Opening the database fails with status -7681
on Windows or Linux
On systems with little endian byte order (Intel) COMP-5
must be used instead of COMP.
The Eloquence image3k library uses native byte order while
Cobol implementations may always use big endian byte order for COMP
(independend of the underlying system). On little endian systems
(Intel) Eloquence and Cobol then use a different encodings
for COMP values.
DBOPEN returns status -31 when an invalid mode is passed.
On little endian systems this is encoded as (hex) ffe1. If this
value is decoded in big endian byte order it becomes (hex) e1ff
which is -7681.
-
With Acucobol you can use the compiler option -d5 which makes
all COMP to COMP-5.
-
With Micro Focus Cobol the folowind directive has the same effect:
MAKESYN "COMP-5" = "COMP"
We are currently working on an option which does no longer
require the usage of COMP-5 with Eloquence.
