Hi Dave and welcome to GnuCOBOL. As Brian already pointed out there is the plan to add this feature (will be supported with the "old" x'91', too). See https://sourceforge.net/p/open-cobol/feature-requests/105/ You're invited to do the necessary changes (or let someone do this for you, either a friend, in-house, or paid) - I'm always willing to help anyone that wants to provide patches. Just leave a note in the FR mentioned above. In the meanwhile you can only do a CALL "SYSTEM" USING "cd <dir> && ls <searchlist> > dirfile" or CALL "SYSTEM" USING "cd <dir> && dir <searchlist> > dirfile" depending on the system used (or both, doing the second only if the return-code is not zero) Simon > Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 10:11:16 -0000 (GMT) > From: "Dave Stratford" <dave.stratford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Reading directory lists from GNU Cobol > programmes > To: open-cobol-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Message-ID: > <55077.62.253.78.101.1455099076.squirrel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 > > Hi folks, > > MF cobol offers the facility to read directory entries by use of the > CALL x"91" using ... facility. > > This seems to only work on windows (though I may have misunderstood what I > was told), however GNU Cobol doesn't support it at all.
