John Grillot posted a comment on discussion GnuCOBOL
I totally understand the value of a passing fun-time project. Thanks for the interesting history lesson. -----Original Message----- From: discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net On Behalf Of John Ritter Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2024 8:03 PM To: [gnucobol:discussion] cobol@discussion.gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net Subject: [gnucobol:discussion] tandy rmcobol I wouldn't mind a show and tell.

John, What cobol software were you able to compile? Was it the Tandy accounting system? I used multiplan on the TRS 6000 & Model4p back in the 80s. The menu is activated with the / key. If I recall correctly it was written by Microsoft way before Excel. -----Original Message----- From: discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net On Behalf Of John Ritter Sent: Friday, May 10, 2024 2:25 PM To: [gnucobol:discussion] cobol@discussion.gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net...

I have a gnu Colbol 3.2 environments on Linux & Windows 10. I try can compile a program on the Linux side error free.

Michael, Thanks for the update. I did download COBOLSEQ.COB. I will update the copybooks and compile. I will test. I will also check out QWKFIX-TEST.COB too.

I'm using visual studio code for COBOL development. I'm aware there are COCOL extensions in the market place. I installed the extension for gnuCOBOL. I'm hoping there is a way to merge copybook code into the source program that referenes it. I have a folder open with all the source code for my project. It would be handy if I could simply hihlight the name of the copy book and goto the defition but that doesn't work. Is there a way to do this other than opening it from the explorer?

some IDEs for other languages have a feature that will indent the code to a standard. Of course the proper thing to do is learn and do it yourself. It is a helpful way to learn too.

Still learning COBOL. I'm using visual studio code and a few extensions for COBOL. I did not find an extension that reformats the code. Code blocks editor has options for formatting C & Java. Is there a COBOL formatter available?

That RS-Cobol manual is for the model 4. I have been doing my testing on the model 16 which can run XENIX and TRSDOS.

Hi, It's good to know I have a fellow programmer in the COBOL & business software field on discord. I shared several files for you here https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZ1ywaVZveGBi7dRHimYNKUj66ksJpQHUn9y Oe.tar is all the work I did to get the source code from the IMD files found in the archive into a format the TRS XENIX cobol compiler needs.

Hi Vincent, Now that I've been able to get cobol 3.x installed and the non rdbms complied and installed. I'd like to see if we can get the rdbms for mysql compiled. I'm not sure if you have your software ready for this and I need to read the instructions better or if your instructions won't work in my environment. So either I need to change my system config to match yours or I could help you test how to get your software setup so it will compile in my configuration which other may have similar to...

Hi Vicent, I was able to get v3.x of the cobol compiler. I also updated to your most recent code. from the directory /home/john/acas-code, I eceuted this command bash comp-all.sh > build.log 2>build.err I got the following compile errors. I've attached the error log.

does the v3.x fully implement the report writer featues? I was under the impression that 2.x did not but may be in 3.x

I really don't need the source. I need ver 3.x runtime so I can compile the ACAS software. How do I obtain this?

I looked at trunk 2445 & 2448 and the install instructions say to do ./configure but that file doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Vincent, I did step 1 A& B and it downloaded a file open-cobol-code-2448-trunk.zip. But on the tar command it says gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored.

I forgot to tell you. I fillout each of the setup screens but after I finish those it just puts me back to the setup screens when I run ACAS again.

OK I did that and got past that problem.Then I went into system setup. I got address error on line 1. I couldn't figure out how to exit that screen. So ended up having to control -C.

This makes a lot of sense about the delimiter. Thanks.

I'm curious about why you chose to use the address details delimiter character approach as opposed to having separate fields for city & state? Thanks, John

I got this working by doing your suggestions - thank you

I guess I figured this out. apparently the address fieldie has to be entered like this dayton\oh\45432. Now the cursor stops at the * Escape Code [ ] * field
-
I'm curious if your accounting system source code uses the cobol report writer. Gnucobol 2 rc3 doesn't implement the report writer. There is a report writer version of gnucobol but it's not an official release yet. How do you code your reports? What release of gnucobol do YOU use to compile ACAS? Thanks, John

I attached a screen shot of the customer setup. The cursor never stops at the * Escape Code [ ] * field
-
Also if you use this method for multiple versions that won't work with ocide. If I want to use ocide wouldn't I have to do a make install each time I want to use a different version, correct?
-
the use-cobol command has to be added to the bashrc as per the faq, correct?

Your right I unpacked (not install) the gnu-cobol-2.0 (non-rw) there. I did do the sudo make install. Here is what COB_CONFIG_DIR is set to /usr/local/share/gnucobol/config. I dont see a gnucobol direcory in /usr/local. My /usr/local/bin has cobc, cobcrun and various db executeables. Is that the way it should be?
-
Originally, I installed the non rw version to /home/john/cobol/gnu-cobol-2.0. Do I need to install the rw version to /home/john/cobol/gnu-cobol-rw? Also after looking at configure --help I'm not sure what to do to set a different install directory. Sorry for my ignorance.

thank you Simon

How do I obtain the version of gnuCobol that supports Report write?. This is for Linux.

Hi, I just discovered your ACAS on sorceforge. I downloaded the acas-3.01.07.tar.gz. I compiled and installed it successfully.

This worked and it recognized open-cobol-2.0-rc3.0 automatically. Thanks Simon :-)

Do you know how to install verion 4.7.6 on Ubuntu (or simliar debian Lixux). When I install it via apt-get or the software center , it installs version 2.x. I found a site that has a tar file but when I extract it there is not a ./configue in the top level directory.

Which is better to use, Open Colbol IDE or HackEdit with the COBOL plugins ?

On a different ubuntu 14.04 LTS VM, with 2.0-rc3 I was able to compile GCic and yes my screen looks like the one you attached. I guess I'll try purging and reinstalling open-cobol on my other VM and see it it work. Thanks, John
-
Unusual. using apt-get, I purged open-cobol then installed open-cobol. then cobc -V returned the version showed 2.0-rc3.0. I was able to compile GCic.

By the way, I did have version 1.x installed previously.

I am working on a diferrent unbuntu VM. I tried to install the gnu cobol 2.0 like I did a few days ago on another VM (that I eventually got working).

I did a svn update as brian suggested. Then I did ./configure ./make ./make install the version shows cobc (GnuCOBOL) 2.0-rc3.0 But still get those errors trying to compile GCic
-
And then do I need to do the confugure, make, make install all over again?
-
Brian, first of all, thanks so much for all the help you have provided. I'm sorry for my ignorance. Can you explain how to snag that? I originally got it from this command svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/open-cobol/code/branches/gnu-cobol-2.0 Do I use the same command?
-
I'm new to this sourceforge / git hub way of doing things. The way I got the GCci in the first place was a link Arnold Trembly emailed to me. How do I get the update you just made. I assume I wouldn't use the same link. Can you explain? Thanks.

I have a program that reads a text file with sales in it and keep a total of those sales. I have two issues I need help with 1) The total is wrong. If I sum the numbers in Excel it is $ 26,632,283.97 it doesn't equal the total output by the cobol program $020,332,283.97. 2) I put some display statements in the code for debugging. There are 2050 records in this text file but it the program displays it read 2052 records. I wonder why the AT END didn't trigger at 2050. I attached the code and my test...
