Hi, is it possible to show always the full path of an copy in the list file. What we want to see is the directory where the copy was found. We see  the path in the page heading of the list file. But if the copy is too small to be on two pages, there is no way to see the directory. Here an example to make it more clearly. We are able to see the path of the copy SDA421 but not for SDA422.   *  116     COPY SDA421.                                                                                          116^L^M* Micro

When Automatic is selected: MG0012 Wrong ProductWhen Manual is selected: MG0106: Unable to authorize the request.Note that this is a different error from the other MG0106 error according to Chris Glazier. The solution is not to simply Email him. Hi Edward,   Please post this question directly on the Community Site so others can see it and respond as well. The previous problem with license authorization that was linked with my name has been fixed. Yours seems to be a different problem.   Thanks   Regards, Chris Glazier

Hello, this is a high level question (general). I was hoping that someone here would know if AcuCOBOL 8.1.2 has some sort of maintenance mode, where you can put the tables in a temp state while running backups on the database? Thank you for your time.

 I've got a native CLEAN.cbl that uses a copybook named COMPUTATION.cpy.  It's not working.  The code in COMPUTATION.cpy isn't recognizing variables and procedures contained in CLEAN.cbl. In the Solution Explorer, COMPUTATION.cpy is flagged with a X   See attached screen shot. Wazzup?#COBOL

I want to create a big window and then have the user create another window inside of the original window. Will AcuCobol allow this process? The user will then create controls on the created window. Thanks, David

At the end of installing Visual COBOL, I got the error code: 0x8013153b To top it off, COBOL does not appear in Visual Studio for me. I was given a code for the authorization tool that comes with Visual COBOL and tried using that but it didn't seem to fix anything.#VisualCOBOL#error

Does anyone have experience with the connection of extend and MS-Docuware via .NET?I would like to physically download documents from Docuware.With netdefgen I do not really get on with it because generating the copy modules produces errors.And of course I have no experience with .NET.

Hi can I install the Visual Cobol\\Cobol Server product on the Red Hat Openshift platform? the licenses is the same as a normal red hat installation? thanks bye

The latest snag in our COBOL <--> Excel saga. All of a sudden, yesterday, I couldn’t execute RAW-STAFFCOMP.cbl.  Error:        Execution error : file 'RAW-STAFFCOMP'     error code: 240, pc=0, call=1, seg=0     240     Object reference not valid   The error was at this statement:  invoke WorkSheet "finalize" returning WorkSheet.   Thinking I might have somehow clobbered the program, I compiled an earlier version which had previously executed perfectly.  Exactly the same error occurred.   Is there something I can tweak, maybe in the Project Properties?  Or maybe I need to re-install Visual COBOL?

We are currently a Micro Focus 6.0 Sp2 SEE user.  We use it for development and prod.  We have a new Cobol application that the vendor requires Visual Cobol 2.3 Update 1.  We are being asked to put it on the same server as the current development and production versions.  How can this be accomplished?  What are the ramifications of different levels of support being required by the OS other  products and the possibility that there may be issues with backward compatibility with our current release.

During execution of the process, using Net Express we are getting a "file not found" error.  It occurs when calling a DLL from a DLL.  Calling the same DLL from an EXE is working fine.  While this code has worked fine for years, I had to rebuild the process, and this error is the result.  I'm questioning the way the DLL is being called.  Has anyone had experience with this that might help?

We are moving from Solaris to Suse Linux and for the same I am trying to create new executable. Using visual cobol for eclipse when I created the executable and ran the programs in CMO (Solaris) everything works fine. But when I create executable and run one of the program in FMO (Suse Linux) the script fails giving the below error.   Execution Error : file 'sitefc30' error code: 107, pc=0, call=1, seg=0 107   Operation not implemented in this Run-Time System   I have never come across this error. Below is the screenshot of the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.            

We're now successfully using Visual COBOL to read data from Excel, which is a victory.  But we've got a problem.  Here's relevant program code:           working-storage section.           01 excel-contents PIC X(13).           01 excel-contents-num redefines excel-contents PIC S9(12).           01 W-CELL-VALUE   PIC S9(12).           procedure division.           invoke Cell "getValue" returning excel-contents.           MOVE excel-contents-num TO W-CELL-VALUE. The problem:  example -- the Excel cell contains the 15 W-CELL-VALUE should be "000000000015" instead, we're getting       "15          " We could fix this with some kind of character-handling, but before we try that, is there something simple that we're

This article explains how to use the TerminateProcess to stop a process with no cleanup. Problem: What can you do if an application needs to exit immediately with no cleanup in order to prevent some issues at process closedown in third party components? Resolution: You can use the TerminateProcess to stop a process with no cleanup. However this means that the COBOL runtime will not be able to perform any cleanup. If you issue TerminateProcess on a COBOL process then it could lead to issues such as corrupt files as normal clean up is not performed. Note: This code should only be used with care. Attached is an example of this API being called from COBOL. Incident Number: 2267166 Old KB# 14572

The MicroFocus documentation in https://supportline.microfocus.com/documentation/books/oc41books/fhform.htm, in section 3.1.1.1, says that line sequential files "correspond to simple text files as produced by the standard editor provided with your operating system". I've created a line-sequential file whose records are PIC S9(12) OCCURS 1600.  When I look at the output in Notepad, I see that the number -999999999999 appears to be stored as 99999999999y. Do I need to change my organization from "line sequential" to "sequential", or can a program reading that line-sequential file actually convert the 99999999999y back to -999999999999 ???#VisualCOBOL
