Hi.  The manual for Acucobol Extend, int eh Debugger and Utilities section for Indexed file record editor (alfred) just says this: You can download detailed information on using alfred in PDF format from the Support > Examples and Utilities > ACUCOBOL-GT® Technical Articles and Tips page on the Micro Focus Web site (www.microfocus.com). That is referring to the old website before it was revamped.  Anyone know where the alfred guide is now?

Has anyone been able to get the cursor to blink in an entry field?#cursor#blink

Is it possible to extract the content from a web page that gets displayed in the browser control. I want to open a web page using a URL and its parameters, then get the data being displayed in a table (see screen shot below)

I am trying to run an AcuCobol software application through Remote Desktop Services on a Windows Server 2019. The Remote Desktop Services collection has been successfully deployed. I added the wrun32.exe program to the list of allowable programs using the full network path and then published it. I see it on the Remote Desktop Website. I downloaded the .rdp icon on the remote machine through the Remote Desktop Website. I then change properties of that .rdp icon through Notepad on the local user machine to include the necessary parameters that the software app requires to run (C:\\Acucorp\\AcuGT\\bin\\wrun32.exe -C C:\\ETC\\GUICONFIG User_Login 001 Main_Menu). This works fine on the local server. I just can't get it to run on the remote machine which accesses this server thru RDS.  I get the error as follows: Windows cannot start the RemoteApp program.  The following RemoteApp program is not in the list of authorized programs:  wrun32.exe.

So.  Was using rment, it was working.  Tweaked the command slightly (the request string part of httppost) and now, instead of status zero, I am getting status 1.  The original response that comes back is still correct.  When I check the error description, using NetGetError, it gives back "no error, don't panic!".   So does this mean both zero and 1 status mean a successful request/response?  Can't find any list of errors in sample/rmnet or sample/def or in the manual. Confused in Canada...

Hi everyone.  This is more for your information than a question.   Since the manual says the KEYSTROKE table is maximum of 170 entries, and I was having some issues, I wondered if the table updated existing entries when a key was changed, or if it was just a log which the runtime searched to see the most recent entry.   I did some testing and table entries get updated so it's not a "log", it's a table. I built a little program to test input and exception keys.  I added a loop to set/reset the kr key back and forth between two values.  Did that 100 times for 200 entries into the table.  Set the kr one more time after the loop, and that's the value I got.  So the table updates entries for various keys, it's not a log where you read everything to find the most recent change.

I'm posting this mostly to let others know about my findings.  If anyone knows a way around this, please, post a reply! As it turns out, my research shows that a format-1 accept (even in gui) can be controlled by the keystroke variable, so you can set up to get an exception value.  However, if you use an ENTRY-FIELD control, the left/right keys are trapped by windows and the field cannot be exited (just like the manual says).   Note: I'm just trying to get one character, including any function/movement keys. I cannot use the W$GETC (won't work for my application).  I've been using the format-1 accept, but I've been running into issues where the active window does not get processed the same when not using the entry-field, even though I use the SET I-O WINDOW to xxx, before doing the accept.   As a result, in my application, clicking the minimize button triggers some handling which does a switch to the main window, check if any mouse movement using form

Created On:  20 June 2011 Problem: How do you print Barcodes using AcuCobol? Resolution: The best option is to get hold of a barcode font. If you install this on a computer, activate it in your application, you can just send the normal sequence of characters to the printer (provided you go via the spooler) and the font will care for the rest, simple, efficient and neat. A barcode font may be purchased or obtained for free. Search on the internet for font and barcode.Requirements in order to print using a barcode font:1.  Print via the spooler.2.  Install the barcode font.3.  Load the barcode font using the W$FONT routine.4.  Make the barcode font active using WINPRINT-SET-FONT.5.  Send the character sequence to the printer.  The font driver will then translate this into the barcode.

Can part of all of modifiable fields be copied ? On the image only the first line in blue can be copied.

Is it possible to launch a program via AcuToWeb and pass variables to the program via the URL? Example: the user is on a web page (HTML CSS, not AcuToWeb) that displays a list of departments. The user clicks on a department. We want to call a Cobol program to display or modify that department. We need to pass the department number to the program via the URL, e.g.: myhost:3000/&dept=ABC Thanks.

Hi all, We want to prevent users from running more than instance of the same app. In other words, only one instance of  the app should be allowed at any given time. Is there a way to do it through compiler options or only at OS level? Thank you. 

Can I extract in a program the following: "C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\extend 10.4.1\\AcuGT\\bin\\wrun32.exe" And if I update to a new version will it automatically get the new version?
