Keyins not accepted by Windows programs on CYGWIN. Micro Focus Net Express COBOL does not accept responses to error messages. To illustrate the problem, consider following compile:
cobol car100.cbl,,,,ANIM NOOBJ; <-- sample compile command =========================
If copybook missing Net Express prompts & Allows you to enter a response:
FILE BELOW NOT FOUND - Stop/Retry/Continue/Alter-path custmas.cpy =====================================================
- But replies are not accepted - All you can do is ctl Break to kill - then any replies are displayed by the CYGWIN shell
This may be a CYGWIN problem, since the replies work OK under the UWIN emulation pkg, BUT other programs work OK on both UWIN & CYGWIN ??
Above problem demonstrated with manual command but even worse when running my scripts:
I have described the problem in more detail at: www.uvsoftware.ca/ibm2unix.htm#3L1 Missing copybook problems
