Running ACU COBOL in WEB Browser in windows environment. Is there a way to react on the windows close button (X at top right) to close our application properly.

The Czech use a "s" with caron (inverted circumflex) as in Škoda. We need to convert the lowercase s to uppercase S but the C$TOUPPER seems not to know these characters. And becauce it's a double-byte character we don't know how to define it in the INSPECT REPLACING statement.  Does anyone know how to accomplish this?------------------------------Andreas WeinandVacos GmbHBöblingen DE------------------------------

Have a project where need to re-write a datafile but with a slightly different primary key value? Does someone have a working example?  Thanks in advance. I do have the original FD and structure. Field in file is pic 9(8) but was being used by program as pic 9(5) hence numbers were stored as "12345   " but now need to be reformatted as "00012345". Thanks

Has anyone used Microsoft Print to PDF to generate PDF's dynamically?  For example, our application produces a text file from which we want to create a PDF.  Using C#, the following could be used: PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Microsoft Print to PDF";PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = true;PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = "pdf_filename"; However, I'm having difficulty generating a def file for the System.Drawing and System.Drawing.Common dll's. ------------------------------Ken SchwartzSenior Engineer, DevelopmentSouthware Innovations, IncOpelika US------------------------------

The currently installation file for x64 running Linux PowerPC (glibc 2.x) 64 Bit seemed to be big endian version, it will be not able to use in the newest Linux  distributions on IBM® Power Systems™ that Linux on IBM® Power Systems™ strategic shift from big endian to little endian. Is possible to provide the installation file with little endian that the customers will begin to evaluate the possibility to replace AIX with Linux on Power system? ------------------------------Stone LiaoManagerChannelmaker Technology Co., Ltd.Taipei TW------------------------------

I am using extend 10.5.1. How can i configure extend to use OLE DB rather than ODBC? It seems to always default to ODBC#SQL#AcuCobol#ODBC#SQLserver

I am trying to get acucobol to connect to my local database and execute an embedded procedure. When i try this the ODBC Driver returns;"Optional feature not implemented"I am using sqlexpress 2016I have attached a zip file with an example program, screen shots of the DNS configuration and my database.Any help is greatly appreciated community.microfocus.com/.../question.zip#SQLserver#ODBC#AcuCobol

Hi, I’am not a cobol programmer. For a work I need to read vision files because I need to integrate two different systems. I can read it correctly using vutil -unload and parsing the fixed record structure file it will give me in output. As the file is very big, this process requires time to read and parse the entire vision file every time. I found the extract option of vutil with which I can specify a key value to start with. However I cannot understand how I can specify this value when the primary key of the vision file has multiple parts.#vutil#AcuCobol

Hi, I'm encountering an issue with a DLL built on the .NET Framework 4.7.2. I generated a .def file using axDefGen and included it in my AcuCobol program. Although the function I needed appeared in the .def file, I encountered a "System Exception, Member not found" error when running the AcuCobol program. I then tried using NetDefGen to generate the .def file, despite knowing it only supports .NET 1.1 and 2.0 versions. The .def file was generated with the required function, but during compilation, I faced numerous errors, causing the system to abort the process. Can anyone suggest a solution to these issues? Thanks, Aji Cherian

Hello everyone. In a computer with two monitors, is there any way to select through code in AcuBench 8.0 which monitor to display the screen on? Thank you.

Hi, every one I'm having an issue with an Acucobol application where the error shown in the attached photos appears. This error only occurs for one user who connects to the application using an Android tablet and a remote desktop client. The rest of the users who connect to the application via terminal service do not experience this problem, so I believe it must be something related to the tablet's connection. If anyone could provide me with some information regarding this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

I am using an FD that has multiple record types.  They are all the same length and each has a 'WHEN' directive identifying the type of record.  When a record is displayed using Alfred (or SQL View), the first record's field mapping is used.  I believe that the documentation states that the first record (or the largest record) is defaulted for mapping the data columns.  This default does not map correctly when there is a different record type - except for "V" for some reason.  Is there a way around this?  Maybe a combination of other XFD directives?  Is there an error in how this is defined? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  FD record definitions: *(( XFD WHEN XREF-RECORD-TYPE = "X" )) 01 ITEM-XREF-PART-RECORD. 05 ITEM-XREF-PART-KEY. 10 XREF-RECORD-TYPE PIC X(01). 10 XREF-NUMBER PIC X(30). 05 XREF-OUR-STK-ALT-KEY. 10 XREF-OUR-STK-NO PIC X(15).

Hi everyone. I am working with 3rd party ssystem, that provides a web interface for their services.  Have to use get/put/post for various things.  Their examples use curl.  I tested the connection on my system using curl.  There is an error with the SSL certificate(s) apparently, as curl complains until I add the -k (--unsecure) option.   That's fine, there is no private data, and everything will be inside a vpn.  BUT. When I try to connect using RMNET, I get an error 7.  When I check the NetGetError, the text is: "SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK".  Fine.  That's basically what curl said.  So I tried the NetSSLVerifyPeer command to turn off the verify.  Same error.  (Note: The response-LEN is zero when doing the HttpGet) Flow: CALL "NetInit" GIVING AIMS-STATUS-CODE. CALL "NetSSLVerifyPeer" USING 0 GIVING AIMS-STATUS-CODE. CALL "HttpGet" USING    A

The new WEB-BROWSER2 control works different from the old control. Before I could drag a file onto the control and I would get the MSG-WB-NAVIGATE-COMPLETE event and with that I had the filename. Is there a way this could work again or does anyone now a work around?#web-browser#extend

I am required to check whether Webview2 runtime is installed on the system. Is any utility available with AcuCobol 10.5.1 to check this, Or am I required to create a DLL to accomplish the task? Please advise. Thanks, Aji Cherian

Using thin client runtime 10.51 for Linux.  If I create a WebView2 browser control in our application, then call another program which creates an activex control, I get a memory access violation.   Windows (not thin client) does not have this problem.

Hullo all. I hope the collective intelligence of the community can help guide us here. We have a large-ish program written & running under AcuGT (Extend) for Windows. It has a Windows UI. It is a real-time transaction processing engine with a UI to monitor and control the activity. So it runs in 2+ threads but its a single program. We want to split this into two programs: A transaction processing engine that runs as a Windows Service, so it launches on boot and is always running. No UI at all. A UI that interacts with the above program. Ideally we would just take the existing code - the current UI thread - and make minimal changes to it, so it will still be an AcuGT/Extend program. But users could launch/run it using AcuToWeb. We want to put minimal effort into this, as it does not extend the functionality of our product, it just solves some security + remote-access issues. It should not be too hard to simply split this one program (currently implemented as two threads) into

Hi, II have configured two systems; the first system has run time folder as swrun.16 and the second system has swrun.17. I want to install/register some components into the run time folder programatically.Could you please suggest a way how to dynamically determine the Runtime directory? Thanks, Aji Cherian

Hi all. We will be interacting with electronic labels, and the API is a bunch of restful web services, so we'll be using the RMNET routines.  I know the C$SOCKET functions are not "thread safe" because if you wait for a response, all threads will block (my manual tells me so!) but I was wondering about the RMNET routines.  Do they have the same limitation or can I launch a thread to do the API transaction, while the main function continues on?  The manual doesn't mention either way.
