All,I received an error message from a phantom process the other day. It states that a register variable ($R32) is unassigned. At first blush I was confused, why would the run machine complain about a register variable that the compiler assigns? If I run VLIST on the program Line 77 shows $R32 being assigned a value. This process is run on many different part files (poor man's multi-threading) and I only get this message from one of the part file phantoms. It seems like the program is good. It would appear that if it were a data problem the compiler or run machine would complain about the problem data before it calls out a register variable.The register number and line number were obfuscated to protect the innocent. The question still remains. Jon

I am getting the following error messages in the console log Microfocus Helpdesk continues to ask me if I can reproduce this issue in Development.  My response is that if they can tell me what MFJX405 does I might be able to reproduce the issue, but since I have no idea what MFJX405 does and what is causing MFJx405 to return these errors I am not able to reproduce the issue. 220426 10570948      22072 CLASPRD  JCLCM0205I J0001155 SSTMJCL  MFJX405  FUNC=61/UNKNOWN RC=01006/UNLOCK-ES-NSM 10:57:09 220426 11224378      20236 CLASPRD  JCLCM0205I J0001155 SSTMJCL  MFJX405  FUNC=11/INFO-NEXT-DD RC=20028/UNKNOWN 11:22:43 220426 11224536      16712 CLASPRD  JCLCM0205I J0001155 SSTMJCL  MFJX405  FUNC=61/UNKNOWN RC=01006/UNLOCK-ES-NSM 11:22:45 These are the different error messages we are receiving: FUNC=06 INFO-FIRST-DD RC=10025 DD-IS-OPEN FUNC=06 INFO-FIRS

Hello everybody, my colleagues and I work with Visual COBOL (VC) for Eclipse 7.0 Version: 7.0.00247 under a host: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8350U CPU @ 1.70GHz, 8 cores, 15G,  Windows 10 , 64 bit.

jEDI that allows you to access the XML file as if it was a standard jBASE hashed file During a training class for jBASE, I was aided by Charles Barouch, Jenna Hernandez and Tyler McDonough in designing a jEDI to access XML files.I want to thank them for their contributions and the brainstorming session.  This blossomed into the jEDI attached to this post and may be handy for anyone needing to access XML files from jBASE. When run against a 500,000 record XML file with a size of 94Mb, it can access all the items in the file in just under 2 minutes.

The Rocket MultiValue team is pleased to announce the availability of the Rocket MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code 1.6.0 extension, now available on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.   Rocket MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS) allows BASIC developers to edit, compile, and now debug their BASIC applications in one of the most popular development environments, Microsoft Visual Studio Code.   The release of MVVS 1.6.0 includes a preview of the Debugging functionality.  By detecting and analyzing errors in your BASIC code, the Debugging feature makes it easy to debug and fix BASIC programs. The 1.6.0 Debugging feature is considered an MVP (Minimal Viable Product) and we will continue to enhance and refine it over a series of releases.   MVVS version 1.6.0 includes: Debugging (MVP* version) - version 1.6.0 allows debugging of BASIC programs when the extension is connected to a UniVerse server                                  Supported MVP Debugging Operations: Break Point Continue Step-In, Ou

I have just taken delivery of a new PC. On my old PC I have Visual Studio 2019 CE and VC PE.   I wish to continue COBOL programming on my new PC. As I understand it, there is not yet a VC PE which is compatible with Visual Studio 2022 CE, so I will have to install VS 2019. Is there still a link on this web site where I can apply for a VC PE license to use? Thanks

Hey RMV team,Do you have any project to adress d3 editing ?Or do we need to use another vsCode extension to adress it ?ThxManu Fernandes

Had a couple of D3 Linux systems who were having trouble getting host authentication to work on Linux version 8 systems authenticating to Active Directory Original test: Using AD user, got "invalid user or password" loop upon entering "d3" Using local user in /etc/password it worked   Findings: By default, AD integrated with PAM uses Windows GPO policies ( like local users, blah blah ) When you SSH and log into Linux, you are being authenticated with a token to AD, the user is run through the PAM SSHD module ( identical to D3 module ) When you enter "d3" at the bash shell to get into D3, it does a query against a different PAM module called d3 ( identical to sshd ). That PAM module ( d3 ) is not authorized to run PAM authentication. Consequently, it cannot query active directory with a token.   Solution: Add this line to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf: ad_gpo_map_interactive = +d3 You'll then need to reboot D3 and maybe Linux as well.------------------------------Brian S.

A common practice in legacy multi-value applications is/was to write controlling records to denote a user being logged in, or running a specific menu option.A problem with that design is if the program doesn't wrap-up normally (either due to a bug or the session was logged off or perhaps dropped into the debugger and the user aborted) the control record is left in place.jabba to the rescue!!A very useful feature of dynamic objects (written in jabba which is an extension to the jBC language) is that if a class has a destructor method, that method will be called when jBASE wraps up the work-space/session.Example:WRAPUP_TEST.b PROGRAM WRAPUP_TEST INCLUDE JWRAPUP_SESSION.h OPEN 'CONTROL' TO F.control ELSE STOP 201,'CONTROL' WRITE TIMEDATE() ON F.control,@LOGNAME LOOP CRT "Waiting to be killed...": INPUT cont,1_ CRT "We weren't killed....don't touch the keyboard" REPEAT The above program will write a timestamp to the file CONTROL for the logged in user name (@LOGNAME).

Compiling SQL statements containing group variable expansions can result in a compiler error. For example, consider the following PL/I code: EXEC SQL SELECT * INTO : FROM MYTABLE WHERE ( MYFIELD = :MYSTRUCT.FIELD1 ) ;  Attempting to compile the above code can result in the following erroneous exception: Severe MPLIE09995S : ES0130 Host variable MYSTRUCT.FIELD1 is part of a group variable expansion that is not supported in this type of SQL statement.

If the WaitInterval field is set to unlimited on an MQGET call, this will keep any files opened by the SEP locked and, therefore, will lead to locks on the file for any other SEP sharing this file. This lock is only released when the Run Time System takes control again, but that will not happen until an MQ message is received.  Full article: https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000006544#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs#EnterpriseDeveloper
