PowerCobol. Is anyone using Pervasive Btreive or SQL in your cobol applications? If so, can you give me some feedback how sastified you are with the Pervasive engine. I'm looking for a database engine for small multi-user projects.

DBF files? Do you know what can of data files they are? File extentions can sometimes be misleading..

Does anyone have a solution for finding the Month of the year if you know the Year Number and Week No. Note: The compiler that I'm using does not have many of the new fancy date functions found in newer cobol compilers. I need to be able to calculate this using old fashion logic. I'm using...

Ok, carguy! Need more info on your problem.. 1. What OS's are your workstations using Dos, Win98, etc. 2. Are you running your programs on your workstations and pathing to your server? ie F:\isam or \\server1\c\isam. 3. Are your running any type of Anti-virus programs. If so, disable on...

Tomcat, Nope.. Not yet anyway... But, I will list a few things that might help... Do you have sufficient rights on the netware volume? Does your ODBC driver need to login to your netware volume before it attempts the DB connect? The Pervasive Client engine (ODBC) driver, may not work with...

Need to produce a comma delimited file. Nothing new about this old file type - would just like to get more ideas how other programmers use cobol to produce this file .. Using Realia 4.2 cobol for this project. Thanks for you logic thoughts...

my Realia 4.2 does!

OK, I admit the advice I gave joecobol was in error because I didn't pay any attention to the "SIGN IS LEADING SEPARATE CHARACTER" requirement. (this was important) But let me say this THANE, when you start using the words MUST and REQUIRED - Your answers can also be misleading...

Have you tried this? Just adjust your linage to fit.. You may also need to modify your window settings for your printer. SELECT PRINT-FIL-HD ASSIGN TO VARYING PRNT-HD-NAM FILE STATUS IS PRNT-FIL-HD-STAT. DATA DIVISION. FILE SECTION. FD PRINT-FIL-HD LABEL...

Second thought,,, Write it out as -12345 No need for the decimal, unless the programmer on the other end doesn't care. The PIC string will handle this also.

Just write the number out as -123.45. No need to pad with zeros etc. Cobol will do the rest..... Have a good day, RASI

Why?

Dave41, If your using Ca-Realia, the problem is the default file format type in your compiler options. I would suspect other compilers use the same format types also. To prevent the hidden tabs in your output, just define your file with the File Format that you would like to use... A crude...

Tomcat, My current applications only deal with Foxpro Databases using ODBC and just plain Cobol Index Files using native record locking calls. I have spent many research hours trying to select a company/database provider and Pervasive SQL seems to be the way to go. Their workstation options...

Tomcat, Most OCX controls that are designed for Visual Basic seem to work well with PCobol. Most Vendors don't advertise this fact yet, because they are normally "blown away" if you call them and state that your using COBOl to drive their controls!! We use CommX from Greenleaf...

Crox, I will post this info later this week. There were many factors involved.. The main factor was this... 1. CA which makes Ca-Realia didn't seem very eager to provide the cobol world with a true 32 bit GUI compiler and development system at the time we needed it. Hot shots like...

Tomcat, Thanks for the reply. Thought maybe I was the only one on this board using PCobol V5. Our current system is written in Realia V4.2 also. As you know, Realia has some really neat features that I have learned to use over the years. Have found it very interesting trying to use PCobol to...

Chimota, I have a few question for you. 1. Does your sample data dictionary represent a cobol data file? ie.. Do you have a cobol file and also the layout of it as Greenguy71 posted. 2. Do you know the cobol file type. Sequential, Index etc. Data Junction can read many different types of...

Does your cobol compiler support ActiveX controls?

Ca-Realia 4.2 does this also. I could email you some live working programs for clarity sake. request from rickj@intrstar.net.. Thanks, RASI
