Announcements for CSE 314 - Gomori
Sept
22, 2010
- Dates
for the quizzes and lab submissions are now on the course homepage
- Best
e-mails:
- Here's
all the sample programs for the class: Samples.zip.
- As you
look through the documentation on our site, whenever you see a url or
address with a node of "cis" change it to "cse". I
have not yet updated everything.
- I was
asked if attendance is mandatory. Not exactly. I will be taking names the
first week or so to see who on the roster is not showing up so that they
can be dropped from the roster and others can add. That is a requirement.
I will stop doing that shortly. However, not being in class is not an
excuse for not knowing something that was discussed in class. If it's said
in class, then it is general knowledge. It is up to you to find out everything
you missed when you're not there. Find a responsible friend.
- The misc
CSE topics page (link on our course web page) contains some tips on using
VNC to connect from home.
- If your
CSE password doesn't work then try the default one of the last 4 digits of
your (short) buck id number followed by lowercase initials (1234sg). The
passwords may be reset between quarters for non-CSE majors.
- To be
able to use the acu-cobol compiler you need to subscribe to acu-cobol. At
the UNIX prompt enter the command 'subscribe'. A menu of options will
appear. Select '0' for acu-cobol. You then enter 'q' to quit and it will
list current subscriptions. You must then logoff and get back on for it to
take effect.
- If
planning on using VNC to connect remotely then you also need to subscribe
to CONTRIB, which is option '4' in subscribe (see previous note). Grab
that while you're there subscribing to acu-cobol.
- To
compile a program with acu-cobol the command is ccbl followed by a
space and the file name (the .cob file). Any errors are shown to the
screen. Remember to always start correcting compile errors from the top.
Do a couple and re-compile. One small mistake can lead to multiple compile
errors.
- Once you
get a clean compile you will have an executable with a .acu extension. To
run your program use runcbl followed by a space then the
executable's file name.
- There is
also a GridPaper file available, if you want
to use a COBOL coding form. It does not have the COBOL margins marked,
though.
- Use the
clean utility in the directory where you find the test files, not in
/usr/class/cis314
