    New COBOL Programming Course!

    Maybe it is me, but the talking was so fast, and heavily accented, I wouldn't use it. Nice to see COBOL is still in use. The last time I coded in it was about twenty-five years ago.

    Sad

    I'm still here but I do not like the new layout. After I found "Languages" I continue to visit.

    LE COBOL

    I have been off the IBM mainframe for a couple decades but we used to read what was called a "dump" and a S0C7 was rudimentary. Has that gone by the wayside? Maybe that was just for mainframes.

    Check of valute change in text file

    Maybe: Do while Myvar = "1111

    SPF / ISPF / PDF / SPF365 / etc. ALL about editing on mainframe and PC with mainframe look-alike

    It has been about thirty years since I used ISPF. I used to write ISPF dialogs, if they still exist, and modified many of the native screens to my liking. Then I'd reallocate the TSO batch session libraries to point at my modified versions. I had all that stuff backed up on those 3.5 disks...

    Start in Sub Main()

    Properties, Application, uncheck "Enable Application Framework", and Form start up will change to object startup.

    0.E0 ???

    I asked Bing: In COBOL, 0.E0 is a numeric literal that represents the value of 0.0 in scientific notation 1. Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering...

    Legacy VB6 program

    I don't remember the exact situation but I remember we had to add a reference to "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 6.0 BackCompat Library" when we upgraded Windows.

    Is "IF EXISTS()..." better than "IF (SELECT COUNT...) > 0"

    You should use IF EXISTS instead of SELECT COUNT(*) when checking only for the existence of any matching data values and when determining the number of matching rows is not required. IF EXISTS stops the processing of the select query as soon as the first matching row is found, whereas SELECT...

    Windows Forms Initial Size of Displayed Froms

    I would think ideally you would leave it up to the user to resize as they see fit. So make sure at it's smallest you can still view it and the same when it is at the largest.

    select no. of rows from a table.

    I've been off the mainframe for close to twenty years now. Switched to Windows a year or two after Y2K. And I'm not nostalgic.

    select no. of rows from a table.

    ISPF table? Is there such a thing? It has been about fifteen years or so since I was on an IBM mainframe but back then it was just a graphical interface. I get your point - I just haven't heard of ISPF in a long time. I wrote a Clist application and a COBOL application using it.

    as if loading the listview twice

    Are you using the Form's name when referring to it from inside the form. That could kick off initialize I think.
