We just upgraded one of our Universe servers to 11.4.1 and i'm trying to set up the MVVS extension in Visual Studio Code to connect to remote Universe. I installed extension Rocket MV basic version 2.7.1 set up db.mvbasic.json with: "db:{       "host": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",      "userName": "xxxxxx",       "password": "xxxxxx",       "account": "XDEMO",       "dataSource": "UNIVERSE",     

Hi all I'm trying to connect to our database using the Visual Studio Code extension. I've configured the server data in the JSON file, but it's connecting to a XDEMO account so it's not useful to me. So, the account is XDEMO and it connects to the server in this path: "/usr/uv/XDEMO" In our database, we have several accounts: "POSVENTA5", "GEN4GL", etc. I need to connect to one of this accounts, that are in the path "/u2/quiter/POSVENTA5", etc. How can I do this?------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

Hello We are currently running Git 2.14.4 on z/OS 3.1. We plan to migrate to the z17 hardware and would like to know if there are any required actions to take for this product, such as upgrading or applying any fixes to tolerate the z17s.   Any assistance on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you Kind Regards, Mathew.

Hi, In Window Client, Zena has option to send the Process Item Output to notepad (see attachment).  Does Web Client have the same option?  If it has, can you help me to find it?   Another note...from Window Client we can get to Zena User's Guide (see attachment); however, in Web Client we could not.  Is it possible that you can give us that option?  Thanks.

I have been struggling this for a few days now. This works of course in Terminal. When you right-clock on a program in VSCode, the bottom  two menu items are Catalog and Compile. I have researched this and it would seem several configurations need to be in place.  I do have the ssh configs set up, the BP file in the workspace, but it never finds the file or the program. Does anyone have the steps to rectify this? Thanks in advance,  Roy.

Hello Everyone! We found that in version 8.2 path 7, HLLX integration in the checkin, build, recompile, and relink functionalities does not communicate with XML in terms of consistency and variable content modification.When HLLX is called from the ISP or client pack panels, it returns an error message, but when called via XML, it does not return an error as expected. Could you please inform if there is an enhancement planned for this item?------------------------------Mari SekineBanco Bradesco S/ASão Paulo BR------------------------------

I read through the documentation and compared it to what I am seeing on the system. There is a DEVICES record called OKIDATA.  This has control character definitions and such. In the USER-COLD-START, there is a STARTPTR 0, 0, 0, S13 & STARTPTR 1, 1, 0, S10 and other for the rest. There is also an ASSIGNFQ 1,OKIDATA (C If I do LISTPTR I have several printers, 0, 1, 2, 6 and 7 and all say serial and DEV or PROCESS # is 13, 10, 11, 14 and 9.On the server itself, the OKIDATA printer name is OKI-C711-DCA9AC. How is the OKI-C711-DCA9AC assign to the OKIDATA?  I am thinking it is something to do with a configuration somewhere for the Dev or Process, but not sure what.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.------------------------------Troy DittbernerPresidentNorthstar Data Services IncBrooklyn Park VA US------------------------------

🧠 Jump to Top in Multi-Value Fields – A Simple Trick to Loop Input Have you ever faced the challenge of designing a screen with a fixed number of multi-value lines, and wanted the cursor to jump back to the top once the last line is reached? For a long time, I couldn't find a way to do this. But now I've discovered a simple trick-and I'd like to share it in case someone else has the same need. 🔧 Scenario Imagine you have a screen like this: You want the cursor to jump back to the first line when pressing <Enter> or <Down> on the fourth line. 🛠️ How to Implement It In the Process Before of the MV field, set: (P:@REFRESH = -2) In the Controlling/Dependent Options, press F3

Continuing with the events that arose during a migration from Net Express 5.1 to Visual Cobol 10, a file opening error occurred. There is a file with eight records opened in input mode by several processes. The event was reviewed and found that when making this call, the service crashed. The reason is unclear since, as indicated, the file only contains eight records and is invoked in input mode. The question is whether new or additional features for file management should be specified for Visual Cobol 10, since this crash and increased resource usage is very high. I appreciate your comments and/or guidance in this regard. Thank you very much.------------------------------alejandro rodriguez manceraconsulting IIOptima LATAM------------------------------

Hi sb users, I'll share a vsCode extension to edit Sbparagraph code.  Use a trigger on XXPROCESS to sync P type in a Directory.  Use sftp/sync to have it on the client Edit your code Use a ssh RUN program to sync back, copy into XXPROCESS, regen the process (like f2), run GC. It return ProblemMatcher info.  Capabilities : syntaxe coloris, all sb common vars, all SBExpression, all sbSubrs, Formater (indent), Hover, SignatureHelp. You can provide custom intellisensitems for Hover and Signature Help. I share all my expérience with pleasure.  Manu------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------
