Hi On Fujitsu ond MF Cobol 3.3 Status 35 is file is not present. 3 says permanent error, 5 file not found. Is your path correct ?? This are standard definition on MF and Fujitsu. Goetz Huber

@ all, i am sorry, but it will never work in Power cobol. The compiler replaces TAB characters by 4 or 8 Spaces. Ther compiler option TAB(4) or TAB(8) defines it all. The strating definition of the TAB Option is 4 Spaces to replace. I am sorry, but my old Programm i have used under dos has...

Hi Dimandja, when i read an line.sequential file it is terminated with CR+LF. The compiler stops reading when it gets CR+LF. Example: you have an textfile with 80 Characters + CR+LF you get a length of 80 Characters. If yo will read the file with sequential organization your record must have...

Hi Linew Sequential is defined by CR+LF ended not TAB. I have defined my line sequential file with variable length depending on a variable. Than i unstring the textstring into several fields wirh the delimiter X'09' and it works with several files. i use power cobol an windows 98 and win XP...

Hello Dimandja, i work in germany and use the tab by transferung data between several applications. in the target softwrae, a third party, it is defined that tab is hex 09 so i have never got problems. i thought this information could help. Regards Goetz

I use alternative ; or TAB as an indicator to separate filds with the unstring command. I have defined one PIC X field cald Trennfeld and if i say it is delimited by TAB I move X"09" to it and and unstring the file with the delimiter Trennfeld. It works. regards Goetz

Maybe your harddisk is defect like an dameged sector or something else. Goetz

Hello, my son has loadeed the free cobol 3 compiler one year ago and it has worked on win 98. I myself have an CD and this also works on WIN 98, WIN 2000 and WIN XP. Is there anything missing on your system ?? Goetz

Hello, if you use this with 88 numbers I would like to use an evaluate. It is faster and i think better for structure. But without your code it is qiuiet difficult to answer. Goetz

In DOS COBOL like MF or Fujitsu I can uise the ESCAPE Key to navigate is it possible to use it in Power Cobol 3.0 or higher in Windows.

If you use the example you have to write the command in " when you use long names and aou have spaces in the path. Goetz

Thanks for your answer Dimandja, but it doesn't fix the Problem. When I write in an Textfield it works , when i load the field from a file it fails. I can't understand it. Goetz
