v1.1.12

Add

• Implemented new file locking and record locking for INDEXED files.
• Add a new sub command migrate for cobj-idx.
  • With this command, you can convert an old version of an INDEXED file to a new version compatible with the latest opensource COBOL 4J.
• Add a new sub command unlock for cobj-idx.
  • With this command, you can unlock all record locks and file locks on an INDEXED file.
• Add documentation of locking for INDEXED files.

v1.1.11

Fix

• Fix OPEN operation for indexed files. (#676)
  • The runtime library now correctly sets the file status to 30 when attempting to open indexed files with invalid or corrupted file formats.

v1.1.10

Add

• Add a manual for the compiler configuration file (#665)
• Add a built-in subroutine
  • C$SLEEP (#669)

Miscellaneous

• Improve the test coverage slightly (#667, #664)

v1.1.9

Add

• Add a sub command create for cobj-idx. (#648)
  • cobj-idx create creates a new indexed file.

Fix

• Handle non-ASCII characters in EXTERNAL items and EXTERNAL file names correctly. (#624)
• Show error messages if unimplemented subroutines are used. (#628)
• Fix non-ASCII characters in external items and external file descriptors. (#629)
  • The older version does not convert － in EXTERNAL items and EXTERNAL file names into another valid character in Java.
  • The older version converts ＢＣ in EXTERNAL file names into invalid characters.

v1.1.8-hotfix1

Fix

• Fix code generations for some WRITE statements.
  • Older versions of the compiler converts some WRITE statements into invalid Java code.
• Fix the compiler to handle source code with UTF-8 encoded half-width Katakana characters correctly.

v1.1.8

Fix

• Fix a bug of duplicate record keys of indexed files

v1.1.7-hotfix1

Fix

• Fix bugs related to UTF-8
  • With older versions, DISPLAY statements output invalid UTF-8 data when the arguments are sub items of group fields.
  • With older versions, initilizing data with VALUE clauses fails in some cases.

v1.1.7

Add

• Implement the environment variable COB_TERMINAL_ENCODING.
  • If the value of COB_TERMINAL_ENCODING is UTF-8, the DISPLAY statement outputs data after converting it to UTF-8. Otherwise, it outputs raw data (typically encoded in Shift JIS).
  • If the value of COB_TERMINAL_ENCODING is UTF-8, the ACCEPT statement processes input data as UTF-8 encoded. Otherwise, it processes input data as Shift JIS encoded.
• Fix the UTF-8 compatible compiler to recognize that the size of multibyte characters in COBOL source code as 2 bytes instead of 3 bytes.
  • This change allows users to write more multibyte characters on each line of the COBOL source code.

v1.1.6

Add

• Compile UTF-8 Source Code
  • The latest version of cobj is now able to accept UTF-8 encoded COBOL and generate UTF-8 encoded Java.
  • See documentation to install the UTF-8 compatible compiler.

v1.1.5

Add

• String literals containing SJIS characters are remained as they are, not being converted into byte arrays.
  • The older versions convert string literals containing SJIS characters into byte arrays with hexdecimal integers.
    • Older versions convert "日本語" into CobolUtil.toBytes((byte)0x93, (byte)0xfa, (byte)0x96, (byte)0x7b, (byte)0x8c, (byte)0xea).
    • Latest version converts "日本語" into CobolUtil.stringToBytes("日本語").

Fix

• Fix comparisons of COMP data.
  • With older versions, comparisons of COMP data are invalid in some cases.
