I have been puzzled with this for a while as I work on and off on a project, I want to have the ability to hit a button, have it change a value and to make changes to the forms. The closest option I have found is requery but it reloads the entire set of records and I don't want it changing the...

Cobol is dead in the sense that its a language that you won't see new applications, games, etc programmed in COBOL.. However with larger companies, their entire systems are usually coded in COBOL and have had them in that language for decades and its way too expensive to upgrade to another...

If you have already printed something to file, why not just open it with a text editor and print it ?? If you are asking to take an output file which was written to disk and use it as input, that is most likely impossible depending on how the output is. Chris Green Computer Information Systems...

One solution there might define a seperate file, and then put in a WRITE command which copies the entire disk output file to a seperate printer output file... Will allow you to do what you desire within the code itself instead of relaying on a printer utility Chris Green Computer Information...

In simpler terms, you use an implied decimal place in an input file (or other file you read from) I.E If the data for a field is supposed to be 18.99 if you didn't put the assumed decimial place it would read it as 1899. However when you are going to be displaying the decimal point (on a...

The REDEFINES allows you to provide a redefinition of a name, redefinition of the PIC clause for the name or both. 05 ONE-TYPE-DATA PIC 9(5). 05 TWO-TYPE-DATA REDEFINES ONE-TYPE-DATA PIC 9(4). 05 ONE-NAME PIC X(3). 05 TWO-NAME REDEFINES ONE-NAME. Note that the second example doesn't redefine...

Most likely the filenames are mispelled, also for compatability sake you might want to shorten the names so they are fine under standard DOS conventions (otherwise, 8 character names and 3 character file type). BTW nice program layout for somebody in an intro class, I took my intro COBOL class...

Actually in the COBOL class I take, its REQUIRED we create both the pseudocode and the printer spacing chart for each assignment (the spacing chart helps me out alot actually), but I'm not sure where you could find them on-line (if worse comes to worse, I could try and scan it in.. however its...

Yep I finally understood it after asking a teacher about it, it just seemed to me that some kind of additional functions or verbs were neccesary to invoke the other fields... Chris Green Computer Information Systems Student Cayuga Community College -- Fulton

I'm creating a program which uses the REDEFINES clause in both the input and output sections of the program, where the field size changes depending on the REDEFINES.. Only problem is I am a bit ahead of the class lectures and haven't figured out how to set it in the program so it knows which to...

I had to do conditional breaks in my first COBOL class... and in all of my programs since then (the usual being a page check), but also to do sub-totals, etc, etc..

I have no idea how to read in more then one record but my guess would be it would have something to do with using the userid as the primary key.. probably not alot of help..
