The facility
you have created is a terrific idea that hopefully will allow
access to mysql etc without the need for the heavy training or
use of a DBA in the smaller sites that would like to use
rdbms.
As the test in cobol85 are the NIST suite then we cannot change them and still comply with the US DOD regulations in that a Cobol compiler must pass these test and that means without changes to the code other than what is allowed regarding 'Implementer' variation, etc and that will cover scripts. I would suggest that you examine the scripts and see if they can be adjusted prior to running a given test or series to cover all compliance with a note in the test readme explaining the changes and what is required to make use of these functions, if you intend to offer your changes for use within the SF files system and if so will it have an option within configure to include/exclude (see previous comment)? That way any government agency can use the GNU Cobol compiler as it will pass all of the required mandatory tests. Vincent Coen On 13/12/13 17:50, Joe Robbins wrote:
