Hello COBOL Community! Last week, we brought together over 50 passionate COBOL enthusiasts right next to the iconic London Eye, and what a day it was! The event was packed with learning, experience exchange, and networking. While every modernization journey is unique, many of you face similar challenges. That's why being part of a community matters. It gives us a chance to learn from each other, find inspiration, and grow together. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed with insightful questions, ideas, and feedback. You made the day truly special. Here's a quick look at the key topics we explored: Rocket COBOL: Edge of TomorrowWe discussed COBOL's continued relevance and evolution, highlighting how modern tools including AI are expanding its capabilities and integration potential.

I patched to patch 026 a couple of days ago and my colleagues and I have noticed it no longer responds to Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H in the proc editor, and find and replace now require the right click menu.  This is continually catching me out, and I and winding up typing search strings into proc because Ctrl-F has not brought up the find window.  How do I get the shortcuts back? Is is an ini setting now gone missing or something else?  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to thank the creators and maintainers of RocketCE! My organization had acquired an HPC cluster based on IBM Power9, and RocketCE is the main way we can use it for ML-based research. We have recently started to look into quantization, and plan to use the official torchao library. However, torchao only supports recent versions of PyTorch (at least 2.5 for the current torchao 0.13, at least 2.3 for the very first version, torchao 0.0.1!). However, RocketCE includes PyTorch 2.1. I was wondering whether there are any plans to update the PyTorch version included in RocketCE, or whether anyone has managed to run any version of torchao with PyTorch 2.1. Thanks a lot, best!

To your collective knowledge are there any issues in sticking with 2019 for UV11.3.5? Many thanks.

Greetings All,  I am running into an issue when using Accuterm. I just switched my internet provider to Startlink.  Startlink for home use does not have a dedicated IP address so I am using a GL.Inet GL-SFT1200 router that I have a  wireguard tunnel running on the router. I also I can log in direct from my PC using Surfshark with a -dedicated IP with no issues when connecting. When using wireguard I am able to connect but get an error message - "WED requires AccuTerm 2000 or later to run!  "  I am also trying to print to port 9100 to the wireguard but have not gotten far on this.  Am I missing something in the set up?  Thank you in advance.

Do we have a version of U2 Toolkit for .NET Developer with U2.Data.Client that supports any .NET 6 or preferably .NET 8 applications? I'm struggling to find information on it.

What to do? As you do not get a lot of Patch Updates for Visual COBOL 7.0 for Visual Studio 2019 these days, help links still point to somewhere on microfocus.com It would be nice if they could work with the new home https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/bundle/visualcobol_dg4_70_html/page/GUID-CBF8DCDC-1F63-4C02-AC0C-7FABBE6A04AD.html I know help can be installed locally, but this is an additional support burden we would like to avoid if possible. Since this version is still supported, any plans to fix this in a PU?

Hello, what kind of input has to be used for the field "Find what"? Is it a plain text? Is it a regular expression? Is it a Uniface Systax string? When searching for "E00" i get results like : message/error $text(E003) call LP_LIMS("E0020", "MAX", KONZ_ARSEN.CHECK_EN) As i just want results like $text(E00x), i have searched for "(E00". But this gives no results at all? Any suggestions? Thanks Norbert------------------------------Norbert LauterbachInfraserv Gmbh & Co. Höchst KgFrankfurt DE------------------------------
