I am using GnuCobol for Win 10. I need to display a console screen with black background and green foreground but doesn't work, It doesn't using the foreground color, neither the background color does. This is my code:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. FillerExample.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 record-example.
05 FILLER PIC X(11) VALUE "hello world".
SCREEN SECTION.
01 DISPL-SCREEN AUTO.
05 BACKGROUND-COLOR 0 FOREGROUND-COLOR 2.
05 LINE 02 COLUMN 20 using record-example.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
Display-Fillers.
DISPLAY DISPL-SCREEN
STOP RUN.
I need some additional setting in Windows console or some flag setted for compiling?
This is the snapshot from the windows console:
Just made a little change from level number 05
to 07
:
07 LINE 02 COLUMN 20 using record-example.
And you'll get the desired result: hello world in background black / foreground green
