Re: [open-cobol-list] OC compiled for 64 bit?

[Wim Niemans]

Victor,

i'll reply not because I KNOW, but I do recognize the following:

On another note: Compiled some appl that write to the printer which is assigned as org line sequential and found it printing every other line, i.e., leaving a blank line after each line being printed and the solution was to remove the organisation sub-clause however this should NOT be required.

 

Anyone know why this is happening?

Line Sequential should be applied to disk/tape files only.

As far as I know a printer (if assigned so) does not need a organization clause, same as the input terminal (stdin).

Though one may add such clause to make the program compatible with piped workflow in *nix.

What happens is:

When you write to your printer, the syntax is WRITE LINE AFTER/BEFORE ADVANCING x LINES.

When AFTER/BEFORE is missing, some default applies to x: probably that is AFTER 1 LINE.

Now, LINE SEQUENTIAL adds a end-of-line to your record, which should be different for Mac, Windows, *nix.

So you end up with ADVANCING 1 LINE **and** some "printer control" that interprets the end-of-line.

Try to ADVANCE 0 (zero) LINES and see what happens.

Or treat your file just as you would have a disk file.

Hi;

 

Hoping someone can help me

 

I have compiled OC on my x64 Linux system but pretty sure it is not compiling as x64 nor the applications.

 

So I have a few questions I need solving:

 

1. How do you build OC for x64?

2. How do you build your apps for x64?

3. What issues will arise by doing 1 and 2, e.g.;

What data fields change in size causing file compatibility problems?

What other issues rear their ugly head?
