Periodically I have to transfer a single file, usually .txt, from D3 to the Desktop. There is a function in SB+ to do this to a Windows Desktop environment, but I want to transfer the file to a Linux Desktop. I have looked at scp, but can't quite understand the source path from the D3 partition. Any ideas or other suggestions welcome. Once I get it working, I intend to establish it as a script in SB+ to be used multiple times. Thanks.

Does anyone know what this error is telling me? I see this error come up from time to time and I am not sure what the problem really is. This is Unidata 7.2.9 running on Centos 5.4.  Line 83 of MAIN.PROGRAM is an include, so I find it challenging to find out what it is actually doing when that error hits.  If I step through in the debugger, when it gets to the INCLUDE line it prompts me for the file name where the INCLUDE source resides. When I give it the file name it says that it is not a directory file when it actually is. It won't display the source then.

I know how to link an image from the web to a client's D3 process, but how to do I link an image that's on their local Linux/D3 server to their D3 system? What's the correct format for the path?

First I read from the help info that adding EXCLUDE spec can  be done only when the replication group is ended and I will do that.  The INCLUDE spec of an existing replication group looks simply like this :  Opt  Group       Inc  Object      Type        Library     Attr       GRPU3       INC  *ALL        *ALL        LIBA        *ALL       GRPU3       INC  *ALL        *ALL        LIBB        *ALL       GRPU3       INC  *ALL        *ALL        LIBC        *ALL There are about 30 libraries in all.   Now I want to add that ALL data queue objects in all these 30 libraries are to be excluded from replication.   The question is whether I can add only one entry for   EXC  Object=*ALL  TYPE=*DTAQ  Library=*ALL  Attr=*ALL  ?      (I was hoping I do not have to add 30 entries, each for each library but I cannot find any help info on this). If the answer is yes,  I hope I can add more of a single exclude entry like this for each object type for all libraries that I do not want to be replicated i

Is there also a way to know in runtime if a field is multiline or not ? Thanks for advance. Laurent.------------------------------Laurent MérotProges PlusWillems FR------------------------------

Hi all. I have the following ODBC driver installed : And I'm receiving the following message from OpenDB "[Rocket Software][ODBC D3 Driver]Logon failed. Check D3 connection parameters and available licenses. {28000}" Any Ideas on how to resolve this? (assuming that there are available licenses) - What is "required" for the D3 connection parameters? IOW - for example - Is a password necessary - and again here I understand that a password is recommended but for the case of clarity - is the password required?Furthermore - is there an ODBC v3.0+ available for D3? (yet) Thanks StefanoThanks

Hi We recently upgraded from Visual Cobol 2.3 for Visual Studio Community 2015 to Visual Cobol 8.0 for Visual Studio Community 2022 on Windows 10.  Uninstalled VC 2.3 and VS 2015 first.  Also, installed Update 9 of Visual Cobol and  VS 2022 v 17.7.2.  Made copies of all projects and changed the Target framework from .NET Framework 4.5.2 to 4.6.2 in all projects, because 4.5.2 is no longer supported.  Application is a Windows forms app.  There are now some problems with version 8.0: 1. Accessing properties/methods on data items defined in another .cbl (eg objects on a form where the objects are instantiated in the .designer.cbl) the data item is coloured differently in the editor In V2.3: set litem-butt-amend::Enabled to false In V8.0 set litem-butt-amend::Enabled to false In V8.0 the data item shows as green.  This does not happen in the .designer.cbl.  I cannot find a setting in Fonts and Colors to fix this. 2. Getting error when reading from

I'm trying to debug a batch COBOL program.  It stops on entry to my initial module, but when I push F5 it doesn't go to the next instruction, it runs to the end.  I've got breaks in called program so tried F8 and it also runs to the end.  This worked (F5 going to next instruction and F8 running to break) until the middle of last week.  This morning I had another developer open my project and submit the job.  For him F5 does step through the program.  So he closed and I opened and still doesn't work for me.  We both did a printenv and compared our environment variables and the only differences where our session ID and folders we are linked to.  

I saw a post that was created many years ago (https://community.rocketsoftware.com/forums/forum-home?CommunityKey=fc99efc3-3189-48e3-860f-01928efec020 about only compiling changed source.  I have a NetExpress project that was loaded into Visual Studio 2017 and converted to Visual COBOL 4.0.  The project contains hundreds of cbl files.  If I change only one of the cbl files and click BUILD on the project, I would expect only that one changed cbl to compile (into a GNT) but instead all cbls in the project start compiling.  Is this expected behavior?  #VisualCOBOL#VisualStudio

Hello I'm testing iCLuster in a pre-production machine by restoring a lot of updated files from User Acceptance Test system to pre-PRD system while turning off replication group. Then run DMMRKPOS and start the group with the marked position *YES.  Then I start Sync Check on the group and found around 3,000 OOS objects reported : When I do WRKACTJOB on primary system, there are several iCluster jobs running eating up a total of not more than 35% CPU power of P9 2-core PRD machine. CPU % Busy is less than 10% on the backup node DR machine (same HW capacity as PRD).  When I press F5, the OOS count reduce slowly. My question is whether there is a way available in iCluster's parameters that I can, say, increase the number of iCluster jobs doing OOS Activation task to speed up the process? Thanks in advnace for your response.  ------------------------------Satid SingkorapoomIBM i SMERocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

 List the compatibility issues between Mainframe VS COBOL and MF COBOL.

Users sometime report issues where the ChangeMan ZMF user interface (UI) has told them that a certain function has been completed, and/or a job has been submitted, but the resultant task or job never actually finishes. For example, a user submits a package audit job from the ISPF UI and receives the following messages: AUDIT JOB SUBMITTED/CMN2600I - The job to audit this package has been submitted. Or a user in the ZMF4ECL UI sees the following in their Notification view after submitting a component build request: CMN8700I – Component Build service completed – Package(DEMO000999) Type(SRC) Component(PGM1) Jobname(USER01A) However, the audit and component build requests in the above examples never complete. So, where should you begin investigation into such an issue? The first point of investigation should be the actual job that was submitted to execute the requested function, assuming that it was actually submitted and the output can be found. However, sometimes the job cannot be locat

I tried to activate the U2 python option using the command from the manual. This is what it returned. $ ./bin/uvregen -p PY:1.uvconfig: Permission denieduvregen: error during regen, process abortedUniVerse becomes un-authorized due to license change!Configuration Code:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX That's a scary response. Is it un-authorized now? It's still working but is this going to blow up when I reboot? I'm hoping not and that the real issue is that I didn't execute the command as sudo. I couldn't find any answers online so I'm hoping someone here knows. ------------------------------Joe GoldthwaiteConsultantPhoenix AZ US------------------------------

I am creating an API using the python fastapi library.  The API is running pick programs off the back of the various endpoints using the u2py library.  There is an alias setup to ensure the universe python is being run rather than any other version.  We change dir at os level before running u2py commands.  This all works fine when the universe account has no menu in the login paragraph, otherwise it's getting stuck in the menu.  An example code snippet below works if I run from python prompt at universe level but not if i run python from linux level.  I think it's the @TTY I need to somehow set to 'phantom' stop it ending up in the menu, any thoughts how to achieve this? import u2pyimport os os.chdir('/opt/universe') f_UV_ACCOUNT = u2py.File('UV.ACCOUNT')------------------------------Neil SherwoodAnalyst ProgrammerHSBC Global Services (UK) LimitedLondon GB------------------------------

Hello! Unidata 8.2.3 on Windows 2019. Im using putty and cmd and when i attempt to do a LIST on anything it will output results with the prompt "press enter to continue" once i do that it removes the results it just gave me and outputs the next 10 results or so until the LIST is complete. Im hoping there is a setting that would make it so that it would NOT remove the results in the LIST so that i could scroll up and see all results. any ideas on this?
