Hello Team, I am Currently in RM COBOL With ISAM File. We don't want to Use the ISAM Files anymore , So with Visual COBOL Migration How we can upgrade the ISAM File to Store in Database any RDBMS. Do you have any Tools or capabilities in VS COBOL which will directly connect to the RDBMS.  Please share a training video if you have.. Thanks.. #COBOLVISUALCOBOLMIGRATION

When Linux got rid of xinetd in version 9, changes had to be made to D3, particularly in the area of telnet listeners. This includes turnkey telnet (telnet to Linux and get a D3 login prompt instead of a Linux login prompt), nailed telnet (a range of TCP ports that each connect to a specific PIB instead of the next available PIB), as well as the MVSP telnet listener, typically on TCP port 9000. systemd replaced the xinded functionality and is now used by D3 to set up these listeners. Now that D3 over Linux version 9 has been out for a while, it has come to our attention that there are some things missing from D3's systemd configuration which is causing some D3 and Linux stability issues. We are currently working to get formal patches out to mitigate these issues. Meanwhile, the fixes we are implementing are listed below and can be implemented manually to alleviate the problem while we're waiting for the formal patches. ______D3 Turnkey Telnet Service______ To fix a standard D3 telnet l

Had some code doing strange things.  This is the example:      IF VAR1 = "UNKNOWN" THEN *   CALL SEND.EMAIL(ORDER.NO)   do other things      There was no END statement.  My best guess was that U2 considered the "*" at the end as a NULL and allowed it to compile. Does anyone know? We changed it to be the following to solve the problem.      IF VAR1 = "UNKNOWN" THEN       CALL SEND.EMAIL(ORDER.NO)       END   do other things      ------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

Hello, I wanted to ask if there is a possibility to use the zmf-explorer Extension in VS-Code and parallel the zowe-explorer.Zowe Profiles use a tokenValue, while ZMF Profiles use User and Password. I tried to make nested profiles, which works half. If I logon with authentication token in zowe, i am able to connect, but if I then try to logon in zmf, it asks the base profile username and password, and add it afterwards to the baseprofile, even though I didn't specify that the base profile should use username and password, instead only a tokenvalue.In the Profile itself I added "secure: ["user", "password"]" but it asks me nevertheless. in the CLI I can execute commands, but I don't get any answer back: PS S:\\> zowe zmf get pg PS S:\\>in the CLI there is the workaround to create a second baseprofile and specify every time which baseProfile to use, which works, but is't the solution I'd like to use long term.{ "$schema": "./zowe.schema.json", "profiles": {

We are in the process to migrate 30 millons LOC written in Cobol Micro Focus using embedded SQL for Oracle, to use PostgreSQL database. We know that there are some open source pre compilers like gixsql, but we are interested in the official support from Micro Focus, is there a supported pre compiler for PostgreSQL?#PostGRESQL#precompliler

It is not easy to find the correct commands to control excel interface. With the Macro Recorder it is very easy to find the VBA-Commands! Now i search a converter from VBA to Cobol? Thanks for help!

Hullo all. I hope the collective intelligence of the community can help guide us here. We have a large-ish program written & running under AcuGT (Extend) for Windows. It has a Windows UI. It is a real-time transaction processing engine with a UI to monitor and control the activity. So it runs in 2+ threads but its a single program. We want to split this into two programs: A transaction processing engine that runs as a Windows Service, so it launches on boot and is always running. No UI at all. A UI that interacts with the above program. Ideally we would just take the existing code - the current UI thread - and make minimal changes to it, so it will still be an AcuGT/Extend program. But users could launch/run it using AcuToWeb. We want to put minimal effort into this, as it does not extend the functionality of our product, it just solves some security + remote-access issues. It should not be too hard to simply split this one program (currently implemented as two threads) into

Hi, II have configured two systems; the first system has run time folder as swrun.16 and the second system has swrun.17. I want to install/register some components into the run time folder programatically.Could you please suggest a way how to dynamically determine the Runtime directory? Thanks, Aji Cherian

Hi all. We will be interacting with electronic labels, and the API is a bunch of restful web services, so we'll be using the RMNET routines.  I know the C$SOCKET functions are not "thread safe" because if you wait for a response, all threads will block (my manual tells me so!) but I was wondering about the RMNET routines.  Do they have the same limitation or can I launch a thread to do the API transaction, while the main function continues on?  The manual doesn't mention either way.

Hello, I was not able to figure out the issue , when im trying to integrate microfocus dlls and COBOL files to webapi c#  endpoint call. The below exception is throwing when executing cobol business logic.It's not working in webapi/wcf calls.It's executed only in winforms application.Could you please do help on this issue.Are these cobol dll integration work in web development?  

Hello, where can I find some examples for using the new 64 bit EHLAPI64.DLL with .net  program ? I have Rumba+ Desktop 10.2 SP1 and the old code with 32 bit version seems do not work anymore (even changed from "EHLAP32.DLL" to "EHLAPI64.DLL") Thank you very much.#Rumba+Desktop10.2#Rumba

I do not work with this program, but am trying to assist in a server migration that involved upgrading Syspro which utilizes Micro Focus components. Upon trying to run an install, I receive this error message: 0x81f40001 - Micro Focus COBOL Server 3.0 must be uninstalled before continuing.  I feel as if I have tried everything and removed everything I could find to no avail- I keep getting this error. Where does this live and how does one remove it?

I have found that signatures for components remain even after the component has been deleted.  I also, did not find a way to remove many signatures at once(except via sql). Is there an option or can this be added as a new feature? v10.04.01------------------------------Osman Shariff------------------------------

Patch 10.4.02-047 Downloads Product availability Matrix (PAM) Downloads of this patch are available from the Rocket Customer Support Portal. Further explanation can be found here. New Feature(s)The LM_REDUNDANT license option has been introduced. If you are using a pool of redundant RMS license servers and you are experiencing a delay of several seconds when Uniface is logging in to its licenses, then you can use this setting to have Uniface take of the login from Sentinel: determining which RMS server is the leader. This may help to reduce this delay significantly.The LM_TIMEOUT license option has been introduced. You can use it to set the Sentinel network timeout to the number of seconds that suits your needs. Sentinel has a default timeout of 30 seconds before it stops trying to reach an RMS server that can not be found, this can be too long. Also, when the LM_REDUNDANT license option is used in combination with a redundant RMS server pool, Uniface sets this timeout to t

Have you upgraded to either 11.4 or 12.2?  A while back I went from 11.3 to 12.1.  (In our case, we were motivated to jump because we were running on an old version of Windows server  that our system admins wanted to upgrade &, iirc, our version of 11.3 wasn't authorized for where they wanted to go.) We've had some I/O problems with 12.1 & it looks like Rocket is not really maintaining 12.1 with hot-fixes or enhancements & instead encouraged us to go to 12.2.    But now I see there is an 11.4.  And rumor has it there may be at least 1 more 12.1 I/O bug that hasn't been fixed yet in 12.2. We aren't really using any new 12.x functionality, & other than having to tweak some admin utilities that rely on things like LIST.READU which has changed,  I think we could go 'back' to 11.4 if that is a more stable release. The general question for people who are still on 11.3 is whether/why they should jump to 12.2 or 11.4?  TIA Chuck Stevenson ------------------------------Chuck S

Hi all I have a particularly disturbing situation that's just come about.I have BASIC code (source) which I compile in which I purposely place a DEBUG statement.Whereas before the DEBUGGER would provide me with the source code lines - I now am presented with the response:no source and sometimes get : * remote file system error Remote file has been moved or deleted The D3 account is in the FSI portion and the code is simply: 1< >debug <2 >crt 'hello' Any ideas (please)? p.s. Yes I bounced the D3 machine and the Linux machine and redid and got the same results.

What I am trying to achieve is the ability to transfer files from the PC to the mainframe as well as then deleting those files after the transfer. I have a solution, but would appreciate someone saying either "Yepp, that's roughly the way to go" or "No, MUCH simpler to do it this way instead" I started by creating a DOS BAT file containing the following echo on "C:\\Program Files\\BlueZone\\bin\\BZFTP.EXE" /Fmichael.zft /A"C:\\Users\\userid\\OneDrive - xxx\\BlueZone\\Transfer\\PCTOTSO.BTL" del "E:\\xxx\\userid.TEST.CLIST\\Beyond_compare_PC_and_TSO_files\\Merged_TSO_scripts\\BACKUP*" Michael is my standard configuration connnect file.PCTOTSO.BTL contains this scenario STOR "E:\\xxx\\userid.TEST.CLIST\\Beyond_compare_PC_and_TSO_files\\Merged_TSO_scripts\\BACKUP" TEST.CLIST(BACKUP) When I run this from a DOS window, I get prompted for my mainframe pw (as expected). The file is transferred as expected, and then Rocket waits for me to close the connection (I like the fact that I can see

Problem: How can one determine  how many parameters a COBOL program has been called with, for example "CALL 'A' USING A, B, C"? On the mainframe it is possible to use an Assembler program to search the save area chain  to find the previous save area and retrieve reg 1 from that save area.   How can this be done in COBOL? Resolution: This can be acheived by using the routine CBL_GET_PROGRAM_INFO() to walk back up the call stack.  This will determine how many parameters each program was called with.   See attached demo programs for an example of using this function.  These programs need to be compiled using the Non-Mainframe dialect in Mainframe Express 'proga' calls 'progb' with two parameters. 'progb' calls 'progc' to do the stack walking. cobol proga gnt; cobol progb gnt; cobol progc gnt; run proga Attachments: proga.cbl Old KB# 2555#MFDS#EnterpriseDeveloper
