Screen Sectio Examle

Hello,

You might want to look at the example in C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\Samples\\Interface Mapping Toolkit\\ServiceInterfaces\\BookDemo

There is no solution or project for this example, but you may create a new one where booktest.cbl is the main program and book.cbl the subprogram.

Regards,

There is also the following ADSAMP example which is from Net Express which will also work under Visual COBOL. This also demonstrates how to set some of the keyboard configuration options through calls to run-time routines.
