Thread originally posted on 17 August 2011]I am converting all reports in my product to use the RPV report viewer http://rpvsoftware.com/ My users love the new reports and the ability to convert a report to pdf or excel. I heard about this product at one of the Las Vegas conferences from some other users so I know it is being used in the Extend community. My question is I notice that my users report more system freezes when using the rpv viewer. Has anyone out there using RPV had a similar problem? Does anyone have suggestions as how I can debug the cause for the system freezes?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 25 November 2002]I am handling a task that need to use Java to call Cobol. But I think I should use C to be the middleware between them. Actually, I have no idea that how to call Cobol from C .According to the manual of AcuCobol 4.2, have a little bit note about this topic only. Is there have any others detailed example for calling Cobol from C ?:confused:

Has anyone done the old style accept and display screens and have radio buttons working correctly in the tab order?The sample program from Acocorp showed examples of the rest of the controls and said that putting radio buttons into this type of screen would be hard.I need to know what the rules are and would love to see sample code.Thanks

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 18 November 2002]I am presently evaluating AcuCobol 5.2.0.1 in a Redhat 8.0 environment utilizing the GNOME desktop. I am using Launcher to run a script in TERMINAL. I am trying to ascertain what functions are available to the AcuCobol runtime from within this environment. The following is a list of items with which I have had some success:1) Menubars work2) Function Keys work3) Color worksI have also had some results in this arena that are less than perfect and I am trying to see if anyone has already come up with a work around or found a solution. First, I want to say that I am not stuck on the GNOME desktop. I am simply looking for an OS and a graphical desktop in order to minimize program changes. The programs we are looking to convert to a new environment use character based screens, use color, utilize menubars, and use the mouse. Through changes to the A_termcap file I have been able to get single mouse clicks within the menub

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 19 May 2011]Hello,In the Interoperability documentation, it says the following in section 5.4.2:Note that you can call COBOL from .NET locally or remotely. You can evenhave the runtime execute remotely without a COBOL object executing on theclient. All you need on the client is a .NET program and a runtime. For thisto work, you set CODE_PREFIX in the configuration file that you providewith the runtime initialization to point to a remote server hosting yourCOBOL application. The remote server must also be running AcuConnect.AcuConnect is able to execute a COBOL object remotely and share data withthe local runtime. For more information on executing remote COBOLprograms with AcuConnect, please refer to the AcuConnect User’s Guide.When AcuConnect is setup to require a password, the first time I try to call a program using AcuConnect, a dialog pops up prompting for the AcuConnect password. The AcuConnect documentation section 2.7.1 says the fo

It works ok on my local pc, but when I try to run the program in the Citrix environment(where the users live) the results are not consistent. Sometimes the GetSaveAsFilename method will display the dialog box, but it is buried beneath the application and Atl-Tab is the only way to find it. Other times the dialog box never displays and the application just ends. Any ideas on how to make the save box perform consistenly?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 14 January 2011]With the introduction of 64bit Windows some years ago, something new came in place, a shadow hive serving the numerous 32bits applications out there.I will not go into the details about the diversion of registry access here, but state that the registry on 64bit Windows has a subkey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE named Wow6432Node.A 32bit application making inquiries on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE will effectively read under this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node. The 64bit OS does this automatically, you won't notice.For most, this is just fine, as what is there, is what a 32bit app usually would need to read from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE hive.In some special circumstances however, it might be necessary to read the native hive. As we shall see, it is actually quite easy to accomplish.The key is the library function REG_OPEN_KEY_EXExample:CALL "REG_OPEN_KEY_EX"      USIN

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 25 May 2012]Hi,I’m trying to create a delimited text file using only selected fields from a database. The problem I have is that the fields I need to extract from the database and the fields in the file that I want to move them to can change. So for example, I may want to move DATABASE-FIELD-1 to TEMP-FIELD-1 but I don’t know that the content (or value) of DATABASE-FIELD-1 is DATE-OF-BIRTH, nor do I know that the content (or value) of TEMP-FIELD-1 is TEMP-DATE-FIELD-1.Is there a quicker way of finding out what the fields are without using IF statements to determine what each of the fields are? In other words, can I use the contents of a variable as a variable?Any help would be very much appreciated.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 24 April 2012]Hi,Our MF cobol code exes and dlls are running (backend services) in windows 2003 R2 server. Its been 6 years and there are no changes made to it. When we try to set up a new environment in a different windows 2003 R2 server, it is failing with signal 11 (error name is mentioned in the subject) after processing few policies. Can anyone provide the right way to approach this problem? Is it anything access related issue?It is working fine, if we do the same set up in XP desktop machines.What is this SQLSVR32? Is it a dll or method? I am unable to find any dlls with this name instead there are versions of SQLSRV32.dlls are present in the machine.I don't know on which version of MF cobol, the exes/dlls are built. If there is any way to identify, please let me know that too.Thanks in advanceAnton

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 16 April 2012]Hi!We are trying to consume a webservice that use SSL. We use RMnet for this, but we get "Unsupported protocol". Probably, the reason is that we does not provide the certificate, or we cannot set it off.Somewhere, I found there should be a possibility to set the verification off. Using a function "NetSSLVerifyPeer". But there was no documentation of the use of the function, and I have not been able to find the documentation refered to. Can anyone give me a example of the use of this?Generally speaking, can anyone give me a example/description of how to communicate wiht such webservices using RMnet?RegardsDagl

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 11 April 2012]Hi!We are using RMNet for consuming webservices. This seems to work, but for now only when we add "-y xmlif.dll -y rmnet.dll" into our command string, to load this two dll`s.This is not a solution for us, since we then need to configure all local terminals that our customers all over the country uses to start our program.We have tried to load the two dll`s by calling them in the program, prior to the use of them. But then we get an error, indicating that they are not loaded properly.So the question is; how can we load this two dll`s from the Cobol program early enough?RegardsDagl
