Hi Members...
I am Abhijith , doing my (1st year) Masters in computer applications , and we do have Cobol as an academic subject this time..and i am total newbie to World of cobol.. it has been a month or less since it has been introduced to us.. its pretty easy and easily understandable... We use Softek cobol v1.003 compiler under unix OS at our college labs , and tried hard searching for the same compiler but couldn't find anywhere.. some one suggested MS cobol -85 and i did download n tried working on it... n tried running the programs which we executed at lab using MS COB COMPiler,it gave 300 + errors and i am unable to trace what exactly is wrong , i tried copying the original *.cob file which was fine at our lab but compiling thru MS COB Showed up lots of errors(i did convert the *.cob file to dos using unix2dos) .........
I do request the board members to help me out for getting me a compiler..... (softek v1.0003 for dos ? )
even i am new to unix and i did find OPEN -COBOL 1.0 which works under UNIX But i dunoo how to install it on unix..
i tried hard harder and was successful partially it does compile ( $cobc filename.cob ) but executing ./filename shows error "cob.so" and shows some lib file missing ....
Please help me out.. i am sorry if i posted in wrong section ,
thanking you anticipation
