Problem:

In the  Dialog System Character Mode Guide, Chapter 3 Sample Session in Character Mode is an instruction to copy the source file TEST1.cbl from $COBDIR/demo into one of your work directories, and cd into that directory.  However TEST1.cbl does not exist!

Resolution:

This is an error in the documentation.  TEST1.cbl is created as part of the sample session and the source lies further down in the section "Writing a Related Program".

It should be noted that the example code contains the following case errors:

1.  ds-cntrl.mf should be DS-CNTRL.MF

2.  test1.cpb should be TEST1.CPB

3.  move "test1" to ds-set-name needs to be move "TEST1" to ds-set-name

For convenience, test.cbl is attached to this article
