Hi, is it possible to know the encode of a string in cobol?

I am using UODOTNET, Version=3.171.0.8100 in my ASP.NET webapi project to connect InfoLease. I would like to know do we required "Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC and OLE DB Driver"  to connect to InfoLease using UODOTNET?

We have been implementing an upgrade from Visual COBOL 2.3.2 to COBOL 8.6 and have been utilizing it within our development environment from Visual Studio.  We have now moved to our TFS server which is 14.114.26403.0 (Tfs2015.Update4) running on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. Initially our TFS build was failing due to the missing COBOL version in our project files however after this was updated, we received errors relating to the MicroFocus.COBOL.CurrentVersion.targets.  The first issue was with the same version error, however after fixing the version configuration in the targets file we are running into more issues with the builds.  Before I go modifying anything else to have this working, I'd like to ensure I am going along the right path. What I have done so far: Created an offline Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise layout with all of the required packages.  Installed Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise Performed all of the steps in https://www.microfocus.com/do

by Dongbo Zhang We are excited to announce a significant update to the Uniface ProcScript language that brings powerful new features to enhance both the security and efficiency of your applications. Our commitment to providing you with top-notch solutions has driven us to integrate Base64URL encoding and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECIES, ECDSA, and Ed25519) into $encode and $decode functions. Base64URL Encoding: Simplifying Data Handling Base64URL encoding is a URL-safe variant of the traditional Base64 encoding. It allows you to represent binary data safely in text format, making it ideal for use in URLs, JSON, and other contexts where you need to avoid certain characters. With Base64URL encoding supported by $encode and $decode, you can seamlessly exchange data in a more efficient and secure manner. Elliptic Curve Cryptography: A Leap Forward in Security Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is an approach for asymmetric key cryptography, offering versatile applications in both encrypt

My customer has a device that only communicates via COM ports...how does Acu-COBOL Extend handle this?  And it doesn't have to be with the API if a better way is available.#AcuCobol#COBOL

We have been running the same software for several years using AcuCOBOL runtime 10.2 on a Windows network with an Oracle database. Everything is fine without error and then randomly we get an error that gives very little information.  Just a message that says "ProgramName: Not a COBOL Program".  Any idea what would case this? 

Hi, I am hoping someone on here has played with RTE using z/OS zCX containers.    I currently have RTE WE 10.1.5.0065 running successfully under z/OS V2.5 in USS with IBM supplied NODE.JS version 18.14.2. My question is about running RTE in a z/OS ZCX container as documented in the administrators guide. For the zCX container, I have s390x/node.js V20 docker image downloaded s390x/node - Docker Image | Docker Hub here. However, what is not clear in the admin guide is whether or not I need to use the extracted download image for z/OS USS which is the larger .pax file on your website, or do I use the extracted .tar file instead?  I think the Linux .tar download is what I need, and have been using to create the docker image. I actually had the docker build run successfully with the .tar version, but had issues because the first s390x/node.js package was the "slim" version, which i hadnt noticed, and doesnt contain everything needed. RTE startup had errors, and i couldnt connect to it, so I

Status: New IdeaI am using both VSC and IDz to do various tasks (create/edit JCL, create/edit REXX, etc.) that are easier in an IDE than just connecting to the green screens via a terminal emulator package. However, I cannot find context menus to perform ADMIN functions (stub submit jobs, check baseline or staging libraries, etc.). Is this something that you can look into? I realize it's probably a limited use case, but it would sure make my life easier...#ZMF#ZMF4ECL

Hi Please, could you clarify me the following doubt(s)? From Product Support Lifecycle for ChangeMan ZMF v8.2 product, the Current Maintenance End Date is now 30 Sep 2025. www.screencast.com/.../mf4fvc6vE7Y On the other hand, in the platform matrix document for each patch release for this version shows Operating system platform supported. For instance, z/OS 2.5 is supported for ChangeMan ZMF v8.2 patch 06 but I am not sure if this Changeman version is/will be supported in z/OS 3.1 Since the Current Maintenance End Date is now 30 Sep 2025, how can I know if I need to upgrade my ChangeMan ZMF v8.2 if the z/OS is upgraded (for instance, from z/OS 2.5 to z/OS 3.1)?. Apparently, now I would not need to upgrade my ChangeMan v8.2 version. isn't like that? (Well, it is always advisable to ask to support before making a change of this caliber).   Thank you Regards Manuel#ChangeManZMF
