This may be my ELI5 moment, but I'm trying to make a correct list Visual Studio 2019 -- 32-bit product, Visual Cobol 7 for Visual Studio 2019 -- 32-bit product Visual Studio 2022 -- 64-bit product, Visual Cobol 9 for Visual Studio 2022 -- 32-bit product (installed to program x86) Visual Studio 2022 -- 64-bit product, Visual Cobol 10 for Visual Studio 2022 -- ??-bit product Why do I wonder this ? We use Oracle with pro*cob precompiler and depending on your solution you need an instant client of the correct type 32/64. Having a 64-bit solution with a 32-bit product comes with a performance cost so you usually avoid that. We also use Toad, nowadays a 64-bit product. Normally not a problem unless you want to configure proxy logins which requires a thick client, not the built in. Now you need 32 and 64-bit Instant Clients on the same machine which is a configuration problem since VS/VC want one thing and Toad another. It would be nice to be all 64-bit and able to ignore that headache. So

These same screens displayed correctly in uniface 10.3. When you zoom into these editboxes you can see the underscores. On the same screen i have a unifield painted and it displays underscores correctly.------------------------------Marcus ThorpeDepartment of Education & Training------------------------------

Im wondering how it is possible to have the text of an error or informational message using the 'message' keyword or 'askmess' keyword be controlled by variables and not literal text.  We have a need where the contents of the message could change based on location of a file, for instance.  Consider the following example of what I would like to be able to do.  We would use the message in s_log_text to both display a message on the screen to the user, as well as write the text to a log file. s_log_text = "File '%%s_filename%%%' saved successfully."message/info s_log_textactivate "sl_logfile".o_write(s_log_text, s_log_filename) Right now, if I were to execute this, the message box appears blank.  The only way I can seem to get this to work so far is to type out the text literally between double quotes, duplicating what is in s_log_text, with possible inconsistencies.  Is it possible to do what I want above?------------------------------Tim ColvinSmyth Retail Systems Inc.Alliance OH US---

hi, May I introduce a suggestion to help the program runtime to check the type of a variable and not crash. There is already a function DESCRINFO(1,variable) which return the type of the variable ; so some type c.f. descrinfo() doc ref  on sellist, pyobject, udo, do, xdom, ... descrinfo() return -1 ...  I'll suggest to implement more descrinfo result value like 11=sellist, 12=pyobject, 13=udo, 14=do, 15=xdom, ... and by extension, if request_code = 2,  descrinfo return a DO with polymorph properties aka. metadata about the variable.  with kind regards------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

hi, when I try this : var = '' try var->$objecttype() catch e print 'error ':e->$tojson() endtry print 'finished' the error is not cached, the program terminate with echo bad self type: 2 and @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE = -1  Same behavior with the $fromjson(), $tojson() ...  any idea ? ------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

We have an issue where the column sizes of grids don't store in the registry.  The keep layout is set to default, and the storage is set to component. The grid layout is set ON. I have recently found an updated .ini setting in LAYOUT SaveContainedForm and I have set that to on.  We do have some fields painted which are for data storage, rather than display, so they are set to hidden and then the whole column is hidden using $columnsyntax as part of the initialisation routine. I seem to recall something about this preventing column sizes of the other fields being stored. Is that still the case?  We did have a home grown function in 'column_resized' and 'viewport_resized' to store the layout in a separate registry key if the columns were hidden (using the 'VISIBLE' grid property), but we were informed it was likely the cause of crashes, so it's been edited out. So, is there a good method of getting the system to store the column sizes of the visible columns of a grid widget where (for UI

My customer, UniVerse 13.5, is running on Nashville Metro Government's internal cloud.  The network security is so restrictive that it is difficult to get work done for the customer.  I have requested information from the "mypickcloud" website but have received no response.  Does anyone know if that cloud still exists and if so how to contact them.  If they do not exist does anyone have recomendations on other clouds where UniVerse could reside?  I have looked at AWS website and am buffaloed by the complexity of their options.  I would simply want to move my customer's system and data to a cloud server for day-to-day operations.

Hi, I am changing an existing, working Oracle Pro*Cobol, Visual COBOL program. I was able to change 2 .cpy COPY files and compile. I was able to change 1 .cob INCLUDE (EXEC SQL) file and compile. Now, whatever I change in any .cob file, I systematically get the same compiler errors: COBCH0562 : An "ELSE" phrase did not have a matching IF and was discarded. COBCH0564 : A scope-delimiter did not have a matching verb and was discarded I have tried everything I could think of up to introducing my changes again line per line but with the same result. I am desperate and out of ideas. Did any of you ever experience something similar and what was your solution?

Hi All,We recently upgraded our primary contract management system to a new version running on Uniface 10.3.2.4. We have been live since the 23rd July and have seen a huge increase in the number of Uniface sessions which are hanging/crashing on the Windows servers.Server SpecWindows 20198CPU, 20Gb RamOracle Client 19c 32BitUniface 10.3.2.4Application distributed via CitrixDB Repository is Oracle 19c on Solaris 11User sessions run 'ok' but many people see session freezes and some see crashes. On the servers we are seeing MiniDump files being created for some users. The dump files can be huge and often fill the local drives meaning a constant battle to keep the servers running.on server 1 there is 149 since go liveon server 2 there is 168 since go liveon server 3 there is 156 since go liveExample dumpsThis far we have not been able to pinpoint the issue and we are running our of alternative methods to trace/debug it. Are there any Uniface tools or other tools that we could use to better
