| goodday, friends
I am new to cobol for *nix“es, and I am stuck with the subject.. how
to build a GUI interface inorder to interact with the final user?
he/she wants to insert/retrieve data, so I must build a workable
interface for this.
Ah, it can be either console (ascii) or Gnome/KDE interface.
thankyou
(if possible, please reply also to my e-mail addr)

You have two choices:
1. SP2 from Flexus will provide a GUI front-end to your existing code.
2. Re-write in a COBOL that has native GUI support (Fujitsu, for example).

There is a Unix/Linux console version of SP/2 from Flexus.
An advantage of a console 'GUI' is that it can be easily accessed
using telnet or ssh from anywhere using just an xterm or, say, putty.

Actually there are dozens of choices, some more useful than others.

Fujitsu PowerCobol or .NET are not particularly useful in a Gnome/KDE environment.

Or: PERCobol from LegacyJ
Or: AcuCobol thin client

As far as I'm aware AcuCOBOL thin client can only be used ona Windows desktop.
Not Gnome like the poster is after.
Has anyone mentioned a web based solution? Using COBOL and simple CGI would
be able to deliver a cross platform solution. That's as long as you are
willing to live with a browser based interface???

Jerry:
He wants a Gnome/KDE interface (Linux GUI). He can use sp2 to create
the GUI screens, but to display in KDE/Gnome, he should use our Web
Client software in order to display the screens in a Linux GUI web
browser.
Fujitsu has Linux support, but not for KDE/Gnome screen handling. As
far as I know, KOBOL supports a native KDE/Gnome style GUI interface.
Hope this is helpful.

I suspect that PERCobol supports the Linux GUI, but does AcuCOBOL's
thin client support it?
