I know that GNU COBOL supports the function formatted-datetime. Does IBM ENTERPRISE COBOL support this function?
I did an extensive search and found nothing in IBM documentation at hand.
Thank you.
Yup, but I believe it is only supported on Enterprise COBOL v6.3 with PTF PH31047.
You can check the Language Reference for details on the function.

I'm interested is it possible to install and use Android Things(former Brillo) on custom produced hardware?
I can see from the official documentation there is preselected and certified SoMs listed, but I'm interested in using my own hardware.
Is it possible to have best of both worlds - use the familiar to me Android & Android Things but run it on proprietary hardware?
If not, what other options do I have - I researched about micropython, but apparently it seems it also comes with designated board(pyboard).
So my question is what are options to not thinks too much about the firmware on the device(and write C code), but focus on more higher-level business logic and programming languages(Java, Python).
Android Things isn't open source, so you can't put it into that isn't officially supported.
If you're looking for custom options, you will need to find a compiled language like C that works for that board. While C may be a bit intimidating, you may be able to find languages that compile to similar machine code. Rust and Go may work on microcontrollers too if you check.
I'm not too familiar with micro python. It says that it compiles to bare metal/machine code, so I believe you should be able to use it on other boards. While they may officially support the compiler for one board, the community may have support for additional microcontrollers.
I'm trying to program a software similar to this
Where could I find specific information on the programming language used, the required environment, etc?
Thanks.
If you have some money to spend, check out the PCAN-USB device. Using this device you can write your own program using their API, which is supported on most major languages, or getting a license for their PCAN-Explorer software whichever you prefer. I believe versions 5.4 and up have a J1939 plugin that you can get.
You can use different hardware devices and create your code in visual studio or other vendor applications such as CANoe or CANAlyzer.
Hardware:
PCAN
Kvazer
IXXAT USB-to-CAN FD
CANcase
VN1610
or create your own CAN to USB gateway design.
All the available hardware supports different development platforms so it will depends on how much time/money you want to expend.
If you are using the Vector CAN interfaces as the hardware, I suggest you review the Vector XL API, which you can use for free. Vector XL API is primarily intended to be used with the C# programming language.
Is the following documentation to an API or is it a language?
http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Main_Page
considering that this is an API:
http://docs.oxidemod.org/rust/#universal-hooks
I thought this might be too.
Lua is its own coding language. GLua is an API that uses Lua; see the GLua documentation for more details. In short, yes GLua is an API.
I am busy with a project where I have to code a program in Delphi that will translate an English word to another language. What would be the easiest way to approach this? I was thinking about using Microsoft Translator V2 API from Delphi, but it seems very complicated and I am not yet that experienced in Delphi. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance :)
Thanks to RRUZ you can follow this article about Microsoft Translator V2 API implementation for Delphi; inluding the full (even speaking) example.
If you don't have to be self-contained, you could make a webservice call (soap, etc..) to the cloud (google, etc..). The nature of your app (is it a translation program? or do you just want to provide translation in another app, along with spellcheck, thesaurus, syntax highlight, etc..?) will determine whether this is feasible or not.

Delphi 64-bit Preview Compiler available?
Hello!
I know this message will annoy some people, but anyway...
Does anybody know if something is going on with 64bit Delphi?
Does Embarcadero or anybody else developing compiler for 64 bit computers?
Can we expect something in near future?
I looked arround and found very different information, but it would be good to know
to be prepared when everybody will start using 64 bit computers.
Any information will be much appreciated.
Petra.
If you're willing to give up dependence on the VCL, FPC and Lazarus can build 64-bit code.
The official statement for 64-Bit is here: http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/39174
In short: 64-Bit requires many changes to the compiler and they are working on it.
Officially, information about future editions of Delphi and C++ Builder is presented in "Roadmaps". The latest Roadmap can be found here:
http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/39934
This is a slide from the presentation:

"64 bit computers" run current 32bit Delphi executables just fine.
Some people need 64bit executables to access more memory and/or to write drivers, but in my opinion most people don't need 64bit Delphi.
As Andreas pointed out, the most recent word is that they're planning on having a 64-bit compiler in the next preview. With so much to be done, I wouldn't be surprised if the beta cycle for it started real soon, maybe even before the new year.
Keep checking the forums and the Embarcadero blogs (DelphiFeeds.com is a good place to keep abreast of all the news) and you'll probably hear about it starting soon enough. Sign up for the beta and you'll get a chance to test out the 64-bit Delphi system and provide feedback that may even shape the development of the product.
