Hi Everyone
I am trying to use Cobol well outside of it's traditional domain. My interest is in controlling scientific instruments and processing data from them. Open Cobol is easy to use in tandem with C, the only thing is I would like to use the best strategy to create reusable code for others when I write Cobol libraries.... more »

Cobol does enjoy a crowd of experts and the language is attracting attention of young people.
I guess because learning current languages has a steep curve.
However, the lack of good examples (read: source code) or working systems in Cobol will drive them away. It is remarkable that most efforts die in a enthusiastic approach trying to mimic OO design trends, looking for syntactic sugar and such. It is obvious that a background of WHY Cobol, HOW to use Cobol and WHEN to turn to Cobol is missing in educational settings.... more »

Inaccurate math results in Micro Focus Unix

Hi
The following formula gives $5.88/hr in MF cobol V3.2 on Unix which is incorrect.
COMPUTE WS-DOL-HR ROUNDED = WS-DOL-ERN / WS-HRS-WRK
Initial values:
WS-HRS-WRK = .0833333
WS-DOL-ERN = .49
Working storage:
77 WS-HRS-WRK PIC 9(2)V9(6) COMP.
77 WS-DOL-HR PIC 9(2)V9(2) COMP.... more »

Dialect reference manual?

Hi Everyone
I am really-really enjoying Cobol.
A couple of things have slowed me down a bit.
One is the lack of Cobol code on the net.
Sometimes it's just nice to copy and paste snippets to start with but the harder part has been the number of dialects. Of the websites I have found Cobol code on and in the CDs contained in the books I have bought, there are many similar but different dialects.... more »

Hi Gurus,

3. I need to do the same call from C++ - I am getting MCH0802 (number of... more »
