Hi, I downloaded Visual Cobol 8.0 for Eclipse (vce_80.exe) and its update (vce_80_pu01_308901.exe) as well as the Eclipse environment (eclipse-inst-jre-win64.exe ; JRE 17.0.4.1). So far, "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" is on my machine and I am trying to install VC8.0 on this Eclipse. Unfortunately, I don't succeed and I am wondering if the Eclipse IDE is the good one. May you please tell me if the 8.0 version runs on the latest version of Eclipse, and if yes, which IDE I should download and install. Tahnk you very much, Didier ROLLAND de RAVEL (drderavel@hotmail.com)

cHi AllD3 10.4 on Redhat LinuxCaution: DO NOT change the hostname in /etc/hosts AFTER you have installed D3! Sadly, connections to D3 with subsequently be "refused" - and you'll likely break out in a cold sweat as I did :( (Unless someone can advise me otherwise) Does the "reference" to localhost appear in any config record - which will explain my finding? If not this should be noted (in the manual!)------------------------------Stefano GallottaManaging MemberSimply Red Open SystemsMilnerton ZA------------------------------

Hi, I configured the plugin to connect to my Unidata server, but I keep getting: "Failed to connect account". This is a remote server on my network. Also I'm aware I cannot modify the programs directly on the server. Is there a log that I can check to see what is the problem?  We also have some custom rpc service name, could that be a problem?I just want to be able to access the catalog programs so the GOTO Definition works, same for the include statements.Any help is greatly appreciated.Alejandro

Here at Micro Focus we are continuously looking at the tools that we provide to our customers in order to support their use of our products. With this in mind we are currently reviewing the documentation that we provide to our ChangeMan ZMF customers. For many years, the primary form of documentation has been the set of 20-something PDF files that are available for download from the website. More recently we have also provided several blogs and videos, posted on our Community site and/or YouTube channel, to assist with the introduction and adoption of new features in the product. We are now trying to assess how we move forward from here and are looking for input from our customer base to help us in making these decisions. For example: - Do you find the videos helpful and should we continue to produce these?- Should we convert the PDF files that we currently produce to a more modern format (e.g. a format specifically designed to support online documentation access directly from a browse

A few years ago we asked ZMF customers to provide their feedback on the ChangeMan ZMF documentation that we provide in this Community site discussion. This discussion received a very limited response but we are still interested in your views on the subject. If you do have any views on the current ZMF documentation offerings that you would like to share then please do update the discussion, or raise a case with the Support team to share your views, and we will include them in considering how this documentation is delivered in the future.#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs#ChangeManZMF#documentation

I am trying to write an error-handling routine in my COBOL program for connecting, reading, inserting and deleting tables in my SQL database and would like to know where I can find a list that contains all the possible errors that can potentially be generated along with their code and description. The error codes and their description are assigned to the following variables: 05  SQLCODE         PIC S9(9) COMP-5 VALUE 0. 05  SQLERRM.               49  SQLERRML    PIC S9(4) COMP-5.               49  SQLERRMC    PIC X(70). These variables are part of the copybook located at : “ C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\cpylib\\sqlca.cpy” As an example, a table row containing a null field returns and assigns the error code “0000000001

Hi –   Does RM/COBOL supports any performance analysis tool something like Marco4 FreezeFrame for Z/OS Cobol.   Such  tool did a sampling of currently running process. Record various parameter like memory usage, input-output operations by each programs in current running process, etc.    #RMCOBOL

One developer wants to do a cross-session animation. The program to animate is running from a "batch" script and cobanimsrv is executed from an interactive session. The COBANIMSRV variables and other COB variables are identical in the script and in the session. cobanimsrc starts and waits as expected. When the script starts and gets to the program to animate, cobanimsrv ends immediately without any message, just a series of blank lines. In the meantime, the program in the script pauses as if it was waiting for instructions from cobanimsrv. Back to the session, we determine the program's process id and issue "anim <pid>". The connection is established at the this point and can proceed with the animation. Any idea why cobanimsrv would start/stop immediately and not connect with the program while a direct "anim" would?#COBOL#debugging#COBOLserver#ServerExpress

Good Morning, Iam trying to migrate some dat files to another format and after that merging them to one file.The number of the dat files i have to merge differs in size. I use the .NET directoryInfo::GetFiles method to get all files with a specific name. After that I am migrating the files to the new format and then save them to a temp folder. Then Iam trying to merge all files in this tmp folder by recursively looping through them. After the first merge I get the following error 'File locked (Closed Last Status: 9/65)'. Is there a possibility to close the work-file, because it seems to stay open after merging the first datasets. Thank you very much. Here is the method iam using: procedure division using by value sourceFile as string                                         fileList as ty

Good morning, I have this problem: I use in the form a push button with a bitmap inside, but if I apply a new resolution to the screen or if I modify the dimensions of the button, the image of the bitmap do not automatically changes and do not follows the new dimension of the button that contains it.I found the BITMAP-SCALE directive in various discussion, that I note is valid from the version 10.3.1 of Acucobol, but i don't think that is the right solution because -from wthat I understand- it do not affects on BITMAP BUTTON, it only modifies the scale of the object/controls: BITMAP IMAGE.Is what I have understood about BITMAP-SCALE correct?  Is there a solution to auto-resize the image of the bitmap conteined in a BITMAP PUSH BUTTON when it modifies its dimensions? I am using the Version 9.2.5 of Acucobol-GT Thanks to all for the help Sebastiano

New to Enterprise Developer, take a look at the "Where do I start?" section in the product documentation, URL: https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/enterprise-developer/ed80/ED-VS2022/GUID-235E2743-9F51-41C1-8315-3D38F8FAC684.html#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs#EnterpriseDeveloper

We are interested in automating our use of LMi.  We do regular deployments at the QUA level twice a week and PDN level once a week in our organization.  What were interested - and some other products allow - is for the developer to put in a scheduled promotion request.  As in, the developer adds a promotion request for a specific date, aprovals are then requested / gathered in lmi, and then on the scheduled date and time, assuming all approvals are present, the task promotes and deploys automatically.  Is there any capability of this in Lmi?------------------------------John WeirichSoftware Architect for IBM iNelnetJacksonville TX US------------------------------

Is there a sneaky way to set the valreps in more than one field in the model (in different entities) to a synchronised list? Similar to the syntax or interface properties? I'm assuming not, but it would be really cool if the answer was sure. Obviously, I can set up a constant or include proc and use that to set them at runtime in every program I use them in, but it would be much cleaner to have them synchronised in the model. Regards, Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesPci Systems LtdSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi While compiling couple of programs that are in RM COBOL I am getting the below error. Could you advise. one of the example  CALL "C$WRU" USING WS-LAST-PROG-INFO, WS-LAST-PROG-LINE, WS-LAST-PROG-INTRA-LINE, I am using Visual cobol 8.0 and compiling with a remote project from remoe linux machine which is 8.5 version Please let me know.. Thanks.

I am executing the RM/COBOL but it is presenting me with a problem in the execution:  I can send you the images by mail, but it is related to the following message: Cannot start the RM/COBOL runtime. A Windows COM error occurred: Class not registered (the code is 80040154). To resolve this problem reinstall the RM/COBOL runtime, or register the RM/COBOL runtime with the RUNCOBOL /REGSERVER command. Then a window appears displaying this message Server "rmcbl12r.dll automatic registration failed: The specified module could not be found. Someone from the community is aware of this error since I am not new to the community. Thank you. #RMCOBOL

When running the installation for Enterprise Server there is an opportunity to establish a user ID for Enterprise Server Administration, what should be used? Problem: What user ID should be used for Enterprise Server Administration when installing the software? Resolution: The Process User ID is the UNIX user ID under which all enterprise servers started from Enterprise Server Administration run. You need to supply a Process User ID because the Directory Server itself has to run as root, and without specifying a different user ID the enterprise servers started from the Directory Server would also run as root. The Process User ID is normally supplied at installation time by the installer. If it was not supplied at installation time, you have to supply it before you can use Enterprise Server. You should choose a user ID that has permission to do everything that the applications you plan to run in Enterprise Server need to do, for example, access data files. This user ID

Good Morning, I am trying to Create a REST API IN COBOL That can be called from Both Cobol applications and the front end Applications. Could you please let me know the steps How external Application can access the API Created by Visual COBOL. What Settings I need to do in both COBOL/External Places. And Also Please let me know the Steps / Documentation How to create the REST API where it will read the AWS Table for COBOL And then Send response to COBOL / External Interface (Java). We work on Linux machine for all COBOL Development Please let know. Thanks Verymuch. If there are any documentation or Training Videoes will be a great help.

I am working on a SB+ screen app where when I bring up a record, information gets displayed, and then when I immediately press F2, this error (in the subject) is displayed followed by:index: 0 to one dimension matrix is out of range..at which time SB+ aborts to the colon prompt.I've checked my code to see if I'm updating some common variable in an unusual fashion but not finding anything like that.  Can anyone with access to the source please tell me which variable is whacked and what I can do about it?Another oddity, I am pressing F2 while the common variable CNT = 1. However, when inspect ​CNT, it's always 1315 - which is about 22% through the mv's being shown on the screen.  This doesn't happen all the time, but with one specific record I can make it happen EVERY time.  Also, I checked the record for any weird control characters and there are none.  I even removed the mv set of data with CNT = 1315 and CNT is still 1315 when it blows up.  Any input about what variable is whacked wou

As I've mentioned, I am on Universe, on Linux, using Accuterm. There is a format in these programs I've inherited that looks like this....FPATH='C:\\Users\\kathleenh\\Downloads\\'DOC='2022-Farm-Market-Application.pdf'PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"<":FPATH:DOC:CHAR(13)Don't really understand it, but don't need to if it works - which it does :)But what I am trying to do right now is move a doc (jpeg, xlsx, word, pdf, whatever) from either a network spot OR a c drive location to another spot within a basic program. I tried using a '<' and then a '>' for the two locations but that didn't work.My question is does anyone know how (or if possible) to use this feature (which I think is Accuterm) to move a file from one location to another?OR......What other functions / tools would work to do this? Obviously the user has to have permission to both files. Since I can do the above command to either the C drive or network drives I imagine access is not the issue or holdup - just my ignorance. I
