With the animator I was seeing an error when running the program via the animator. I was showing a not numeric message. When running the program after a regular cobc compile it would get no error. But after looking at the output it seemed to printing the last line twice. Turns out the data files is 81 bytes in size with a 0A at the end, and think it is getting a short read. I used dd to just copy the first 80 characters to the file, and now the program runs fine in both the animator and the cobc compile. Since it was dealing with packed data it was hard to tell exactly how the data works out. Not sure if this is an issue with the file only, or if there is a difference in how the later version of gnu cobol reads the files or gets the EOF, or handles the short read? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
