[open-cobol-list] OC compiled for 64 bit?

[Vincent Coen]

Hi;

 

Hoping someone can help me

 

I have compiled OC on my x64 Linux system but pretty sure it is not compiling as x64 nor the applications.

 

So I have a few questions I need solving:

 

1. How do you build OC for x64?

2. How do you build your apps for x64?

3. What issues will arise by doing 1 and 2, e.g.;

What data fields change in size causing file compatibility problems?

What other issues rear their ugly head?

 

On another note: Compiled some appl that write to the printer which is assigned as org line sequential and found it printing every other line, i.e., leaving a blank line after each line being printed and the solution was to remove the organisation sub-clause however this should NOT be required.

 

Anyone know why this is happening?
