I'm trying to translate big software from Cobol to Ada.
I dont know screen section equivalent in Ada, so i began to write 'a screen
form' to my Ada protype.
But .. i'm blocked because i can't control correctly entries'field. More
precisely i can control the entry of exactly ONE character with Get (Char)
that it is correct with MR.

Who had a solution to control correctly entries ? More are there any public
sofware which does control correctly screen ?

- Compiler is GNAT 3.09 with Ada 95. First i'm working with MSDOS.

Regards

Marc

Is this really what you meant. If so, and if it means you did your own
port of GNAT 3.09 to MS DOS, there are a number of other readers of
this newsgroup who would be interested in details.

Undoubtly there is. However this is not an Ada but a OS issue.

For DOS you can use the CONIO_02 package, this package can be downloaded
at the usual GNAT places. For Win95, there are two packages for clearing
the screen and controling the cursor at http://dsl.stad.nl/~jvandyk.

However a better solution would be to agree on a console support package
that could be implemented on a number of platforms. I proposed a spec
for such a package at the recent Ada-Belgium seminar, and since modified
it based on comments recieved.

Time permitting, I'll publish the proposed spec + a number of
implementations before the end of the year.
