Problem:
When animating a COBOL program and you want to accept command line parameter which contains either quota marks (“) or backslashes (\\) in the text:
cobrun test-program “test” or \\test\\ and the quota marks or backslash are not accept in the COBOL program.
cobrun test-program “test” or \\test\\ and the quota marks or backslash are not accept in the COBOL program.
Resolution:
You should invoke animator using the following command line. Notice animator is invoked via COBSW= A:
CMDLINE="text containing \\" character"
COBSW= A; cobrun test-program ${CMDLINE}
CMDLINE="text containing \\" character"
COBSW= A; cobrun test-program ${CMDLINE}
