In COBOL, you cannot process variably repeating content by using pointer arithmetic to address each instance of the data. Other programming languages do not have this limitation. This example shows you how to handle variably repeating content in COBOL for a Web service applicati...
Running the tests results in the following warning on each file: Warning: You have not configured any parser directories! Please run `tree-sitter init-config` and edit the resulting configuration file to indicate where we should look for language grammars. Any clue how to fix that? Before th...
Data-name-2 can be coded in VS COBOL II programs to access native VSAM return code information to the COBOL program. This field must be defined as a group item of 6 bytes in the Working-Storage Section or Linkage Section of the Data Division. The first 2 bytes of data-name-2 contain ...
COBOL Programming: Could anyone suggest how to display the below values in cobol: -$123.00 -$123456.00 -$67.45 etc Soundar.
Enterprise COBOL V6 offers a number of new and substantially changed compiler options that can affect performance. This section highlights these options and gives recommendations on the optimal settings in order to achieve the best possible performance for your application. Recommended compiler option set...
You can code DL/I calls and data areas in assembler language, C, COBOL, Pascal, Java, and PL/I.
Where ChatGPT succeeds -- and does so very well -- is in helping someone who already knows how to code to build specific routines and get tasks done. Don't ask for an app that runs on the menu bar. But if you ask ChatGPT for a routine to put a menu on the menu bar, and...
A field guide that also covers why we need to rethink our expectations, and what software engineering really is. A guest post by software engineer and engineering leader Addy Osmani
Just as there are still billions of lines of CoBOL code in use today that need to be maintained, support for a legacy standard such as CSV is likely to be required long after it has stopped being implemented in new designs. [top] The CSV File Format Each record is one line ......
That result was interesting. However, I wanted to know whether the company hand-optimized the G-code or generated it directly in the slicer. So, I asked ChatGPT: Can you tell if fast print has been hand-coded or was generated by a slicer? Perhaps look for i...
