I'm trying to render operational a cobol program probably written for a
IBM mainframe machine.
After 10*n tries, the open-cobol still rejects the translation P.ex.
"runcoo.cbl:9: error: `txt-acnm' undefined" for the cobol lines
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.
select txt assign to txt-acnm
organization indexed
access dynamic
record txt-key-01.
It is now more than 10 days that i'm trying to translate and correcting
that program.
I should appreciate mainly two yhings:
1) a batch compilor or an interpreter which doesn't eject me after a
single "error"
2) where to find the exact ISO (or ANSI) chart on COBOL85 so at least i
know what terminology is accepted and which one is not allowed and what
each term means; the developpers of open-cobol must have that, otherwise
it's impossible to create a compilor.
3) is it possible for the translater to number the cobol input or output
so as to easyly go to the line in error.
BTW i think that a blank line in a copy statement replacement gives an
error.
Many thanks for your precious time.
