Rocket® ACUCOBOL®

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 18 December 2006]We have clients with networking backup software that backs up different servers during the night. We also have some Acucobol processes that process during the night. We can try to managing the scheduling, but that is not always 100% sure, particularly with Net access and world wide users.There are two issues: 1. Insuring a good backup 2. Managing the fact that a file may be temporarily unavailable. In our case we are sometimes getting a FAE 23 Error during the time the backups are taking place.It is also possible that virus scan software might cause the same problems.What suggestions do you have for managing this situation.

The dlls will not be held in the Global cache.I have a couple of queries.Is there any way to know where the WRUN32 was launched from? I would like to be able to create NetEvents.INI in the Cobol Install directory.Where would you expect to find NetEvents.ini when running ThinClient? On the server, or on the Client, sharing a directory with ACUTHIN.EXE?ThanksLinda

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 December 2006]I have a problem with a screen display. We have a search field that accepts last name then a push button to search. If after pressing the push button the search is invalid, how do I return control to the entry field for the search. Currently the control stays on my push button. I have added the following after the invalid read has completed: move 11 to control-id move 4 to accept-control move 1 to control-value With 11 being the control-id of the entry field.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 December 2006]We start our first program with an initial screen setting. After that all other screens are opened as floating screens. When we are at our initial screen and we hit the escape key our program closes without performing any other procedures. I have added several steps in exectption event other an in our event where we stop the thread and when I try and run through debug as soon as escape is pressed the screen closes and no other steps in the program are executed.Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 20 November 2006]We have a couple of applications that call C programs to perform read of data through IP ports. ex. audio response system a person makes a request in the cobol program, a c program is running in background looking at a pipe file and then sends data over the internet to a server, c program waits for response and dumps incomming data into an input pipe that the cobol probram has open and reading.We are having big problems with the C programs mainly we are all Cobol programmers and have to contract out the C.Does anyone have an idea if this can all be done through cobol or is there another way that someone is doing it?Thanks

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 23 November 2006]Is it actually possible ? It seems that some of the MAPI32 Library functions need to pass arguments BY REFERENCE. The Acuconnect User's guide states that you may never pass a pointer by reference under thin client.Anyone figured out how to accomplish this ?Thanks

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 10 August 2004]Reading data via AcuODBC from the ADO.NET ODBC data provider works fine, and acucorp has a VB.NET example of this in their downloads area.However, there are problems when trying to implement more advanced features of the OdbcDataAdapter to allow dataset/datatable updates to persist back to the AcuODBC datasource. For instance in Visual Studio.NET 2003, when you drop an OdbcDataAdapter component onto your form, a handy wizard appears allowing you to specify your connection object, and to specify your select query, which in turn will generate four command objects for you: select, insert, update, and delete command objects. This is very helpful. The problem is that the wizard seems to be unable to retrieve the schema from the AcuODBC driver correctly and the paramater collections for the command objects cannot be created, which appears to stop the insert, update and delete command objects from rendering. The wizard actuall

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 10 November 2006]I recently read Gisle's "When I'm 64" article in Acucorp News(www.acucorp.com/.../featured_6.php). The articles states:The 64-bit architecture implies that Windows supports 32 GB of memory, with a theoretical limit of 16 TB. Yes, that’s right—16 terra bytes.Is this correct? 16 TB is 2^44, whereas 2^64 is 16 EB(Exabytes). So, shouldn't it "in theory" be 16 EB? Am I incorrect? I'm just being curious as 16 TB and EB are numbers so large that we'll never use or create applications that require, nor have PC's with that much virtual memory in our lifetime. :-) Or will we? Hmm.....
