Automatically open project when click on Visual Studio?

 I just upgraded from very old Visual Studio and Visual COBOL to Visual Studio 2017 and Visual COBOL 3.0 In my old setup, when I clicked my icon, Visual Studio automatically opened my project. In my new setup, Visual Studio opens but requires me to click to open my project.    Any way that my single click on the icon can both bring up Visual Studio AND my Visual COBOL project?#Setup#COBOL#VisualStudio

Visual Cobol for Eclipse: Unable to activate "Run Configuarations" or Debug Configurations" in Windows 10

Hello all, it seems  to me that  that the activtion of "Run Configurations" or "Debug Configurtions" in Eclipse  is not possible and generates a Java "null pointer exception". I am using Windows 10. With  Windows 8.1 everything works fine. I did several installations and cleaned everything from previous installations. Other functionality seems to be okay. Any ideas? Kind regards Franz Franz   Franz

Is it possible to get a visual cobol personal edition download for visual studio 2013?

I have tried to find a download for visual cobol 2013  that would work with my existing visual studio professional 2013, but it seems the only option I can find is visual studio 2017. I tried this and it is looking for an authorization code. I have been getting debug error message popups from VS2017 community version so I would prefer to revert to using the visual studio professional 2013 edition if I can. Is it still possible to get visual cobol personal edition for visual studio 2013? Thanks very much!

“java.lang.nullpointerexception” error shown when using COBOL Application Run Configuration - Visual COBOL for Eclipse 3.0

  Problem: “java.lang.nullpointerexception” error shown when using COBOL Application Run Configuration - Visual COBOL for Eclipse 3.0 Resolution: This is a known Eclipse IDE issue when using a monitor with high DPI settings (e.g. 4k monitor), see Eclipse Bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=495849 To resolve this, consider upgrading Eclipse from version 4.6.0 to version 4.6.3 where handling of monitors with high DPI is improved.

"The ordinal 77 could not be loaded in dynamic link library utils.dll” shown when starting Visual COBOL for Eclipse.

  Problem:      "The ordinal 77 could not be loaded in dynamic link library utils.dll” shown when starting Visual COBOL for Eclipse. Resolution: This can be related to other software being installed on the same machine that also uses the same utils.dll file which the Visual COBOL Product uses for normal operation. As an example the Dell Unified Wireless Suite uses a utils.dll, if you are using this Dell software you can consider to uninstall this and installing just the wireless card driver as per http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19595964 The issue is caused by a filename clash and the 3rd party product not locating its version of this file correctly.

AcuBench Working Storage Variable Naming

I am creating a gateway program to be used in XBIS that will drive a new process we are developing.  Our .net team requested that I update all '-' in variable names to "_".  As I attempted to do this in AcuBench the Working Storage screen would not accept "_" and would automatically convert them back to a "-".  Does anyone know why this is happening?  An Example variable name is: 'IP-VS-Message'...I had hoped to make that 'IP_VS_Message'.  The only option that I could use was to remove the '-' completely.  This made the final variable name: 'IPVSMessage' which it took but is a bit confusing.   Thanks

COBCH0845 Unknown class: DirectoryServices in Visual COBOL

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 02 May 2012]I am getting the above error when I try to reference System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. The IDE allows me to add the reference and intellisense pops up like it knows it's there but then it gives me an error saying it is an unknown class. What am I doing wrong?Alternatively, I have created a C# method to validate user credentials using the DirectoryServices.AccountManagement and would like to call the method from Managed COBOL but have not found any examples of how to do this. Could you provide me with one?Thanks!!

RM/COBOL Codewatch Version 7

Attention Representatives or Users,     I currently have the RM/COBOL Version 7.0 and I can't get Codewatch to display the source code screen when I get the workspace configured and click the 'Run' Option.  It displays the breakpoint screen and the runtime debug screen, but not the screen where the source code is.  I want to be able to pull up the screen with the source code highlighted during execution of the runtime in Codewatch and I'm unable to do so.  It also doesn't show the source code (.cbl) in the "Programs" or "Files" window on the left side of the screen as well. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly.   Jack Stockman

New to RM/COBOL

Good afternoon.   I am the IT Admin for a hospital in Maine. Two years ago we retired our Electronic Medical Records system and opted into a new Web based one. The older system was called "Hi-Tech" and RM/COBOL was a component we had to install on each PC prior to accessing the database. That's the extent of my knowledge on COBOL. I literally have no idea what COBOL does other than it needed to be installed first and THEN we could get into our database (well, that and I think I've heard rumors that COBOL has been around forever and 'just works'). We are now on Windows 10 (we were on XP and W7 Pro) and we are trying to test access to the old EMR system. Here is what I know so far... The company who built & provided service for the old EMR system is out of business (2 years now). The version of RM/COBOL that they provided us (and that we still have on file) will not work with Windows 10   What I think I need... A version of COBOL that will install on W10 and allow us

code completion hangs acubench

Hi all, All of the sudden, acubench hangs when auto code completion is triggered. When writing code and typing "START", after 6-7 seconds acubench auto completes the line with "START MY_FILE". Then, acubench hangs and needs to be "killed" by the task manager. In order to make acubench work, we disabled the feature from tools > options > code editor > code insight. We tested it with various projects located in different disk folders, we faced the same behaviour. Thanks in advance.

AcuXDBC vs long running SQL commands - "VISION: Read timeout"

We're trying to run some bulk update commands that are hitting tables with 50 million or so rows. The problem is after a few minutes, we get "***** ERROR: VISION: Read timeout", even though we've set all the timeouts to zero in the various config files - which should prevent any timeouts. Is there are hard coded upper limit for connection times? Is there something about the configuration of timeouts I am perhaps missing? This has happened when using the xdbc query tool and when using isql.#AcuXDBC#SQL

Memory allocation/free with C/Cobol

Hello, i'm trying to write a C dll that called in a Cobol program returns data in a memory section allocated with C malloc(). The problem is when i'm trying to free that memory in Cobol with a m$free it seems doesn't work. My question is: m$free work only with memory allocated with m$alloc?

animator stopped working .. runs all the way through program.

This is a strange one.  Without any changes that we know of except booting our server all animator sessions run right through without stopping for breaks.  We have small scripts that set COBSW A and it just works and now it just stopped?   Is it possible that the Cobol License deamons need to be restated?  I can't find any eorror messages associated with these.  Any suggestions appreciated.   root 26730 1 0 Feb16 ? 00:00:12 /var/microfocuslicensing/bin/lservroot 26738 1 0 Feb16 ? 00:01:23 /var/microfocuslicensing/bin/mfcesd
