IBM Mainframe Forum

I have coded a source program for display GUI.
userconfig.cbl = SCREEN and INTERFACE for configuration and settings.
lib/std/get_age = STANDARD PROGRAM that use to calculate AGE based on DOB (date of birth)

IN userconfig.cbl once compiled, it will display as below:

Select all

USERNAME: _____________, data type PIC x(30)
EMAIL: _________________, data type PIC x(40)
DOB: __________________ (X), data type 99/99/9999 where (X) is the age should display calling get_age
HEIGHT: _______________, data type PIC 999V99
WEIGHT: _______________, data type PIC 999V99

My question is, the get_age object is ready to use and how to call and pass the value of DOB and return the (x) = age?

Please use code tags when posting code and data and screen shots.

This is a mainframe forum - what you have presented seems to be for a program to run on a PC. The COBOL dialects are different - I do not know if COBOL on the mainframe even specifies a SCREEN SECTION.

Again, that all points to a non-mainframe environment. I hvae just looked in the COBOL Languag Reference for the z/OS operating system and there is no SCREEN section. So, perhaps you are running on z/Linux but what cobol compiler are you using?

by **lrtcoolman** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 5:18 pm

yup .. all this program is coded and stored in a Unix server
the compiler I am using > ACUCOBOL-GT

btw, for a basic COBOL program could you show example of calling a subroutine and return calculated value ?

by **NicC** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 5:26 pm

Which Unix?

Use the LINKAGE SECTION.

This is run in the HPE, so OS installed is HP-UX .
'
How to actually link if I have DDMMYYYY value from USER_CFG and wanna use in GET_AGE then the results pass back to USER_CFG diaplay as AGE ?

So you are not on a mainframe. Topic to be locked and deleted.

Sorry, I just start to code COBOL since last 2 week. I hope that someone can demo the practice of code.

There are plenty of tutorials and books out there.
