Good day all, Any confirmed solution on not having the cursor display on the screen for a real-time clock display, as of now, I too am in the same boat. I have even tried and changed it in 'runtime.cfg' COB_INSERT_MODE TO '0' with no affect on my real-time clock which shows the cursor moving about sporadically between fields to update the time in an infinite loop. Any help or directions to where I should look would be greatly appreciated. Ron A.

Hi Simon, Thank you for clarifying that I could have just created a symlink. And thank you for your patience as I am an old fart getting back into Cobol where I never really had to deal with installing dependencies, building compilers , pre-processors, and setting up environments before, back then we just wrote code, ran and debugged, to get things going. I tested the just symlink to where my binaries are, and works as you have indicated. But the cleaner way is as you have suggested. I've created...

Thank you so much! 🙂 It took a couple of minutes getting acquainted with the GnuCobol directory structure and included configuration files. I think this should be included and mentioned in the "INSTALL" instructions or on the Sample Page of "esqlOCGetStart1"of Esql as an alternative way to set the environment using GnuCobol's included configuration files "runtime.cfg" It would help a lot of future / interested users looking to utilize Esql or GixSQL. Very nice!!! 🙂 Thank you so much. Ron A. From:...

I'm pretty sure I did a "ldconfig", just to check: I did a "ldconfig -p | grep libocsql" to see if the lib was in the cache: jack-daniels@devshed:~/cobol/src$ ldconfig -p | grep libocsql libocsql.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libocsql.so.2 libocsql.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libocsql.so and it successfully locates it. Should I be doing something else? Ron A. From: discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net on behalf of Vincent (Bryan) Coen vcoen@users.sourceforge.net...

Thank you, I will try your suggestions. Just to share, the "ldconfig -p | grep libcosql" shows that "libocsql.so" is readily available and can be found in the ld cache, correctly defining its location: Esql: jack-daniels@devshed:~/cobol/src$ ldconfig -p | grep libocsql libocsql.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libocsql.so.2 libocsql.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libocsql.so GnuCobol: jack-daniels@devshed:~/cobol/src$ ldconfig -p | grep libcob libcob.so.4 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libcob.so.4...

Hi all, Just got a chance to setup an environment to test GnuCobol (v3.1.2) + MariaDB + MariaDB ODBC Connector + ESQL (esqlOC v 3.0). I have this all running on Ubuntu Server 22.04. My problem is as shown below, module "OCSQL" could not be found. I am using the sample source provided above "esqlOCGetStart1" with database credentials changed to be able to connect to the "test" database. jack-daniels@devshed:~/cobol/src$ esqlOC esqlOCGetStart1.cbl esqlOC: ESQL for GnuCOBOL/OpenCOBOL Version 3 (2022.01.03)...
