After updating Windows Eclipse Visual COBOL 2.3 to 3.0 plus patch 1 all compiles fail with the following error:   -------------------------------BUILD STARTED-------------------------------Problem: failed to create task or type mfdirlistCause: The name is undefined.Action: Check the spelling.Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.   The .cobolBuild XML file contains the following relating to mfdirlist: <!-- ***************************** --> <!-- * COBOL compiler directives * --> <!-- ***************************** --> <!-- cobol_directive_set_1 --> <mfdirlist id="cobol_directive_set_1"> <directive name="DIALECT" id="dialect" value="MF"/> <directive name="WARNING" id="warning" value="3"/> <directive name="CHARSET" id="charset&quo

Using the old WOWDataGrid.  Would like to use one that is a little more current.  We would like to move columns, sort columns, mouse wheel works in grid to scroll, and copy cell data to an Excel.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what control to look at.

I just want to know that can we use Server Express 5.1 on SuSe Linux 11 or Linux 12. Is it supported on the latest version of SUSE.

 I have been programing for 30 years in COBOL and need to move to Visual COBOL.  Was wondering if anyone have any good suggestions on material to help in this transition since I have very little coding in anything but older COBOLS.  I started with Cobol way back and have done most of my coding in COBOL 85.  

good day Someone has some example, or tutorial or explanation of how I can create a web service in native cobol, where also explain how I generate the wsdl file for a SOAP platform, beforehand a thousand thanks, since I only find information on how to do this process in Eclipse and I can not replicate it in visual#wsdl#Webservices#CobolNative#SOAP#VisualStudio

I want to apply the latest updates fpr VC2015. I have already install the 3.0 and patch 1 . Do i have to install patch 2 first an patch 3 afterwards or install patch 3 only? The same question for Cobol Server too. Can i install patch 3 directly?

"Connection to server refused. connection denied."Can sombody help us, what is wrong?    #acutoweb

Created On:  2010-04-27 Problem: Starting Net Express from the shortcut fails with “C00000FD Stack Overflow at: 00352CC3 01:00011CCE C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\Base\\Bin\\IDECORE.dll”. There is however no problem to start Net Express from the Net Express Command Prompt using the MFNETX command. Double-clicking on MFNETX.EXE from the BIN directory of Net Express also gives the exact same error. None of the methods below resolved the problem: Creating a new shortcut Running the repair feature from Add or Remove Programs Resolution: This problem is a known issue reported on the base version of Net Express 5.1, and the only way to fix it is to apply WrapPack 3 or a more recent version.

I see that with Visual Cobol, one can create websites with Cobol using ASP.NET. Unfortunately, my hosting provider, DreamHost, does not support any Microsoft technologies. Here is a link showing the supported and unsupported technologies on DreamHost. Do you have any recommendations on inexpensive hosting companies which do support ASP.NET? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.#Web#VisualCOBOL

Getting a new CRM in house and need to be able to call an API from a Native Console App and get the information from the database. Wondering if anybody might have a example of a Visual Cobol, Native Console App that calls API (Rest or Soap) and utilizes WSDL to return the information? I cannot go directly against database(s), exec sql as I currently do, I need to utilize an Api or web service.#VisualCOBOL#API#nativeconsole

Hi downloaded a trial version of visual cobol for eclise on suse 12 and installed it on the opensuse environment. The entire installation went fine other than the license part. While installing it gave me the following warning. ./MFLicenseServerInstall.sh: line 2299: [: too many argumentscp: cannot stat '/etc/inittab': No such file or directorygrep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory   When I tried to install the mf license script gave the below error:   linux-ixka:/opt/microfocus # sh ./VisualCOBOL/safenet/MFLicenseServerInstall.sh     -=-==================================================================-=-                        Micro Focus Licensing Installation                            &

"Hello" from Russell. Please allow me to ask for help with an RMCobol application using "HTTP Post" command. I apologize in advance for the lack of specific details.This is all I have to work with. I work for a company that provides a complete software package for automobile dealerships.My latest project, which was received on Oct 18, is to integrate our application with:Georgia Electronic Title and Registration System (GA-ETR) To be short & blunt:We requested the specs.We were sent a sample document, which is below. Nothing else. Just a sample document.We have requested credentails for: (1) Transaction.userName (2) Transaction.passwordand are still waiting The sample document contains this line:<form action= "georgia.qa.titletec.com/.../HTTPDealPost.aspx" method="POST" name="myform" id = "myform" > Judging by that line, it appears a command such as "HTTPPOst" would work.I created a "hack" program that would "inhale" the sample document into a "request" and attempt to post it

We have a set of .cbl files in the Linux environment. Have installed Visual COBOL for Eclipse for SUSE. I need to compile the source code and use the executable in the script to run the batch jobs. Will executing the command "cob -z -P Program1.cbl" create a .o file and can we use the .o executable in my script to run the batch like   DD_SYS001=input_file /location/program1.o unix >>outputfile   Is the approach fine? Since I am a novice, can someone please guide me step by step of how to go ahead executing it.

I am running Extend 10.0.0 on Windows 10, 64-bit, but developing for 32-bit.  I have been developing a .NET DLL to use with our COBOL app over the last couple of months, and NETDEFGEN has been creating the DEF file just fine and I can run the app.  Now I'm trying to add events that will be caught by COBOL, and I expected NETDEFGEN to create the event DLL, like it did for the sample program AmortControl.  The documentation says that occasionally, I might get the error "The Event Handler Compilation Failed" but the DEF file would generated normally.  Well, the DEF did, but the event DLL did not. What can I check?  I built the .NET DLL with Framework 4, build platform x86.  The NETDEFGEN setting is using 32-bit 4.0 ilasm.exe.  The Class Member screen in NETDEFGEN shows that I have Events, but when I click Generate,  I get the error message, and no event DLL.  I generated for AmortControl under these conditions, and it worked.  My next cour

Is there a personal edition of Visual COBOL 2017 ???

I have compiled the cobol programs (.cbl files) using visual cobol for eclipse. After compiling the program I have .int files which are intermediate files. Can I export these to Linux and execute them by UNIX script? If these can't be used directly can someone please let me know how to convert them to .o files ?

Problem: When using the Data File Editor in Server Express, characters appear in the wrong columns and suddenly shift while scrolling sideways in a file Resolution: In some terminal emulators, certain byte values may not be printable in the current character set used. For example, in the terminal emulator Putty, the character set may be set to ISO 8859-1 West Europe, or similar. Changing the character set to UTF-8 will correct this problem, and allow Data File Editor to correctly display records containing this kind of binary data. In Putty, this setting is found under Window->Translation, as Remote Character Set.

Problem: On Linux/UNIX, a server/region in Enterprise Server (ES) would not start.  The error message was: CASCF0052S casstart: Error reading console daemon configuration data Solution: Here is a link into the documentation showing an explanation:http://documentation.microfocus.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.microfocus.eclipse.infocenter.visualcobol.vs2012/GUID-6081411C-F6E2-42BC-8FD8-3C748C9C05A8.htmlIt is a permissions problem with the "system directory" of the server/region, caused by trying to start the server/region using a different Linux/UNIX user-id than the user-id used when the server/region was last started.The system directory is where files such as the console.log, log-1.html, etc. are kept.  The directory is created and owned by the user-id that last started the server/region, and if you try to start the server/region with a different user-id, there will be a permissions problem on the system directory.The quickest way to overcome this problem is to rem
