C.1.1 Helpful Hints
Keep these tips in mind as you prepare to interface:
- If you are converting your COBOL code from another compiler on a 32-bit
system, you may want to use the compile-time option "-Da4" to align Working-Storage
items on 4-byte boundaries. This helps ensure that they can be addressed
properly if you pass them to C routines.
- To place the terminal in the "default operating system state," call
"w_set_term()". Then call "w_reset_term()" to restore the terminal to the state in which
ACUCOBOL-GT operates.
