I'm using Visual Cobol for Eclipse with the RM Dialect.


Using a RM Window Call, when the Window Closes the program displays a Terminate Window message, and doesn't redraw the background.

Is there an easy way to get this working?

I use CONTROL "WINDOW-CREATE" AND CONTROL "WINDOW-REMOVE" ... to start and stop the window in RM. But with RM in Visual Cobol, the main screen doesn't redraw, which is behavior that normally happens in RM.

Hi Eric,

We have yet to implement the RM windowing mechanism in Visual COBOL, so you would need to use the ACUCOBOL windowing support in order to try and mimic what RM does.

You can find documentation for the ACU Windowing in the following section:

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

In the enclosed ZIP file you have all the necessary to this. Try to compile in Visual Cobol for eclipse and you can see how this run.

Thanks so much Pedro

Your sample will help figure out how not only how to get it to work, but also how to do Visual Cobol WIndows.

Gracias!
