MAT READ Not Implemented

The ECMA-116 choice doesn't follow the standard for strings. It uses MID$ to get characters. The standard uses an substring notation so that to print characters 2 through 4 , you'd do this: A$="THIS IS A TEST" PRINT A$(2:4) HIS Also, the MAT statements are missing. Are there any plans to increase compatibility?

I seem to remember some sample data files that go with GnuCOBOL programs. I have a program with PROGRAM-ID. REPORT-WRITER that I must have downloaded from somewhere but can't remember where.

I'm using precompiled GnuCOBOL 3.2 64-bit on Windows 11. I can compile a program from OpenCOBOL IDE and it runs fine from a Command prompt. When I try to run it from the OpenCOBOL IDE Run command, though, it opens a new copy of OpenCOBOL IDE and tries to edit the .exe file in that instead of opening a terminal and executing the file. I used to be able to run programs but I don't know what changed. I have the Run in external terminal box checked since I use a lot of SCREEN commands. What could be...

Sure make fun of Rene Descartes. No one even remembers the great philosopher Emile DeHors. These days everyone puts Descartes before DeHors.
