File Utility Functions
The file utility functions available with NetCOBOL for Windows are not offered with
the UNIX products. To migrate applications that use these functions from Windows,
it is necessary remove the use of the file utility functions from the programs.
GUI Tools
Depending on the environment, X server has a limitation in the number of colors
that can be handled at the same time. If an application using many colors has
started before the GUI tool is started, the tool may be unable to be started or it
may no longer be displayed in the correct color. To avoid this, terminate
unnecessary applications or change the starting order of applications.
The OPEN LOOK Windows Manager (olwm)
Tools in NetCOBOL display their windows using the Motif Runtime.
When OPEN LOOK Window Manager (olwm) is used, note the following:
a) When a new window such as an option sheet is opened, the position of the
input focus does not move automatically by default.
To move the input focus automatically, add the following item to
$HOME/.Xdefaults.
OpenWindows.AutoInputFocus:True
b) Occasionally, sub-windows are displayed at the back of the main window.
To have the sub-window always display in front of the main window, add the
following item to $HOME/.Xdefaults.
OpenWindows.KeepTransientsAbove:True
c) When using language functions that use the window system, it is necessary to
update each resource file.
d) When a sub-window that prohibits input to a main window is displayed, it is
likely that input to other sub-windows will also be inhibited.
To enable input to the other sub-windows, close the sub-window that prohibits
input to the main window.
e) Invalid items in the window menu may not be displayed as disabled. However,
selecting the items is still invalid.
f) The application icon may not be displayed correctly.
