So I'm trying to make a program in OpenCobolIDE that uses the SCREEN SECTION
feature in COBOL to create a menu where the user chooses whether he wants to input data or display it.
This data is being recorded in a sequential .txt file. The writing process works fine so I don't add the code of this part here. The problem is in the reading process. I wanted the program to display multiple times the DISPLAY-SCREEN
in a PERFORM
loop showing all the records in my file but this is not working. I thought that by removing the BLANK SCREEN
from my DISPLAY-SCREEN
it would work the way I wanted but all that happens is that the program shows the DISPLAY-SCREEN
a single time and it doesn't even display any records. What could be the problem? Here is the code:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID.PGM001.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.
SELECT MYFILE ASSIGN TO "DATA.TXT"
ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL.
DATA DIVISION.
FILE SECTION.
FD MYFILE.
01 FS-TB.
02 FS-ID PIC X(03).
02 FS-NAME PIC A(15).
02 FS-PHONE PIC X(09).
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-TB.
02 WS-ID PIC X(03).
02 WS-NAME PIC A(15).
02 WS-PHONE PIC X(09).
01 WS-EOF PIC A(01) VALUE "N".
01 WS-COUNT PIC 9(01) VALUE ZERO.
01 WS-OP PIC 9(01).
SCREEN SECTION.
01 MENU-SCREEN.
02 BLANK SCREEN.
02 LINE 1 COL 1 VALUE "------------------------------------".
02 LINE 2 COL 1 VALUE "- MENU -".
02 LINE 3 COL 1 VALUE "------------------------------------".
02 LINE 4 COL 1 VALUE "- (1).REGISTER -".
02 LINE 5 COL 1 VALUE "- (2).DISPLAY -".
02 LINE 6 COL 1 VALUE "- (3).EXIT -".
02 LINE 7 COL 1 VALUE "- -".
02 LINE 8 COL 1 VALUE " OPTION:( ) -".
02 LINE 9 COL 1 VALUE "------------------------------------".
02 LINE 8 COL 20 PIC 9(01) TO WS-OP.
01 DISPLAY-SCREEN.
02 LINE 1 COL 1 VALUE "------------------------------------".
02 LINE 2 COL 1 VALUE "- DISPLAY -".
02 LINE 3 COL 1 VALUE "------------------------------------".
02 LINE 4 COL 1 VALUE "-(1).ID : -".
02 LINE 4 COL 18 PIC X(03) FROM WS-ID.
02 LINE 5 COL 1 VALUE "-(2).NAME : -".
02 LINE 5 COL 18 PIC A(15) FROM WS-NAME.
02 LINE 6 COL 1 VALUE "-(3).PHONE : -".
02 LINE 6 COL 18 PIC X(09) FROM WS-PHONE.
02 LINE 7 COL 1 VALUE "------------------------------------".
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
A-100.
DISPLAY MENU-SCREEN.
ACCEPT MENU-SCREEN.
EVALUATE WS-OP
WHEN 1
GO TO A-200
WHEN 2

WHEN 3

END-EVALUATE.

OPEN INPUT MYFILE
PERFORM UNTIL WS-EOF = "Y"
READ MYFILE INTO WS-TB
