Can I display a .jpg file from a MF cobol application

[neerajy]

Dear friends

Let me correct my query.

I want to display an Image ( .jpg file ) from a MF cobol application. Is it possible from cobol or I need to call java/c++ program to carry out the required results.

I know java but I don't know anything about cobol.

If somebody can suggest me any basic COBOL tutorial would be great for me.

Thanks,
Neeraj

I found Teach Yourself COBOL in 21 Days
by Mo Budlong published by Sams to be excellent. If you buy it new, it comes with a Microfocus COBOL compiler.

Respected friend,

use programming OOP.

you can have illustrations jpg, gifs, banners, etc... in GUI Cobol.
you can also record those illustrations in native files Cobol (idx format) as if they were fields databases BOB. we already made here that.

respectfully

methods:

1) build a html file and activate it with a start command
2) use a start command for to activate the JPG
3) use an exec to activate the program you want to use to display the jpg
etc.
