Can you send me a demo version, please? Thanks

As I was curious I gave APACSRC8 compiling a try: cd APACSRC8/DEBT cobc DEBREST.CBL -I .. -fmax-error=1 ../W50.WS:42: error: larger REDEFINES used ../W50.WS:42: note: size of 'W50-STOCK' larger than size of 'W50-DATA' [-Wdialect] ../FUNCTION.CRT: in section 'CRT-KBD-MOUSE': ../FUNCTION.CRT: in paragraph 'SAVE-ATTRIB': ../FUNCTION.CRT:10: error: invalid RETURNING field The first is auto-solved by using -std=mf (or -std=mf-strict), but for tests I may opt with just -flarger-redefines=ok. All the following...

Hi Simon, The system was written using MF OO. I am making changes to accommodate various library routines, of which I have used many. both Call by name and number. These include calling Windows routines (mouse, cursor and receiving data from a key de-pression) and the various screen handling routines (the most problematic are save and restore data and attributes into memory and changing attributes to highlight portions of data and to create shadows). I also use multiple split keys in most files and...

Can you please specify the details for unique features from MF Cobol that do not compile or give different results in GNU Other than OO COBOL and some stock library routines (which may be added) there is nothing coming to mind that is different with cobc -std=mf-strict.

James Lemmon posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

Hi Jerry, I have compiled some of the programs and am busy resolving the unique features from MF Cobol that do not compile or give different results in GNU. Once completed it will work in both compilers' There has been some delay as I had some problems with my eyes which restricted the time that I was able to work on my PC. should be faster from now on, James Lemmon http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail Virus-free. www.avg.com...

James, Where is the project setting I am curious to know if you have been able to compile with GNU COBOL? If so I want to do a series of GNU COBOL YOUTUBE videos talking about building this project and others with GNU COBOL. Thanks Jerry Farrell

Hi. Am busy moving and have not had time to spend on Getting GnuCobol 2.2 installed on my Windows PC. I should be settled and back on the project in the next week or so. I will also repost the code using the markers.

Pirng @James - Hi. How did your tests with GnuCOBOL 2.2+ and VARIABLE source went? Can you please edit your posts above on SourceForge adding the code markers, allowing the many code lines to be actually read and easily copied?

James Lemmon posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

Hi Simon, Thanks for the info and the amazing turnaround from you guys. Will send more code with more examples with the code markers. I think that the cobolfree would be what I should use, as my code is VARIABLE. I will test some compiles to check the VARIABLE option.

Hi James, I think SOURCEFORMAT VARIABLE works fine with GnuCOBOL 2.2. Do you see any problems there? Can I ask you to edit your post surrounding your code by code markers? ~~~~ ::cobol [code] ~~~~ or ~~~~ ::cobolfree [code] ~~~~ It is much easier to read that way. Note: the missing screenio system library functions will be added in the future, but there is no time table about this. We have someone who looks into the screenio parts now therefore it is more likely to happen "sooner" now.

Hi Simon, Sorry, but my mother has not been well and have been busy with her. Here are some of the differences between Gnu and MF COBOL: There are more, however this will give you an idea of what I am trying to resolve. SOURCEFORMAT "VARIABLE" CALL "CBL_READ_SCR_ATTRS" USING SAVE-POS W42-ATTRIB W41-LENGTH RETURNING WS-STATUS. CALL "CBL_WRITE_SCR_ATTRS" USING SAVE-POS W42-ATTRIB4 W41-LENGTH RETURNING WS-STATUS. CALL "CBL_CLEAR_SCR" USING X"20" X"00" RETURNING WS-STATUS. CALL "CBL_READ_SCR_CHARS" USING...

Am on holiday at the moment so have not been on line for a few days. There are a few screen handling and calls that aqre specific to MF. I will give more details once I am back home.

I would estimate that there will be a version to start working on, not all the modules within about 2 months. On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 8:24 PM, Jerry D.
