I am trying to query AcuXDBC from PowerShell. Here is the PowerShell script: $SqlCommand = "select * from kund;" $conn = new-object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection$conn.connectionstring = "DSN=acuxdbc"$conn.open() $cmd = New-object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($sqlCommand,$conn) $dataset = New-Object System.Data.DataSet $results = (New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($cmd)).Fill($dataSet) Write-Output $results$conn.Close() But I get this error: Exception calling "Fill" with "1" argument(s): "ERROR [HY000] [TOD][ODBC][GENESIS](pos: 19 '... * from kund^;') - syntax error" The same query from odbcsql runs ok. Any ideas?#Windows10#CommandPrompt#AcuXDBC

Hi everybody The web browser control works with Internet Explorer that has lot of problems, the most important: - Poor HTML5 support - Very old JS engine - I think it's no more supported by Microsoft (they moved to Edge) There is any way to set web browser to work with a different engine?

I am trying to add some logic to my embedded sql by using an sql variable EXEC SQL RELAXED    DECLARE @PARM1 AS INTEGER    SELECT        CUSTOMER_KEY    INTO        :CUSTOMER_KEY    FROM [db_owner].[CUSTFILE]    WHERE ( CUSTOMER_KEY = CUSTOMER-KEY)    ORDER BY CUSTOMER_KEY END-EXEC The compiler reports; -->ERROR: syntax error at AS Compiler switches are; ccbl32 -Di -Zd -w -Zl -Zr -Pr -Ps -La -Li -Lf  Is there anyway around this?

We have an anti-fraud request from HMRC to supply the current screen size in pixels. How do we do this? Thanks

Hi all, We are using the Acu report generator for creating reports. The created report (an html file) is printed to a third party PDF printer (cute PDF, Bullzip PDF etc). As I understand, the AcuBenchPrint.dll uses Internet Explorer functions to print or preview the file.  Up to recently, if report filename was eg. jack.html, resulting PDF filename was jack.pdf. Some weeks ago, our Win 10 computers were updated to 2021-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 20H2 (KB5001330). Since then, resulting PDF filename is random eg. DF540OP.pdf. Keeping the original filename is very important for our applications. Is there any solution to this? Thank you.

Can Source be created from a Executable? In my previous jobs we could do this on a IBM S38 many years ago.I have a small program that Unicon gave us that is used in Date Routines. Works fine but in case we run into trouble I would like to take look and fix it if possible. I Talked to Masoud from Unicon and he does not have the source either.  Currently on Version 10.3.1. The program is called "50" in case someone has the source.

Hello,We have a program that is throwing a memory access violation, when being ran from a script on a Linux server. When we run the program in debug on the same server, it runs through, no problem. The same exact program and script run on AIX with no issues.Could anyone suggest a solution, or the best way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks...

HiI try to used microsoft exchange with winbmail but i do not find the correct information to enterThank you 

Could you please point me to the latest most detailed documentation on getting AcuXDBC 32 bit version 10.3.1 working with a 32 bit version of MS SQL Server Management Studio Linker Server I am hoping/expecting that MS SQL server will overcome the restriction that I am encountering when using MS Access in that I can only read in 256 columns. I have attached a word document showing my current setup in which I am employing a version 9.01 ACUXDBC . It may be better simply to provide the info on exactly step by step it should be done rather than trying to work out what I have done wrong.

HiThis feature will disable the underscore for a label when using an '&'.Is there an environmental configuration for this, instead of changing all programs to add this properties (NO-KEY-LETTER) to the labels. I have looked, but just I case I missed it. Thanks!!Dennis

I am trying to implement FAST_FORWARD in an AcuSQL implementation. When i use the following syntax;EXEC SQL RELAXED DECLARE cursor_name CURSOR FAST_FORWARD...I get the following error;syntax error at FAST_FORWARDIs there anyway i can implement FAST_FORWARD using AcuSQL?Here is the Microsoft SQL Documentation for referencehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/language-elements/declare-cursor-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15

After upgrading to Extend 10.3.1, we experience very long response times when reading large indexed files.Environment: Debian server running Acucobol (acurcl runtime). Windows PC connect using acuthin.exe.We have a search function reading all records in an indexed file containing more than one million records. First search takes 10-15 minutes and the user thinks that the search routine died or even receive message "The remote server is not responding". Second search is done within 10-15 seconds!It seems to have something to do with linux, because even if we close the application and restart it, a new search is still done within 10-15 seconds.We also had this problem in version 9.1, but not at all to that extend. First search was done within a few minutes.Does anyone have a clue on how to optimize initial read of a large indexed file on linux?

 Hi Shjerpe,the previous post locked me out as my keyboard had an issue and replied many many time. In Excel it comes back in alphabetical oder.Much to my complete disbelief as initially I am certain that I ticked off every column left to right against what I saw in my cobol code that uses the xfd. Suddenly the next day its alpha, but at least I got all the columns I believe even though it mentioned truncation (I couldn't see any) MS Access is listing in the correct order but is limited to 256 columns and I have over 1000 I have rebooted, restarted trying to get back.  I will say it seems to be doing a "preview" that I don't recall it doing first time around.

I am sure the first few times I used my DSN with AcuXDBC version 10.3.1 driver 64bit the data from my vision file imported in the same order as the file definition (xfd).  Now everytime it is bringing it in with the column names shown alphabetical order which I do not want. Any ideas?I see also that MS Access still has 256 column limit? I will try MS SQL server linked server so any recent documentation on AcuXDBC and linked servers in MS SQL would be handy. ThanksJim

I am using C$SYSTEM to call the Adobe reader.

I have an idea for a service.  It would accept incoming network connections but instead of launching a cobol-thread to process the socket that gets created, it would need to start a separate process, with a new runcbl session.   I've figured out how to pass enough information that the new-process could open a socket back to the service, and together they could handle the communication, but this would basically duplicate all the traffic going in/out of this server, because the information would have to be copied back and forth between the service and the new runtime.   Do-able, but inefficient.  Thus the desire to pass a socket handle to the newly started runtime and let it handle the communication by itself. This will normally be running on a linux server, but it would be nice if windows was also an option.#CSOCKET

Hello to all of you,my native language is not English, but I hope you will understand me. I do my best, and hopefully, you can help me a little.I have asked the MF Support, but I'm not that happy with the answers or better said not-answers. They told me there was a similar error with AcuServer, that should be fixed in Acu 10.0.1 and ask for a trace log when the error occurs, but we don't know where this error come from, and we can't reproduce at will.We are using AcuCobol GT-Runtime (10.0.1) (without AcuServer as far I know) under Linux and have a problem with TM-files in our working directory getting that large until the hard drive is full. The files are beginning with "TM" followed by six random letters and numbers.We found TM-files at another customer server using Acu 8.1.3, most of them have size zero, but some are contain data records we think to know. So, in my opinion these are kind of swap files and the records can A) not be written to a file (indexed, line sequential) or B) be

Need some ideas to get rid of more hardcoding. Currently when we post to the ledger from sales all the accounts and what amounts to use are hardcoded in the program. As I am trying to get rid of as much hardcoding as I can I am look for an idea or if someone has already solved this via some kind of file layout or ?? Some of the amount are added, some are subtracted.Here is one example. MOVE SPACES TO LEDGER-REC REPORT-LINE.MOVE 1020 TO GL06-ACCOUNT.MOVE "DM" TO GL06-COMPANY.IF PASS-COMPANY = "DM"COMPUTE GL06-AMOUNT = SA05-MTH-LIST-PRICE                                                        SA05-MTH-FRT-PORTION                                                        SA05-MTH-ACCRUAL-US
