I know from the responses on this group that people have gotten
this compiler to work, so what am I not doing... every time I try
to compile, I get nothing at all... it goes to the A: drive and looks
for something, and then ends with no explaination as to why, no object file
is created, nothing... 

Second question... In the documentation that version 6.50has'hasi
no sort feature in one place and that it does in another... doesw e
it support the sort feature and if not, does 7.00 have it?

thanks

Thanks to everyone who answered my original question about converting
lower case to upper case in cobol.  You help was much appreciated!

I have another questions now.  Does anyone know a method to remove spaces
from a string in watcom cobol?  I cannot use the inspect/replacing 
method because you must replace each string with a string of the same
size, i.e. a space cannot be replaced with a null character.

Thanks for your help!

THE Clasicall approach is to use three levels of performs:
 
Perform a-do-1
  varying big-sub from +1 by +1
    until big-sub > too-big

a-do-1   section.
perform b-do-2   
  varying med-sub from +1 by +1
    until med-sub > too-big
a-do-1-exit.
 
b-do-2  section.
perform c-do-3
  varying small-sub from +1 by +1 
    until small-sub > too-big
b-do-2-exit.
 
c-do-3   section.
  move garbage of stored-data
    to can     of stored-data (big-sub med-sub small-sub).
c-do-3-exit.

This is a sure-fire way to get yourself into trouble.  There is no COMP-3 
on lots of implementations, on most that have it the result is packed-
decimal, and on some it is various forms of binary.  Because almost all 
implementations are COBOL 85 (I don't know of any that are not), INSPECT 
CONVERTING is the way to go.

The TRANSFORM verb is an IBM extension and does not exist in most other 
implementations.  Again, INSPECT CONVERTING does exactly what TRANSFORM 
does and is standard.

Actually, no C routine would be any faster than the one in my previous
example using reference modification (at least in all of the COBOL 85 
implementations I know about).

The simplest way to convert lower case  to upper in the EBCDIC character
set is to OR each character with a space.  This will shift the  lower
case characters and leave all  the special characters unchanged.
But then  again, How to do an OR  in cobol.


How about:

01  SHIFT-REC.
    05 SHIFT-BIN  PIC S9(4) COMP.

01  SHIFT-REC-1 REDEFINES  SHIFT-REC.
    05   FILLER  PIC X.
    05   SHIFT-CHAR  PIC X.

.....


	MOVE ZERO TO SHIFT-BIN.
	MOVE ...data-char... TO SHIFT-CHAR.

	IF SHIFT-BIN IS GREATER THAN 128 AND
           SHIFT-BIN IS LESS THAN 192
		ADD 64 TO SHIFT-BIN
		MOVE SHIFT-CHAR TO ...data-char...

That's EASY...

just redefine the 1 byte character variable variable to a 1 byte
COMP-3, and add whatever you need to shift it to upper case and write it out.

Program would have about 60 lines in it in all...

This is by no means THE solution to your problems, but if your compiler
is causing you all of this time and grief, seems a good and prudent
business decision to buy a different compiler.  Micro Focus would be
my first recommendation....but it depends on your budget and how well
you write up the justification for the purchase.  Your time is
valuable and if your tools are a hindrance, then your company is
wasting a lot of money if for just paying for your time to program
around all these problems.

Just a recommendation.

Maybe you've got something there.  I understand the Standard (I actually
wrote
some of it and participated in writing most of it at one time or another)
and
only need a few quarts of beer from time-to-time.

Actually, anyone can understand it by reading my book "COBOL 84 For
Programmers".
Only 160 or so pages and will turn any COBOL 74 programmer into a COBOL 85
expert with no fuss (all this for a mere $10).

Uh, is this just an off-topic post or is someone suggesting that COBOL

What about RM/COBOL or ACU-COBOL?
Any C _compiler_ will beat both of these, because they compile to byte-code
and then interpret the byte-code, whereas the C routine will be compiled to
machine code.

(However, it is *possible* that if you also take into account the
time that the cobol run-time system takes to actually call the C routine,
then the cobol version may be faster for small strings.)

Anyway, I doubt that it would be worth the trouble of mixing langauges...
Much better to code the whole program in C :-)

I would suggest writing a C subroutine to strip spaces and calling it
from your COBOL program.  C makes much shorter work of string handling.
Then you can use COBOL to do the real work of the program.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Remove spaces how?  From the front, the
end, in the middle?  If it means remove all spaces and scrunch the stuff
together the UNSTRING/STRING works.  Also, reference modification can 
be used like

        MOVE 1 TO ind1
        PERFORM VARYING ind2 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ind2 > item-size
            IF item (ind2: 1) NOT = SPACE
                IF ind2 NOT = ind1
                    MOVE item (ind2: 1) TO item (ind1: 1)
                END-IF
            ADD 1 TO ind1

The regular PERFORM does what you want.  No need for nesting or whatnot.

Like:

    PERFORM VARYING ind1 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ind1 > ind1-max
      AFTER ind2 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ind2 > ind2-max
      AFTER ind3 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ind3 > ind3-max
        MOVE whatever TO table-x (ind1 ind2 ind3)
    END-PERFORM

Or, if you prefer

    PERFORM VARYING ind1 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ind1 > ind1-max
        do something with the first level
        PERFORM VARYING ind2 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL ind2 > ind2-max
            second level and so on
        END-PERFORM
    END-PERFORM
