My usual 'trick' is to use multiple spaces in the BEFORE INITIAL clause ... BEFORE INITIAL ' ' or ... BEFORE INITIAL ' ' Tom Morrison Consultant

Here is a logging program. I log to an indexed file to permit logging of non-DISPLAY characters (comp-6 in particular) and to take advantage of data compression available in indexed files. An indexed file can also act as a queue, allowing another program, perhaps running at intervals (e.g...

Not sure if it is a coincidence or not, but this question has just been raised, and answered, in the Micro Focus Community Forum for RM/COBOL. https://community.microfocus.com/t5/RM-COBOL-Forum/Runcobol-redirect-output-to-a-file-on-Windows/td-p/2819036 I will also state again, for debugging...

You can keep the window hidden by setting the 'Main Window Type Property' to Hidden. You can also use the Persistent property when debugging to prevent the window from disappearing at the end of the run unit, removing the need for the ACCEPT. There are some things you can do to get Format 1...

I have a LOT of experience with RM/COBOL.[bigsmile] Use the L option to specify a listing directory. So, to use mikrom last example, L=. produces a listing in the current directory. You may also use the E option to specify an 'error only' listing directory. You may find RM/COBOL...

Is it possible you have a recursive PERFORM? If so, check its termination condition carefully. Not too familiar with Open COBOL error messages. What is at line 748 in MERRILL_MAX_AMOUNTS? Tom Morrison Consultant

I know the guy who wrote the examples. They will help you, and have further references to other resources. Also, there is a wide array of examples outside of the COBOL world (one of my links above refers to w3schools, a tutorial site). XML is XML, so once the data are in XML format, you have...

Gabo, One of the easiest ways to get to more modern looking reports is to use the AcuCOBOL XML Extensions feature. The XML Extensions examples that come with AcuCOBOL demonstrate, among other things, how to use Apache FOP to create output documents, most notably PDF. But once your data is in...

Gabo, welcome to Tek-Tips. Nic asked you, "Can you not modify that process?" This is a question that needs a response. Another question along a similar line, "Do you have the COBOL source for your system?" The answers to these questions have a dramatic effect on the set of possible...

sulutumu, welcome to Tek-Tips. Nic, this is a bit unfair. My experience includes managing the customer support for a COBOL vendor. sulutumu's request would definitely fall outside of product support. If you caught the support person on a less-than-busy day, you might be able to get a few...

Vera Silva, Welcome to Tek-Tips. Most web services will respond with a SOAP fault when the XML being sent to the web service is formatted incorrectly (normally, not a well-formed XML document). The next step for you is to investigate the XML document that is being sent to the web service. A...

What is your planned use in the Windows environment? There are commercially available solutions (in addition to GNU) that might contain a better choice, depending on your use case. Tom Morrison Consultant

Welcome to Tek-Tips. I think this is an application issue. This forum deals with XML technologies themselves, not in applications. I recommend seeking help from the application vendor as I strongly doubt there is anyone in this forum familiar with the application. I gave your XML document a...

PERFORM UNTIL EXIT also requires some statement to exit the perform (EXIT PERFORM or STOP RUN or GO TO). So, if you had an infinite loop problem before, you will still have it with UNTIL EXIT. Tom Morrison Consultant

Try perform until "A" = "B" Tom Morrison Consultant

The IDX files contain index information. If you are interested in recovering the actual data, then you should focus thee DAT files. That said, there are still a bunch off difficulties. The data records are compressed. My recollection is that run length compression is used. Then, some of the...

Here is a FAQ I did a few years ago: faq209-5343 Tom Morrison Consultant

The J in AJAX stands for Javascript. Javascript is the client side. AJAX does not really demand a specific server side technology - other than the ability to respond to a GET/POST of a URL. I would suggest that you use your favorite search engine using the search terms jquery ajax tutorial...
