My only recommendation would be to start with Open Cobol version 1.1, even though it is marked as beta. There is no SCREEN SECTION in 1.0
The only drawback that I found was with screen input. With Micro Focus, the ADIS screen interface program allows cursor movement from field to field, and how the screen is submitted, to be configurable (there are some 30 questions to answer), whereas with OC, the tab key moves from field to field, and the enter key submits the screen. If your users are used to using the enter key to move from field to field, they will end up submitting the screen prematurely.

XkbSAScreen(3)							   XKB FUNCTIONS						    XkbSAScreen(3)

NAME
XkbSAScreen - Returns the screenXXX field of act converted to a signed int SYNOPSIS
int XkbSAScreen (XkbSwitchScreenAction act); ARGUMENTS
- act action from which to extract screen DESCRIPTION
Actions associated with the XkbSwitchScreen action structure change the active screen on a multiscreen display. The type field of the XkbSwitchScreenAction structure should always be XkbSA_SwitchScreen. The flags field is composed of the bitwise inclusive OR of the masks shown in Table 1. Table 1 Switch Screen Action Flags ------------------------------------------------------------------- Flag Meaning ------------------------------------------------------------------- XkbSA_SwitchAbsolute If set, the screenXXX field represents the index of the new screen. Otherwise, it represents an offset from the current screen to the new screen. XkbSA_SwitchApplication If not set, the action should switch to another screen on the same server. Oth- erwise, it should switch to another X server or application that shares the same physical display. The screenXXX field is a signed character value that represents either the relative or absolute screen index, depending on the state of the XkbSA_SwitchAbsolute bit in the flags field. Xkb provides the following macros to convert between the integer and signed character value for screen numbers in XkbSwitchScreenAction structures. XkbSAScreen macro returns the screenXXX field of act converted to a signed int. STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbSwitchScreenAction { unsigned char type; /* XkbSA_SwitchScreen */ unsigned char flags; /* controls screen switching */ char screenXXX; /* screen number or delta */ } XkbSwitchScreenAction; NOTES
The XkbSwitchScreen action is optional. Servers are free to ignore the action or any of its flags if they do not support the requested behavior. If the action is ignored, it behaves like XkbSA_NoAction. Otherwise, key press and key release events do not generate an event. X Version 11 libX11 1.5.0 XkbSAScreen(3)
