dialect option: use of integer-functions per IBM

If you use GnuCOBOL 4 then I'd highly suggest the following: if you can update to a recent GC4 (it is still "early dev" - works good in most places but each update may need a recompile of every program) -> do so; the end of 2025 version has nearly everything from GnuCOBOL3 in, including the improved listings and bunch of fixes and new features if you can't update: consider a downgrade to 3.2 or 3.3-dev For the listing options: start with "-T your.lst -Xref" (and know that you can tweak nearly everything...

Hi Aretwo and nice to "see" you with the note that cobc already works well for you for years - it is never too late to join the community :-) cobc actually says something different: it tries to compile something called "Hello" and something that is called "Fixelo.cob" with Hello containing binary data (a newer version of cobc is most likely already better to recognize the later). The reason for compiling the binary is rooted in COPY Hello. So what most likely happened is the following: a layout of...

If you are learning then I highly recommend to go through the worldcities example (step by step extension of a program with needs and coding similar to tasks in production) and if anything is unclear while doing so (you'll highly benefit from the "step by step" approach) check the Programmer's Guide next to it.
