Hello Boris, Thank you very much. I will further investigate the problem(s) and will open a ticket on github. Probably this take some days for me but I will do so. Today I spent some hours to bring debugging run on my Ubuntu 24.04 with VS Code and a fresh self compiled GnuCOBOL from the 3.x-branch (SVN Rev 5593) but without success, too. In the generated tasks.json the SuperBOL macro definitions for debugging etc. are yellowed lined, so debug build will not add -g etc. to the cobc parameter list....

The DB2 COBOL preprocessor is packaged with DB2 community edition. Currently at Ver 12. x (Ithink) db2 prep %2 target ibmcob bindfile db2 bind %3 The WINIDE DB2 support is transparent. Tell the IDE to compile a program. If it contains EXEC SQL the DB2 preprocessor and bind are invoked automatically. Review the release at https://www.wincobol.com/post/winzos-winide-much-improved

Hi Guys. The more I think about AI, the more I worry. If it automated some low wage jobs or even a few high paying consulting jobs that might be ok but what worries me is when machine vision/hearing, robotics and AI converge.

Hello Michael. We're investigating the problem with our team. We did some tests (VSCode extension with debugger and an external terminal to communicate with the program) and could not reproduce your bug. We suspect a problem specific to Windows. The best you can do would be to open a Git issue here with details about your problem and environment to help us reproduce the bug: https://github.com/OCamlPro/superbol-studio-oss/issues

Yes of course, you can debug, put breakpoints, examine the content of variables, etc. The people of Superbol could explain it better than me!
-
The superbol extension comes with gnucobol pattern matchers that you can use - no need to define one by yourself. Ideally it creates a task.json for you as well. Just curious: have you used it for debugging GnuCOBOL programs as well? That's kind of a big "selling point" after all.
-
If you really want that with all files then you need a small gixsql_and_cobc.cmd which: * executes gixsql first * then execute cobc %* And point OCIDE to use that instead of cobc.exe. What I'd likely do is to associate sqb + pco to the SQL COBOL, store files with included EXEC SQL with a different extension (one of those), use the GnuCOBOL folder as esql folder and create a small wrapper esqloc.cmd which calls gixsql.exe. This way you have a nice integration even if OCIDE will never be updated to...

compiletaro posted a comment on discussion GnuCOBOL
It seems like you really like using the command line, Mickey. I’m still a beginner engineer, and I’ve never worked with a mainframe before. Gix-IDE does run, but it’s quite unstable in the end... When I try to register PostgreSQL in the DB Manager, the application crashes and I can’t complete the registration. Even when I run it in debug mode, the application still crashes. I haven’t tried the “IBM DB2 Community Edition” that you mentioned yet, but I’m quite interested in it.
-
OpenCobolIDE: maybe you could configure the SuperBOL-distibution as GnuCOBOL-compiler inside OpenCobolIDE. Then GixSQL support should work in command line. Is that true!? If that’s really possible, I’d be so happy. I set the compile path to the GnuCOBOL that I installed from SuperBol, but… It seems that statements like EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC. are causing syntax errors and not being recognized properly. Do I need to configure something separately for SQL COBOL as well?

In addition to Mickey good tips: On Windows I like using the GnuCOBOL-package from SuperBOL. In this distribution GixSQL is also included. There is also an addon from SuperBOL for VS Code and VS Codium which provides a very good support for GnuCOBOL under VS Code. Maybe you could create a own file task.json for compile and run out of VS Code. Showing errors in source code is also possible with a good task.json. This solution is a good choice in my opinion. But it needs a little work to adjust settings.json...

On another note, have you tried IBM DB2 Community edition on Windows?

I, for one, prefer the command line. Nothing fancy. If you like IDE and you have Gix-IDE working, I would say stay with Gix-IDE. There is straight VSCODIUM ( like VSCODE ). It may depend on your background. If you are from the Mainframe world you may like some of the ISPF like options available to Windows ( not an IDE but Editor ). I even use Notepad++ on Windows. And I use Linux mostly and so use the VIM command line ( there is a VIM for Windows ) . Do you use Linux or are you just focusing on ...

Chuck Haatvedt modified a comment on discussion GnuCOBOL
Anshul, I don't think that will help with variables in your COBOL code as GNUCOBOL does not appear to have any compiler option to not optimize storage. Some of the other compiler vendors have an option like this. Also the default GNUCOBOL compiler behavior is to initialize all of working storage, So that would defeat an storage optimization of unused storage by the C compiler, so they are being optimized by the GNUCOBOL compiler. You can prove that by compiling your program with the "-save-temps"...

Anshul, I don't think that will help with variables in your COBOL code as GNUCOBOL does not appear to have any compiler option to not optimize storage. Some of the other compiler vendors have an option like this. The option I gave you to include a C header file does work. Could you post the contents of your "compilation.h" header file ?

Yes, I need to disable all the optimization using -O0. The unused variable which we are using just for versioning.

Hey COBOL fans! I’ve got a question — what’s the best development environment for learning COBOL on your own? I’m using Windows 11. I used to work with OpenCobolIDE, but I found out that embedded SQL doesn’t work on Windows, which was a bit of a bummer. Right now, I’m using Gix-IDE — it’s a bit unstable, but embedded SQL works, and the GUI is pretty nice, so I think it might be good for beginners. What do you all think? I’d love to hear your opinions!

I just remembered that I had installed MinGW during the initial setup, so I reinstalled it using MSVC instead. After that, I was able to successfully build and run the project. I apologize for the trouble I caused, and I truly appreciate everyone’s help in getting it to work!

Do you still need to disable all optimizations with -O0? I finally found "freestanding" in the file generated by running "cobc -vvh > cobc-help.txt", and the definition only says "Do not assume that standard C libraries and "main" exist.' I don't see why that would affect the generation of COBOL working-storage section. I think that it should be a requirement for a compiler to include a diagnostic string in every program that specifies the exact name, version, build date & time of the compiler. I...
