Hi, I am involved in converting a suite of programs to Open Cobol but am not able to terminate ACCEPT fields with Tab or Escape characters. These are used extensively in the current user interface so I would prefer to stick with them rather than change to function keys and have to retrain 100 users. Any Ideas will be welcomed.
Did you see http://opencobol.add1tocobol.com/#does-opencobol-support-screen-section ?
Both environment vars need to be set (which can be done in COBOL as long as it's before you trigger cureses)
SET ENVIRONMENT 'COB_SCREEN_EXCEPTIONS' TO 'Y' SET ENVIRONMENT 'COB_SCREEN_ESC' TO 'Y'There was a small discussions about a tweak to screenio.c that allowed other terminators as well, if I remember correctly.
Cheers, Brian
