Thanks Brian

I entered the following to verion check the GNU Cobol installed on my laptop. /usr/bin/cobc -x -v hello.cob preprocessing hello.cob into /tmp/cob8806_0.cob translating /tmp/cob8806_0.cob into /tmp/cob8806_0.c gcc -pipe -c -Wno-unused -fsigned-char -Wno-pointer-sign -o /tmp/cob8806_0.o /tmp/cob8806_0.c gcc -pipe -Wl,--export-dynamic -o hello /tmp/cob8806_0.o -L/usr/lib -lcob -lm -lgmp -lncurses -ldb -ldl Did not get a version number. How should I check for version number?

Get this "Warning: Line not terminated by a newline". Does this mean the syntax for new line needs to be added to the code before or after line 1? just what does it mean? For simple hello world with first line being "Identification Division." using cobc -x, to create executible code.
