This COBOL development system provides a number of ACUCOBOL-GT library routines in native and managed code.
C$CALLEDBY
Returns the name of the caller of the currently running COBOL program or spaces if no caller exists or if the caller is unknown.
C$CALLERR
Retrieves the reason why the last CALL statement failed. For accurate information, it must be called before any other CALL statement is executed.
C$FILEINFO
Retrieves some operating system information about a given file.
C$GetLastFileOp
Retrieves the last COBOL I/O operation performed.
C$JUSTIFY
C$JUSTIFY performs left or right justification of data and centering of data.
C$LIST-DIRECTORY
The C$LIST-DIRECTORY routine lists the contents of a selected directory. Each operating system has a unique method for performing this task. C$LIST-DIRECTORY provides a single method that will work for all operating systems.
C$LOCKPID
This routine returns the Process ID (PID) of the process holding the lock responsible for the previous file lock or record locked condition encountered. This library routine works only with the Vision file system and the UNIX platform.
C$MYFILE
Returns the filename of the disk file containing the currently executing program.
C$NARG
This routine returns the number of parameters passed to the current program.
C$PARAMSIZE
This routine returns the number of bytes actually passed by the caller for a particular parameter.
C$RERR
Returns extended file status information for the last I/O statement.
C$RERRNAME
Returns the name of the last file used in an I/O statement.
C$RUN
ACUCOBOL-GT for Windows supports an alternate method for running other programs. This is through the library routine C$RUN. This library routine works identically to the SYSTEM library routine, except that the calling program does not wait for the called program to finish. Instead, both programs run in parallel.
C$SLEEP
This routine causes the program to pause in a machine efficient fashion.
