Files code page
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2016 1:57 pm
Hi, I've just installed Eclipse with cobol plugin Elastic COBOL (from eclipse free site) to compile COBOL programs, just for learning.
I have a program with reading files and writing to files and I can't handle problems with code page, I see only weird characters in files after write... And how to change code page to use ASCII or some other windows codepage? Because right now everythings is using EBCDIC I guess.
And what is best COBOL compiler with IDE? And where can I find z/OS emulator files to download in order to use with Hercules? All the links are dead.
Thanks for help.
