Hi Michael,
Printing in Cobol is done by writing to a
sequential file. This file may be a pipe if you wish.
In unix/linux you would create a pipe with "mkfifo"
then write to this file from your cobol program.
I use external variables for assigning files ("cobc
-std=ibm")
export SYSOUT=sysout
mkfifo sysout
# now start a print process which reads from the
pipe
lp - < sysout &
# and run your cobol program
myprog
And you can also assign your file to any
device
export SYSOUT=/dev/console # for
example
Regards
Franklin

Subject: [open-cobol-list] How is
printing done in OC ?
Dear
all,
How can we print in OC ? Is there a way to send
text directly to a physical device or to the input of a un*x
pipe?
Thanks,
Michel
