[comp.os.vms] Vax FMS

cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP (Christopher F. Chiesa) (12/18/87)

   I am currently using DEC's FMS package on a team project for a Software
Engineering course, but am having some difficulty getting UARs (User Action
Routines) to work.

   I'm writing in COBOL, not my best language but quasi-required for this 
project.  The "sample application" program supplied by DEC in the FMS docu-
mentation seems to be able to do what I'd like to, but I don't want to lift
it directly, for many reasons; I've tried to emulate the format and organi-
zation of the example, however, without success results.

   If anyone in net-land has any useful experience with FMS and/or variable
scoping, passing, and included-vs-non-included subprogram modules in Vax COBOL,
I'd very much appreciate hearing from you; a dialogue would probably ensue.

   Thanks in advance,
