B-3
PIC9V data items with
more than 16-digit
precision
The precision of the converted code
is limited to the most significant 16
digits after the decimal point. The
converter generates an error and
continues converting the remaining
program units. The converted Java
code contains a non-compilable
error message.
Either modify the
converted code or edit
the SCREEN COBOL
source program to
reduce the size of the
data item.
PRINT SCREEN The converter generates a warning
and continues converting the rest of
the program. The converted Java
code contains the warning
statement as a comment. The
converted code will compile, but the
effect of the PRINT SCREEN
statement is not provided by the
converted code.
No corrective action
needed.
RECEIVE UNSOLICITED
MESSAGE,
REPLY UNSOLICITED
MESSAGE
Unsolicited-message processing is
not currently supported for
conversion. The converter
generates an error and continues
converting the rest of the program.
The converted Java code contains a
non-compilable statement.
Either remove the non-
compilable statement
from the converted
code or remove the
RECEIVE
UNSOLICITED
MESSAGE or REPLY
UNSOLICITED
MESSAGE statement
from the SCREEN
COBOL source
program.
RECONNECT MODEM Because the converted application
is running within the context of a
browser and not over a dial-up ine,
this statement is not meaningful in a
web environment. The converter
generates a warning and continues
converting the rest of the program.
The converted Java code contains
the warning statement as a
comment. The converted code will
compile, but the effect of the
RECONNECT MODEM statement is
not provided by the converted code.
No corrective action
needed.
