    Mickey regarding the F1 key not working. I use(d) Windows wordpad / write to display the help screens in rich text format (RTF) The problem is Windows 11 no longer provides wordpad and there is no longer any stock MSFT windows component that understands RTF format. I will use WORD to convert the RTF help files into text files so that I can dispatch MSFT notepad. Good grief ! Sorry about that Thank you Mickey !

  • Patrick McCavery Patrick McCavery posted a comment on discussion The Lounge

    Thanks for sharing Mickey. 30h to do this? Wouldn't it have been faster and easier to write a COBOL compiler(source to source) that generates Java text in that time ? Then you could run that on further COBOL code without AI. As a side note, i tried to open a bank account last November. I decided I would not continue the account opening process if there were any significant issues, i would just try at the next bank.. I tried 7 different banks and credit unions and I was not able to open an account...

    Ralph, It is better now that you added the help flag verbiage as to what you are doing. Perhaps before you do several things, edit compile . you have a verbiage window that says what you are going to do, then the steps and help flags as you do now. However, the F1 key does not work for me, and if I am in e or s for edit, F1 is cut. I will watch it again this week end. Thanks Mickey From: discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net discussion@gnucobol.p.re.sourceforge.net On Behalf Of Ralph Linkletter...

    Thanks for the links. Way Back, I worked for a Large overnight package delivery company in Memphis. At one time I worked in the Revenue Credit Card operations and that is where I first learned Unix. We would run several pipe lines to the three top credit card processors 24x7 and used Unix Sockets to do the authorizations. Then we would save the response in a flat file and upload it to the mainframe and do the settlement processes in batch and DB2 tables. My my have times changed!

    That's interesting: it is a video from the official Anthropic channel and it uses GnuCOBOL 3.2 for the reasonable approach to run the same test data through COBOL and the written Java code (if the generated test classes and COBOL test code would not match, then the whole test would be useless and "look correct, but isn't" [older LLMs start to change the expected test result if they can't solve the failing tests if you don't tell them explicit to do so - so watch out for that]. In a real scenario...

    I’ve set up VS Code on my Windows 11 environment and started using Superbol. I’m trying to figure out how to modify tasks.json when using EXEC SQL. Here’s my current setup: ・I have a COBOL source file: SQL_TEST.cob. ・I created a tasks.json file (attached). Currently, I follow these steps manually: Run SQL_TEST.cob through GixSQL to generate SQL_TEST.cbsql. Build the generated SQL_TEST.cbsql. Execute the resulting SQL_TEST.exe to display the output. What I’d like to achieve: ・Simply select SQL_TEST.cob,...

    I'm very happy that my work was useful to you. The purpose of this documentation is precisely to simplify the lives of those interested in getting started with these powerful tools. I'll try to add other useful and important information later, but I wanted to quickly provide the basic and essential information to get started. Thank you for your message. I also invite you to share any other useful information that a GnuCOBOL developer might discover when using these solutions.

    I haven't tried it, but you can probably do it easily. Go to the folder C:\Users...yourname...\AppData\Local\GnuCOBOL where both the compiler and GCSORT were installed and replace everything with the new version. Or rename C:\Users...yourname...\AppData\Local\GnuCOBOL to C:\Users...yourname...\AppData\Local\GnuCOBOL-OLD and create a new folder: C:\Users...yourname...\AppData\Local\GnuCOBOL with the new version of the compiler.

    Gix-IDE has been tested on Windows 7 and 10, but it has not been verified on Windows 11, which makes it unstable. That’s why, when you try to configure things like the DB Manager, the application crashes unexpectedly.

  • Simon Sobisch Simon Sobisch posted a comment on discussion GnuCOBOL

    I guess the issue is about the java/jni parts and you may need to adjust the build recipe/headers? Or about GCC's change to std=gnu23 which you may need to downgrade to CC="gcc -std=gnu17" somewhere? Or is that really about GC with 3.3 complaining about a COBOL part or generating bad code?

    Neat. Is it possible, after the complete installs, to update the GnuCOBOL version to the Nightly Build, or perhaps Chuck's version? And the gcsort to the current version?

  • Simon Sobisch Simon Sobisch posted a comment on discussion Contributions

    Thanks for taking care. Of course I'd highly suggest to replace all occurences of "VS Code" by "vscode" (that is indeed the software's name) and replace 3 as well as its hint in 1 by VSCodium (link is https://vscodium-next.netlify.app/ or the older one https://vscodium.com, see https://vscodium-next.netlify.app/#why) - especially for environments that don't have "Visual Studio Code" (the product which consists of vscode + telemetry + binary only extensions that have different licenses) installed...

    Hello Boris, Thank you very much. I will further investigate the problem(s) and will open a ticket on github. Probably this take some days for me but I will do so. Today I spent some hours to bring debugging run on my Ubuntu 24.04 with VS Code and a fresh self compiled GnuCOBOL from the 3.x-branch (SVN Rev 5593) but without success, too. In the generated tasks.json the SuperBOL macro definitions for debugging etc. are yellowed lined, so debug build will not add -g etc. to the cobc parameter list....

    There's something strange. You may have noticed that your fixes didn't work. Both JSON PARSE and XML PARSE still have typo errors. The word "identified" isn't printed correctly.
