Curt:
In Cobol, I have always defined each individual escape sequence like this:
3.8 05 CLEAR-SCREEN.
3.9 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
4 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE "h".
4.1 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
4.2 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE "J".
4.3 05 POSITION-CURSOR.
4.4 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
4.5 10 FILLER PIC XX VALUE "&a".
4.6 10 PC-COL PIC 99.
4.7 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE "c".
4.8 10 PC-ROW PIC 99.
4.9 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE "R".
5 05 INVERSE-ON.
5.1 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
5.2 10 FILLER PIC XXX VALUE "&dJ".
5.3 05 INVERSE-OFF.
5.4 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
5.5 10 FILLER PIC XXX VALUE "&d@".
5.6 05 SCREEN-OFF.
5.7 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
5.8 10 FILLER PIC X(5) VALUE "&w13F".
5.9 05 SCREEN-ON.
6 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
6.1 10 FILLER PIC X(5) VALUE "&w12F".
6.2 05 FKEYS-OFF.
6.3 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
6.4 10 FILLER PIC XXX VALUE "&j@".
6.5 05 FKEYS-ON.
6.6 10 FILLER PIC X VALUE %33.
6.7 10 FILLER PIC XXX VALUE "&jB".
Then, when I want to enable a certain escape sequence, I use:
DISPLAY SCREEN-ON.
. . .
DISPLAY FKEYS-ON.
. . .
MOVE 00 TO PC-COL
MOVE 10 TO PC-ROW
DISPLAY POSITION-CURSOR
If you're using FWRITE's to the terminal instead of DISPLAY's, you can just
move the escape sequence to the record buffer and FWRITE it.
Hope this helps.
