I am developing a COBOL application that will print checks. The application creates an .asc file containing the HP PCL printer language with all the information, including font type and size, that will be printed on the check. However, I am having a difficult time with the routing and account number line. More specifically, I am unable to print the routing and account number in the IDAutomation MICR font, which is the standard font used to print the routing and account number on checks. It instead prints in regular font.  I should mention that I print the .asc file through File\\print in Notepadd++ and not through the COBOL application. To be clear, the font is installed on the computer, and I am able to print a word document with said font. Here is what the .asc file containing the PCL code for the IDAutomation MICR font looks like: <ESC>(s1p10.0h12.0v0s0b24700T 12345 <ESC>(10U<ESC>(s0p12h12.0v0s0b0T   Explanation of the code: <ESC>(s1p10.0h12.0v0s0b

I installed Micro Focus COBOL for Visual Studio 2022. Everything is working except for when I push the enter key in a COBOL file. I get an error popup that says "The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error." I have reinstalled COBOL but the issue is still persisting.

Good morning, Error 9020 - Data fetch error has been occurring at one of our clients since the client performed, completely independently, an Oracle version upgrade from Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production to Oracle Database 12c Standard Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. A client 11.2, a U7 driver with Uniface 9.7 is used. The tables on which the error occurs have a field of type timestamp(6) in the key, and specifically the error occurs when microseconds are valued at zero. I would like to find, if possible, an application solution since telling the client to make changes to the db configuration is impossible.   Could you give me some suggestions? Thank you  Anna Lisa Coppola   ------------------------------Anna lisa CoppolaDevelopperDedalus Spa------------------------------

Hi!  I have a WPF datagrid in my program, which has an check box in it -  <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Active?" Width="100" >    <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>        <DataTemplate>            <CheckBox x:Name="PP_ACTIVE" IsChecked="{Binding XPath=@active, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" />        </DataTemplate>    </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> </DataGridTemplateColumn> I am reading data from a file that needs to set the check box if the field in the data is set to "X". How do I do this?  The SetAttributes command only works for String fields, and the CheckBox is a a Boolean field.  01 PAYPLAN_DG_XDOC type System.Xml.XmlDocument value new System.Xml.XmlDocument(). 01 DG_ITEM type System.Xml.XmlElement. SET DG_ITEM TO PAYPLAN_DG_XDOC::CreateElement

Hi all, Does anyone have experience using Uniface 10 on a laptop with a Snapdragon chipset? Snapdragon processors are based on the ARM architecture, while traditional Windows laptops usually use x86 or x64 processors (such as those from Intel or AMD).

The Rocket MultiValue team is happy to share that we've released version 2.5.0 of the MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS)!   You can now compile and catalog BASIC program files directly in Online Editing Mode, and even process multiple files simultaneously.  The benefits of online editing and compiling include simple sharing mechanisms, simplified build mechanism, access to modern IDE features and quick setup with pre-installed runtimes, SKDs, and dev tools in VS Online.    Currently, you can find this feature in the BASIC Developers Toolkit and we've included it for your convenience in MVVS. In addition, you can now customize the remote procedure call (RPC) service name (only in offline mode), if you don't want to use the default RPC service provided by the U2 server; for example, if you want a shorter timeout in this service call which saves resources.  You could also take advantage of this feature to improve security.  We've also included three bug fixes that increase ease of use:  

Hi, We recently encountered a data file corruption on key files. This was causing our app to fail. Does anyone in the forum have knowledge of any tools that will send email alerts once a new entry is logged into the \\U2\\unidata\\bin\\udt.errlog. Thanks in advance for recommendations. ------------------------------[Darren] [Johnson] [Australia][Snr Dev Engineer]------------------------------

SB/XA 6.6.1 is now available and includes a lot of smaller enhancements that add up to big improvements, especially if you have an IT group that requires software to work with or include current releases of other technology. For example, SB/XA 6.6.1 includes extensive upgrades to the Xceed DataGrid and the Xceed Toolkit, as well as upgrades to the .NET Framework. These upgrades empower SB/XA to work seamlessly with the latest version of the tools you rely on.  Xceed DataGrid v7.2 (from v5.3)  Xceed Toolkit v4.8 (from v4.5.1)  Both upgrades provide you with a decade or more of incremental performance and stability improvements. And SB/XA 6.6.1 is using versions of the Xceed DataGrid and Xceed Toolkit that are covered by Xceed support.  We've upgraded the .NET Framework to v4.8 (from 4.5). This highly compatible upgrade includes improvements made to the Framework over the last decade.    Finally, SB/XA 6.6.1 includes a roll up of all the hot fixes we've made since SB/X

Hi Uniface, with Uniface 10.4.02 the timestamp fileds are back in the repository for all tables. This was the wish of the community users. After 2 years the new fields have still the value NULL. For me it looks like this should be a kind of "copy and paste" to fill this timestamp fields. If you habe 5 Procs changed in UPRC and export and import one of them from development to production, then the timestamps in ULIBPRC for development and production are identical. No chance to see that there are 4 more Procs that have to be transported from development to production. When will those fields be filled with life?

Using a BASIC program, I need to read filenames and file dates from an AIX directory and compare them with names and dates held in UniVerse records. If the files are present among the UniVerse records then they need to be moved out of the directory and more files added from another directory. Any advice or code snippets much appreciated.

i have download today visual cobol 10. by compiling my programs without errors on Visual Cobol 9, i become now the error COBCH0314 - illegal key on datio.cpy  may be the command "start Datei key not less DATEI-Key0 or "start DATEI key not greater DATEI-Key0 Where can i found if there are new service packs for Visual cobol? is this a bug? no Problem with Netexpress 5.x or vc8 or vc9 thanks for help

Hello there community, I'm installing iCluster, but the client asked me which ports we need to open for security purposes. The ones we have on the list are 4545,446,447,448. Second question.- During the installation the system shows me this screen (never seen in other installations) Everything seems to work when the product is installed, but when we try to replicate it, it just never happens... Do you have any idea or recommendation of what could be happening?------------------------------Abraham Buen AbadConsultantHyperflex TechnologiesMexico MX------------------------------

Hello, I'm trying to migrate an application from Visual Cobol / Linux / Oracle to Visual Cobol / Linux / Postgres. Visual Cobol use openEsql to precompile sources with SQL, and need to used ODBC driver to connect to postgres database. But i've got this error :  ORDER : OPEN CURPARMODMESSAGE SQL : ERROR: column eg_parmod.oid does not exist; I work with PG13. Do i need to change my database physical model ? Who needs oid ? OpenEsql ? ODBC (I use postgresqlodbc 13.02 driver) What is the solution to use my default database physical model ? thank you for your help. Laurent.

in the example i can see any changes in the syntax 1. colonconlonsyntax.cbl move 5 to v::x move 3 to v::y 2. localvariables.cbl declare result as numTd = ws-num1 + ws-num2 3. mergesort.cbl see arr::numbers-length, section with Parameters, declare 4. Parameterizedsection.cbl section with Parameter fibonacci section (n as binary-long) returning result as binary-long. i know this possibility from SAP ABAP, but never seen before in cobol is there a complete list of all changes on cobol syntax and the new possibilities? Thanks in advance cg

Status: AcceptedThemeIn this case, we would like to exclude the Lib type from ERO processing that we have set up for the package audit report. WhyThat would be interesting for us because we often have completed the area editing and testing but still have to redraw the package audit report and then insert it again through areas that have already been approved.

Hi Freaks UnifAce gave us a few function to check the database modus of various "things" like $formdbmod $instancedbmod $occdbmod $fielddbmod But I need a $entdbmod() which will check if any occurrence of a entity is modified.Okay, I can code a loop over all occurrence and whith the first $occdbmod() I leave the loop with true.But i'm worried that it might take a while. :-)Any other ideas?Ingo $entdbmod()------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------
