 I have encountered an issue while working with a component in my cloned package in VS Code. I recently made some changes to this component, and my colleague made other changes to the same component. As a result, I ran into a merge conflict when attempting to push my updates.After carefully resolving the merge conflict and committing the changes, I tried to push back to the mainframe. However, I received an error, and I am not sure where the problem lies. I have double checked to ensure there are no non-mainframe compatible characters in both the merged source and my commit message.Could someone please advise if there is something I am missing in the process, or if there could potentially be a bug in the git connector? Any guidance or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated as I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible.

We are validating our software package will run on UV version 14.2.1 and noticed the TCL UNLOCK command has been changed since version 11.3.1. UNLOCK ALL is no longer valid and the command will not unlock some record locks. For example: UNLOCK PID 9312 FILE D:\IBM\ACCOUNTS\BRIDGETON\SFH.CONTROL RECORD SFH@BRIDGETON Does not release the lock: 06 LIST.READU DETAILSActive Locks:Device.... Inode.... FileName. UsrNo Pid....

Why the SFH@BRIDGETON lock is not released? Any other UNLOCK gotchas in version 14.2.1 v 11.3.1?Thanks in advance.

I have a relational database with a one-to-many table. When reading it in COBOL, I believe it's necessary to read the record key from the main table and the related records from the secondary table; I believe a read should be performed from the main table record key, and the related records from the secondary table would be stored in an "occurs" of that record.The  code  FD :  FD ARCHIVO-NUEVO.01 REG-NUEVO-FISICO.05 Fis-RecNumber PIC 9(6).05 Fis-Nombre PIC X(30).05 Fis-Tabla-Pagos.10 Fis-Nuevo PIC 9(8) OCCURS 100 TIMES. Is correct???Thanks

Hi everyone,I downloaded Visual COBOL for Eclipse Personal Edition Ubuntu 11.0.zip, but I am unable to complete the installation because of a license issue.The bundled license XML file appears to contain the following License Group:Visual COBOL for Eclipse Personal Edition_Windows-RPv1Since this is the Ubuntu/Linux download, I expected the license file to be for Ubuntu or Linux, not Windows.Has anyone else seen this issue with the Ubuntu 11.0 Personal Edition download?Is this Windows-RPv1 license XML actually valid for Ubuntu/Linux, or is the wrong license file included in the download package?If this is not the correct file, how can I obtain the correct Ubuntu/Linux Personal Edition license XML?Thanks.

Hello,I am using the MVSP utility from D3 version 9.2. This is the second time that I have encountered a new error message. What could be causing this? Could it be related to the VME workspace? It is currently at 55%. Could it be linked to the server memory, which did not appear to be saturated?After this message appeared, the D3 database stopped responding, and it was no longer possible to connect via Telnet.Message received from the TIGR.MVSP program:System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system did not have enough buffer space or because the queue was full 127.0.0.1:9000 at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port) at TIGR.MVSP.Pick.ConnectCore(String hostName, Int32 hostPort, String userName, String userPassword, Boolean sslConnect, Boolean licEnterprise)Have other D3 users encountered this type of issue? Any information that could help guide me toward resolving this problem would be appreci

Hi all,I am trying to trace down an annoying issue related to opening files in Uniface Runtime but unfortunately I am not able to identify an origin and a solution.Here it is the scenario:    - A centralized server (Windows 2019 Datacenter) sharing a disk    - All users (normally 120 but up to 150 concurrent) refers to this server to startup a Uniface application in C/S mode    - Log is activated for all sessions ($ioprint = 1)The system is up’n running 24x7 and issues I am going to list are happening mainly from 8:00 to 20:00 when most users are at work but there are cases also outside this timeframe like in the evening (20:00 to 24:00)  and also in the middle of the night (00:00 to 06:00).Issues:    - 20% (extimated) = daily Uniface sessions terminating without any signal or message or other… nothing!    - 79% = Session unable to write log file on shared disk (message:    ULOG Error: Failed to write to .\log\[NETWORK_NODE_NAME]_[PROCESS_PID].log) in this case a UNIxxxxx.log file is c

Hi everyone,I’m working on a small internal workflow and wanted to ask for advice from people using Rocket Open-Source Languages and Tools for z/OS.We have a process where project metadata is exported from a workstation and then transferred to z/OS USS for validation and reporting. The files are mostly CSV and JSON, and they include fields such as project ID, file name, export date, duration, owner, and status. Some of the source files are created after media work is completed in a pc video editor, but the actual task on z/OS is only to validate and process the metadata, not the media files themselves.I’m planning to use Python on z/OS USS to: Read the uploaded CSV/JSON metadata files Validate required fields Normalize date and filename values Write a clean output file for downstream reporting Log any rejected records with a reason My questions are: Are there any z/OS USS file encoding issues I should watch for when reading CSV or JSON files created on distributed systems? Is

Summary: Rocket Analyzer is not detecting %INCLUDE statements that are wrapped in conditional compilation directives (%IF).Problem Description: We have a PL/I program `PL1PGM1.pl1` that includes a copybook `PL1INCL1.inc` which contains multiple %INCLUDE statements. Some of these includes are wrapped in conditional compilation directives using %IF statements. Rocket Analyzer's dependency analysis only detects %INCLUDE statements where the conditional compilation evaluates to TRUE based on preprocessor variable values. It excludes includes where conditions evaluate to FALSE. Example from PL1INCL1.inc%IF $COND1 = 'YES' %THEN %DO;%INCLUDE PL1INCL2;%END; %IF $COND2 = 'YES' %THEN %DO;%INCLUDE PL1INCL3;%END; %IF $COND3 = 'YES' %THEN %DO;%INCLUDE PL1INCL4;%END; Since `COND1` and `COND2` are not set to 'YES', Rocket Analyzer excludes PL1INCL2 and PL1INCL3 from the dependency graph. To check, I changed the condition %IF $COND1= 'YES' %THEN %DO; to %IF $COND1= 'NO' %THEN %DO; and the dependency n

In MvBase, there was a TCL command called “FIND”. This was a great utility. It allowed you locate a string in every record in the specific file.It would then give the user the chance to save the found record ID’s to a select list Is there are equivalent function or add-on in UniVerse?
