Re: [open-cobol-list] Skipping over labels in SCREEN SECTION.

Hi Patrick;

I am trying to learn more about the screen section too and your ACAs project could really help.

I don't seem to be able to install it though. I am on a 64 bit system, could this be an issue?

No, I have it installed on a x64 system as well.

I am assuming you got it from sourceforge?

.. and you have installed Open Cobol v1.1 or later ?

Now I have just done the same and it works, so run these steps in a terminal:

mkdir cobolsrc

cd cobolsrc

 

tar xfvz pathto/acas-3.00.02.tar.gz

cd ACAS/

 

using my current version of the bash scripts attached to this msg that you saved to the ACAS directory run:

unzip acas-addendum-1.zip

 

you will get this from unzip:

replace comp-all.sh? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:

 

so respond with A

Now you have all of my current scripts.

 

./comp-all.sh

and you should get this:

./comp-all.sh

irs done

common done

general done

purchase done

sales done

stock done

We Are all done but check for any error or warning messages

 

Now all you have to do to install the system is run:

 

install-ACAS.sh

install-irs.sh

 

The scripts have created various directories under your user so you can go to the one for ACAS by cd ~/ACAS

 

and run say sales by just typing that name eg sales and away you go.

 

 

 

Most of the errors I get are related to missing files. I have some of them posted at the end of this email.

None of these errors should occur.

Are these missing files supposed to be generated by each company using ACAS? Are they basically the input to the project?

All files needed will be created by the system as you run it and the first is the system parameter file. If you also wish to play with irs the data files are in another directory called /home/your-user-name/irs

that you can see if you do ls ~

 

comp-all.sh: line 13: ./comp-gl.sh: No such file or directory
comp-all.sh: line 15: ./comp-purchase.sh: No such file or directory
comp-all.sh: line 17: ./comp-sales.sh: No such file or directory
comp-all.sh: line 19: ./comp-stock.sh: No such file or directory
We Are all done but check for any error or warning messages

This lot seems to indicate that you have not extracted the files & directory trees correctly using tar, you must use 'tar xfvz filename'

Any problems let me know. At the moment I am rewriting the manuals for Sales & Purchase Ledger as they are seriously out of date and then I will refresh sourceforge and my website with the current versions of ACAS which fixes some bugs and provides extra facilities
