Good morning, are there any manuals for Acucobol in Italian? Or is there an Italian company I can ask for documentation from?

Hi trying to find who to reach to and see how to buy 1 or 2 licenses of this legacy MF NetExpress 5.1 tool. Can you point me to who I need to get in touch to find pricing and possibility of buying. thanks

Hey everyone,As we step into 2026, one thing is certain: GenAI will remain a major topic this year. That raises an important question — how can you leverage GenAI to accelerate COBOL modernization?This question inspired our latest insights article:✅ When generative AI delivers real value in COBOL modernization, and when it can lead to dangerous hallucinations✅ How to address the skills shortage and improve knowledge transfer using GenAI✅ What makes Rocket Software’s approach to GenAI different, ensuring you get insights you can trust for your modernization projectsRead the full post here: The Role of Generative AI in COBOL Modernization | Rocket SoftwareIf you have any questions or want us to dive deeper into any of these topics, let us know in the comments. We’d love to hear from you!

Good evening,Is there any plan to release a version for the VSCode extension MVBasic for Mac users that allow Online Editing? Thanks in advance… 

We have many WebDE applicastions . We also use Wildfly(formerly JBoss) as our Java Appication Server. As such, we make use of RedBeans.jar and asjava.jar in order to make connections , create RedObject(s) RedField(s) etc. We also make use of the uObject ReadData, WriteData, DeleteData, ClearData, PostRead, PostWrite, PostCreateServerEvent methods and the uQuery Select method.I think WebDE with Microsoft ASP applications woild be similar.MVIS seems to not take into account the above. Universe says it now ships WebDE with MVIS but WebDE is also at its end of life. Also, WebDE only works with Java 8 so it is not keeping up with Java releases.There isn’t even a Forum for WebDE in this community.Does anyone else use WebDE with Wildfly or ASP? If so, are you concerned about the future of WebDE? Do you have plans for your WebDE applications and how you plan convert the uObject and uQuery methods once WebDE is end of life?

I would like to know if it is possible to get the current occurance using an ‘entity’ webtrigger. I can do this at field trigger level.  I can go up to a parent level to the occurance(as documented). When in a webtrigger at entity level, the ‘this’ is the entity and not the occurance.  There is no possibilty to go down to a child level(occurance).I can get all occurances for the entity or the nth occurance at entity trigger level.But there seems to be no property to get the current occurance at entity level.  I would have imagined it would be a basic need. What would be the solution to get the current occurance of an entity without using field level triggers. 

Hi Unifacers, I am currently visiting a Uniface VAR; we need to download an older Uniface version: U9.7.05.057 for 3 platforms: W32, W64, LID but unfortunately they seems NOT available anymore on official UnifaceRocket download site. I've tried to contact Amsterdam phone numbers reported on RocketSoftware web site (+31 (0) 786 322 800 or 0800 022 2961 (toll free)) with no success (Message answered: this number does not receive incoming calls). How to solve this issue? Thanks in advance. Regards,Gianni ------------------------------Gianni Sandigliano IT------------------------------

We used to install a run-time version of Uniface when we distributed the product to our customers.  Is this still an option in Version 10.04.xx?  Thanks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!Have you heard about some of the great new functionality available to you in the Mobius 12.5 release? (smart chat)I’d love to hear from folks on older versions. Which versions are you running?  What are your biggest challenges to upgrading?I used Document Direct for years and thought the move to a web version (Mobius View) would be painful, but honestly, it wasn't that bad, and I saw end-users adopt new features like favorites and indexing really quickly.

Hi everyone,I wanted to share a concise "blueprint" for modernizing legacy MultiValue systems without the high risk and cost of a full rewrite. We built an MV modernization framework, and developed a strategy to gradually evolve green-screen, terminal-oriented applications into API-driven architectures and applications using the Strangler Fig Pattern.Key highlights of this approach: No Data Migration: Keep your data exactly where it is while using Rocket MVIS to expose it via standard APIs. Leverage Existing Skills: No need to learn new languages or complex stacks; the framework builds directly on your existing MV logic. Minimal Risk & Cost: Modernize incrementally at a fraction of the cost of a migration. Team Renewal: A "symbiotic" model that pairs veteran MV experts with new-gen developers to bridge the talent gap. We’ve put together a short video walking through the architecture of the framework, and how to start the transition:Modernizing MultiValue Applications: The Ale

Creating a purge program.  First make a past on a stat file that has cust# and date to select appropriate records to purge into a “to purge” array (INSERT “AR”).Then, read through main file, using a locate on the array to determine if it was one selected.  If so, delete it.Issue is that the main file are from 1-5 records whose IDs begin with the cust#.  This file does not have a date to be used for purging.  The main file has almost 5M records.  The “to purge” array has 50k-150k cust#s in it.  The first pass to create the array from the stat file only takes 30 seconds even with 3M+ records.  However, reading through the main file, using a LOCATE (“AR”) is really slow.I would think that locating in the array would be faster than doing one pass on the main file and doing 4M+ reads on the stat file.   So, I was wondering if anyone had a better idea that would speed up the process.Universe v11.3.1.6022 running on AIX 7.2

Periodically, when I start up RDi 9.8.0.6, with the Rocket plug-in version 10.4.0.v202409041507, all my filters in the RDOi subsystem will be gone.Sometimes they will reappear if I create one new filter.Most of the time, however, I have to recreate my filters.The last time this happened (today), I noticed this in the .log file…!ENTRY com.aldon.team.core 4 4 2025-12-10 07:34:35.583!MESSAGE Error setting project, 'CATALOG'!STACK 0java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.etools.iseries.subsystems.qsys.api.IBMiConnection.getConnectorService(IBMiConnection.java:1823) at com.aldon.team.iseries.internal.cmsbridge.CMSBridge.isUseSSL(CMSBridge.java:450) at com.aldon.team.iseries.internal.HostAS400.creaeAS400(HostAS400.java:969) at com.aldon.team.iseries.internal.CMSConnection.<init>(CMSConnection.java:74) at com.aldon.team.iseries.internal.CMSConnectMgr.newCMSConnection(CMSConnectMgr.java:144) at com.aldon.team.iseries.internal.CMSConnectMgr.getCMSConnection(CMSConnectMgr.java:94) at com

Read this brochure to get a deep, technical look at how Rocket® Enterprise Suite enables low‑risk, incremental modernization of business‑critical mainframe applications—without the disruption of full rewrites. This document breaks down modernization strategies across infrastructure, process, and application layers, showing how teams can leverage APIs, automation, managed code models, and web services to extend and evolve existing COBOL‑based systems while preserving core logic and stability. You’ll also gain insight into why continuous modernization (“Infinite Flow”) is now the proven, analyst‑endorsed approach for reducing risk and accelerating delivery in complex enterprise environments. Read the full document here. 

Hi, we're actually running ChangeMan ZMF 8.3.0 and we're planning ChangeMan activities for next year. I've seen that ChangeMan 8.3.2 should be out in 2026 Q1 so I was searching informations about this version. Is there already a list of fixes and enhancements planned for 8.3.2? I would like also to ask where is the link for the ChangeMan ZMF versions / EOS dates matrix. Thank you. ------------------------------Stefano AntoniazziRaiffeisen Information Service------------------------------
