As a user, rather than just always asking questions, I thought it would be nice to give back to the Community for a change. Reference Modification - In a Managed COBOL program, you can use either the traditional "one-based" reference modification (using parentheses) that you can also use with Native COBOL, -OR- you can use zero-based reference modification (using brackets).  This is touched on in "Visual COBOL - A Developer's Guide To Modern COBOL", a book from Micro Focus (see pages 336 - 337). In Visual Studio, create a new COBOL project - Managed Console Application and paste the following code into it.  This is a quick and dirty example and was not intended to be elegant or efficient.  Rather, it was meant to show how reference modification can be used and to provide something that you can easily experiment with.        program-id. Program1 as "TestRefMod1.Program1".        data division. 

Salve, come da titolo ho condiviso in rete cartella c tra due computer per eseguire il programma runcbl su windowx xp pro ma quando cerco di farlo partire sull' altro pc non si avvia.... come potrei risolvere la situazione?

bandicam-2018_2D00_02_2D00_12-08_2D00_48_2D00_28_2D00_183.mp4  Okay so this might be a little difficult to explain.  Basically we have a cobol screen that has a .net assembly embedded in the screen section. When one of the assemblies functions is activated(which displays another form overlayed on the screen, not another window) the cobol window that had focus loses it's focus, and focus is transferred to last active windows screen that WASN'T controlled by the acucobol runtime(i.e. file explorer). This behavior does not happen when the .net assembly is embedded on a standard windows form outside of the acucobol runtime(i.e. as a simple executable). We tried switching the .net assembly to run as a stand alone windows form rather than being embedded, but we have a situation where we do not want users to be able to "touch" screens 2 and 3(numbers being screen depth) and the assembly is screen 4.  When the assembly is run, all screens are able to be "touched" whereas before

Good evening, For the last couple of months, several of my customers have been complaining about a steady increase in the number of file errors they are receiving while using my software.  Most of them have not had an update of my software, so nothing changed from my perspective.  The most commonly reported are File Busy (on personal temp files, so shouldn't ever happen) and Disk Space Exhausted despite small file sizes (like 10kb) and no where near disk capacity.  The ones who have reported this are running a mix of Windows 7 and 10 with AcuCobol ver 7.2 or 10.0 (I don't believe this is happening for my 10.1 user. They have tried: rebooting, disk defragmentation, and rebuilding their Windows profiles; all to no avail. Anyone else experience this or know if it's tied to a Windows update not playing nice? Thanks for any input, customers are losing patience.  I apologize for any omissions of data, please just ask and I'll be happy to provide the inform

Hi to all, I want to learn AngularJS Course in Chennai so suggest which institute is best for this course...    #AngularJSCourseinChennai

Hello, I have a program with SQL which is compiled to Java bytecode. When I add the additional directives "p(cobsql) csqlt==oracle endp" in Project Properties > Micro Focus > Build Configuration, I get the error:     * CSQL-F-048: Cobsql is not supported for use with managed code. Instead of p(cobsql)... I added the directive SQL(PROCOB). Then I get the error:     COBES0121S SQL(PROCOB) is only valid with SQL(DBMAN=ADO) After adding this directive, the following error occurs:   COBCH1572S ILREF directive has invalid type name 'MicroFocus.COBOL.SqlCLR.RunTime.dll' which is not documentated. According to the documentation this only works with .NET (http://documentation.microfocus.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.microfocus.eclipse.infocenter.visualcobol.vs2015/GUID-3492935C-7CBE-4055-A831-B2892E9EB056.html&cp=5_5_2_2_0_9_0_2_51). Is it even possible to compile programs with Oracle SQL in Java byte code?   Best regards Paul

I have downloaded Visual Cobol for Visual studio 2017, and all the files have been properly installed. However, when creating a new project in visual studio 2017, no COBOL options are available. When trying to open COBOL samples included in the Visual COBOL downloads, Visual studio states it is not compatible. The same occurs when trying to open any COBOL Project. To clarify, the Visual Cobol files downloaded properly. Visual studio cannot link with these files.

Anyone know why I would get this error?  The Slice utility gives the error but not the compiler.  It's as if the compiler found the WS file but the slice utility didn't.   k123.err = Error cobtoxml K123-WS   F:\\BIS\\KEVIN\\DB\\SRC>ECHO OFF Could Not Find F:\\BIS\\KEVIN\\DB\\SRC\\k123.err RM/COBOL Compiler - Version 12.13 for 32-Bit Windows.

We code our programs in Acubench 8.1.3 and runtime is 8.0 on a virtual machine. The program is compiled with -Ga (and I have even tried -Gd). When debugging the program, I have it set to break when the value of a variable changes, however the debugger does not stop. From time to time, we load different sets of data onto the vm's for testing purposes, and sometimes the debugger will work correctly and stop when the variable changes value. This leads me to believe that there is a file or something that controls whether the debugger will actually stop when the value changes. Does anyone know where to find this or how we can make sure the debugger will stop when the variable changes (when it is set to do so)? Thank you, Melissa#acubench#AcuCobol

I am receiving Error 26 from Visual COBOL and would like assistance in fixing this. I had changed the date on my PC to test out a function in a program i had written and now i am unable to progress any further. PLEASE HELP.#error[26]

I have moved a legacy native COBOL application to Linux to run under the Visual COBOL runtime. Some of the files are defined as external in their file descriptors ie. opened once and shared between modules within the run unit.At the same time I am exploring access to the same application's files from a web front end through Java and Visual COBOL wrappers around native code.Both systems run successfully in isolation but if the native application is started after the webapp, the files declared external fail to open returning runtime error 9/064. I have no definition for this error.Can you explain what is happening here?

This article explains how to customize the content of the SOAP Exception returned to a Web Service Client. Problem: When a Container Managed service of Web Service sets a return-code that is superior to the maximum success RETURN-CODE, which indicates to Enterprise Server to Rollback, it can be useful to retrieve to the client consuming the service a detailed information about what occurred. This is the aim of the MFRHSOAP User Exit 8. Resolution: This sample attached to this article demonstrates a simple COBOL user exit 8 program for MFRHSOAP, the Web Services request handler for Enterprise Server. MFRHSOAP user exits can be used to manipulate the SOAP request and response messages, the parameters passed to and from the COBOL service program, and other aspects of request processing. For more information, see the Net Express or Server Express 5 documentation. In the current documentation set, information on MFRHSOAP user exits can be found in Micro Focus Server > C

Salve, per la versione in oggetto come posso collegarmi e lavorare su due pc contemporaneamente quindi in multifunzione? in passato lo facevo ma non ricordo cosa bisogna fare... attendo il vostro aiuto

I need to call a c# user control when a COBOL window is minimized or maximized.  The window action works correctly, but I can't find an event or message that I can trap.

The character based Dialog System is available with the latest Visual COBOL PE. Looking at the  Dialog System Character Mode Guide the Tutorial Section makes reference to many example programs (*.s, *.err, *.sl, *.cbl, *.mf, *.cpb etc.)Is there a website where I might download these programs as they are not included in the Visual COBOL release?Thanks

Our institution is part of the academic initiative. Our labs have Visual COBOL 2015 installed - we will be moving to 2017 this summer.  And those copies are managed by a license manager.  The problem is that instructors also have a copy of Visual COBOL 2015 on their laptops.  As long as they are connected to the university's network, and the license manager is accessible, the copy of Visual COBOL works.  But once they go home, they are unable to use Visual COBOL.  Is there a way for them to be able to work both on and off campus?   Do we just need to request a license for these machines to use?

We use .mak files to compile cobol modules for execution in the server environment.  We are testing a Windows 7 install, and the compile fails because it cannot find the db2agapi.dll.  The same compile with same directives and environmental settings (i.e., path, coblib, etc...)  works fine in the XP environment.  I know there are some instructions on how to fix this in the IDE with a MicroFocus project build, but we are just running .mak files and don't create projects or use the IDE at all.  We generate cobol modules from a 3rd party tool that kicks off the compiles or we compile them manually from the command line using generated .mak files.   Does anyone know why this would occur when the db2agapi file is in the PATH?  I've even put it in the directory where the compile is initiated, just to see if it would find it, but same error.
