I'm looking for some help on a project im doing.
THe project is to allow user input through a form, format it to the
correct size based on user input, then write to a file.
Basic structure:
Cobol Text File Creator (my college is too stuck up to get a DFU),
P1.ask how many entries per line, => how many across
p1.how many lines, => how many down
P2 create drop down to allow user input on how wide they want that
column's char should be. =>$HowWide
P2 create table based on P1 Information.
P3 (this is where im having trouble)
P3 gather user information, process it as:
for 1; HowManyLines
for 1; HowMany Across
userdata = DataEntered[HowManyLines][HowManyAcross]
if strlen(userdata) < $HowWide
add " " until userdata = $HowWide// " " is a blank space
elseif strlen(userdata) > $HowWIde
substr(userdata, 0, $HowWide)
// if you have a spot that is suppose to be 25 char long, but you only
// have a 15 char long entry, you need 10 spaces or visa versa.
however, i am unable to do anything on P#3. I have put all the user
data into a multi dem array but, i am unable to recall it inside the
for loops. any suggestions or a push in the right direction. (more
than likely im doing it all wrong=).
any help would be greatful.
