numeric picture clause with usge display failed

[a4032]

I've got a picture clause like this
03 VALUE01 PIC +9999999,99 USAGE DISPLAY.

When reading the file I got this error:
za.co.absa.cobrix.cobol.parser.exceptions.SyntaxErrorException: Syntax error in the copybook at line 23: Invalid input ',' at position 23:46

IS this a correct picture clause ? and if so, how can I read this data with cobrix?

Thanks

Yeah, that's a correct picture clause. Somehow I didn't add the comma as a valid separator. PR #241 fixes this.
@yruslan, are there any other valid separators? If so, I can add those to the PR before merging.

[yruslan]

I never saw decimal separators other than . and ..

The @tr11 's fix is available in 2.0.2. It may take some time to get to Maven Central.

Please let us know if it worked for you.

thank you very much.
I've tested it today, and its working.
just i minor issue with the 'usage display' clause. If the picture is to long, the USAGE is concatenated at the end of the picture (cfr. 99999U instead of 99999 USAGE.)

Could you give a concrete example of a copybook with that behavior?

[a4032]

This is a working example (partial copy book):
03 PERC-SE-WN_01 PIC +9999999,99 USAGE DISPLAY.

This one failed example (partial copy book): :
03 FFG-BV-SECUREX PIC +9999999999999999,99 USAGE DISPLAY.

with error :
(ef.length:,1)line 7:65 no viable alternative at input '+9999999999999999,99U'
za.co.absa.cobrix.cobol.parser.exceptions.SyntaxErrorException: Syntax error in the copybook at line 7: Invalid input 'U' at position 7:71

[tr11]

The issue is not with the parser but with the copybook:

za.co.absa.cobrix.cobol.parser.exceptions.SyntaxErrorException: Syntax error in the copybook at line 7: Invalid input 'U' at position 7:71

The typical rules for COBOL copybooks apply to this library by default; any character on positions 1-6 and 72+ are considered comments. You may want to deactivate that by using

.option("truncate_comments", "false")

or by manually editing your copybook so no relevant definitions are on columns 72+.

What's happening in your case is that the SAGE DISPLAY portion is stripped as it's past column 72, so the copybook only sees the +9999999999999999,99 U part.

[a4032]

yes, indeed. That part I had forget. You're completely right. Sorry for the effort on this.
I will correct my copybook.
thanks.
