COBOPERATOR1 will take full COBOL programs... example try putting in: COBOPERATOR1: IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. HELLO-WORLD. PROCEDURE DIVISION. DISPLAY "Hello World". STOP RUN. (1 line) My theory is that we can use this to change the date thus making COBOCOP happy, but my attempts accidentally crashed COBOPERATOR1, and got me banned by COBOLORD. No more play for me :-( Come all... save Ruby from this menace!

I removed all the parentheses keys from my keyboard and locked them in a PO box. Whoever will read this thread in the future: You will find parens, braces and brackets in box #1011 /you will know where to look/! -- Frank

Maybe we should go back to Java (the New Age Cobol) to save our lives. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
