Hi AgainYou could also use the unicode subsection that creates geometric shapes for your radio button on/off positions.
They are mostly U25XX Here is a list: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/geometric_shapes/list.htmI know we don't have unicode support in the main releases but I bet all will be good if enough space is allocated for each unicode character.
Here is a simple program to show the two geometric shapes and validates their byte consumption :
>>source format is free identification division . program-id. unicode-blocks . data division . working-storage section . 01 bulls-eye pic x(3) value is '◎' . 01 circle-with-fill pic x(3) value is '◍' . 01 wait-for-key pic 9 . procedure division . display 'bulls-eye ◎ takes ' line 5 column 10 . display function byte-length ( '◎' ) with no advancing. display ' bytes' . display 'circle-with-fill ◍ takes ' line 10 column 10 . display function byte-length ( '◍' ) with no advancing. display ' bytes' . accept wait-for-key . goback . end program unicode-blocks .Just a reminder, to type unicode, it's ctrl shift u and then the code such as 25ce

There is no facility for radio buttons. Has anyone come up with a clever way to simulate them? I know one can put a number in a field and test that number/lettter on exit but I am looking for something more spiffy. Python uses Tkinter which in turn feeds off of the TK part of Tcl//Tk. Tiny Cobol has an assembly language bridge to Tcl/Tk also. Just wondering.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ open-cobol-list mailing list address@hidden https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-cobol-list
