Mac OSX and Windows. Thanks for any advice!

Thank you Emmad, that's a pretty smart solution! I like your thinking!
-
Thank you for the suggestions. I'm interested to learn why the COBOL standard for INSPECT included FIRST but not LAST. Anyhoo, it is what is is. Thanks again everyone.
-
Hello, Good-day! I'm working with the INSPECT statement today. And I have a question I can't figure out. I have a my_field pic x(256) value "/text/" So we can do this: INSPECT my_field REPLACING FIRST "/" BY " " Which would give me " text/" (with a leading space) But how do I replace the LAST "/" in order to get "/text "? I mistakenly thought there would be a LAST or FINAL directive, but I’m wrong. Any ideas?
-
Hello! I have a problem using the INSPECT statement that I can’t figure out. … INSPECT field_name TALLYING STRING-COUNTER FOR ALL field_string Where field_name is pic x(256) and field_string is x(256) The value of field_name is www.shoes.com/redshoes/size42 The value of field_string is /redshoes/ STRING-COUNTER is always zero. What’s going wrong here?
-
Super, Thank you!
-
Hello folks, So I have: INSPECT MYSTRING-SRT TALLYING STRING-COUNTER FOR ALL """ Which of course does not compile, I want to test if there is a quotation symbol (") in MYSTRING. How can I do that? Thank you!

Thats the one. Thanks Jose!

Thanks the one. Thaks Jose!

Hello folks, i'm back on the COBOL train after a few months of another project. I'm feeling rusty. Please help. I have this entry in a CSV. I want to extract the number 19 and store it as an integer in a file. What's the best way to do this??? https://www.site.com/brands/shoes,19 Thank you for your help! :) Happy to be back in COBOL for a while.

Thanks Simon, that was it. The user set up the required env. variables... except for updating the PATH correctly.

Hello I have a user on Windows 10. He just got a new machine with Windows 10 so he reinstalled as per my instructions but gets Unable to find lib cob-4.dll when he tries to run my .exe file. Everything worked fine on his previous windows 10 machine. I've asked him to redownload the install package from Mr. trembley's site and try again. In the meantime , any ideas what's wrong? Many thanks

hello does anyone know of an open source text file viewer written in COBOL (ideally gnuCOBOL obvs) that i can download and use My needs are simple i would like to call the text viewer from a gnuCOBOL program and pass it the file name to view. im really just looking for the ability to page through a text file, a search function would be super but not mandatory. Ive searched arround for such a program but no luck so far. thanks for any tips!
-
Thank you. Understood. I'm good with v2.2.0 for the time being. It's fine for my needs.
