Re: COBOL and PCML and OUTPUT only fields -- COBOL400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

Thanks for the tip on the init! I've passed it along.
What we are striving for is a hands-off type of approach so a developer
can go in to the COBOL, make changes, generate the PCML and not have to
go in and manually edit the PCML after compiling the COBOL. Especially
since it could be a completely different developer with little or no
knowledge of the application on the java side.

The fields in PCML are not implicit initialized. To initialize them
explicitely, you can use init-keyword in your PCML, i.e.
init = " " for chars and
init= "0" for packed or zoned

So your Java programmer does not have to initialize all fields.
He/She have only set the fields he need to call the COBOL-object for
specified task.
