Last week, I had the pleasure of delivering the keynote at the Rocket Software Future of COBOL event, held just off the Champs-Élysées in a truly stunning venue in the heart of Paris. COBOL Day brought together members of our COBOL community to share experiences, learn from each other's modernization journeys, and explore the future of Rocket Visual COBOL and Rocket ACUCOBOL products.. Key topics we covered included: Move to Rocket Software and the Future of COBOL: We explored the ongoing relevance and evolution of COBOL. A special focus was placed on how modern environments and tools—including AI—are extending COBOL’s lifespan and enhancing integration with current technologies. It was a great to share our vision and what’s ahead for Rocket Visual COBOL and Rocket ACUCOBOL. New Functionalities in Rocket Visual COBOL and Rocket ACUCOBOL: Participants got a first look at the latest features and enhancements now available in Rocket Visual COBOL and Rocket ACUCOBOL.

The Zena window client can sort processes by status color (red for failed, orange for hold, green for active, blue for completed). We'd like the Zena web client's operations tab to have the same sorting capability. This would help operators quickly identify problems. The current alphabetical sorting is not practical for this purpose.  Below is the current sort for zena web client. 

Hi Are there any known issues with using C$LOCKPID on Red Hat.  When doing CALL C$LOCKPID GIVING W-PID, if I step through the call in the debugger, it initially gets he the correct PID and then on exiting the READ, W-PID is immediately reset to 0. It is working fine on SUSE Linux, so just checking if its a known issue, or f there is a workaround.  thank you------------------------------Mathew SevitzDeveloperDsv South Africa Pty LtdWitfontein ZA------------------------------

When doing REST calls with MVIS, I understand how the u2version field works, get it when you read, and then send it back on updates so that MVIS can know if the record has been updated since you read it, implementing optimistic locking.  Wondering if there is a function that can be called from U2/PICK Basic to generate this same value manually.  We are working on some custom PICK code to read/write data in response to MVIS calls.  We'd like to use the same concept with the u2version field but calculated via PICK code on a certain item in PICK/U2.  We'd like to be able to generate this field manually for reads and then verify it on updates.  Should only add a couple lines of code to our existing routines if there is a way to easily do this from PICK.  Looks like maybe the CHECKSUM function would do this, just wondering if this would generate the same value as MVIS u2Version. EDIT: After doing some experiments with CHECKSUM looks like we might be able to do

Hello team, I have a customer reporting that "the first time I tried to run a Visual COBOL executable on our new server, Windows threw an error like the one below." and asking: Is there some trick to getting this to not occur? Initial research I've just done on smartscreen shows:  Microsoft Defender SmartScreen flags a program as "unrecognized" when it lacks a sufficient reputation or is not widely known to Microsoft's security database. This can happen due to: Low Distribution: The program is new, has limited downloads, or is not commonly used, so SmartScreen hasn't built a trust profile for it. Missing Digital Signature: The program lacks a valid digital signature from a trusted certificate authority, which verifies the publisher's identity. Suspicious Behavior: The program exhibits characteristics similar to malware, such as unusual file modifications, network activity, or code obfuscation. New or Modified Files: A recently compiled or updated program may not yet be recognized by

I am working on a project to migrate cobol applications from IBM to Enterprise Server.  In our current IBM environment, we us IBM's (Websphere) MQ product to interface to/from Microsoft Biztalk.  I see that Enterprise Server supports MQ.  My question is:  is the MQ in Enterprise Server only meant to be used to connect with MQ on a mainframe or can it be used to replace the IBM MQ functionality for applications migrated off of the mainframe?------------------------------Bruce CheatwoodBWXTLynchburg VA US------------------------------

Hi, I previously inquired about the impact of upgrading our Red Hat Enterprise OS from version 7.4 to 7.9 on our LGU license. Now, I am planning to upgrade from 7.4 to 8.10 and perform a DNF update. Can you please confirm if there will be any issues with our Visibroker license after this upgrade? Thank you!------------------------------Ki Suk NamBusiness DptShiwa Soft Co., Ltd.seoul KR------------------------------
