Is anybody connecting to relativity using Linux client to Linux server? If so how are doing this?

Problem AcuXDBC does not support the SQL LIMIT function.  MySQL has a LIMIT function which does what it implies.  For example this returns only the first row:       SELECT * FROM MYTABLE LIMIT 1; When doing this with AcuXDBC there is a syntax error reported. Solution AcuXDBC supports use of the TOP function to accomplish the same thing.  This returns only the first row:      SELECT TOP 1 * FROM MYTABLE;

Downloaded product along with release notes then downloaded vcvs2017-30.exe and installed it having installed MS VC community onto a Win10 Pro X64 laptop. I have the following problems:   1.  The application name of Microfocus Cobol is not in the Start folder so have to start Visual Studio but MF Cobol is not shown.  I have run the install (repair mode) but this did not fix it then ran install to remove it then I re-installed. There are items in the MF folder but not VC start etc.   2.  When using the license manager directly, it says it cannot find any products when I try to activate license.  This is in all cases of 1.   3. Going to the website (ending with PE) it just goes into the generic location for VC trails etc so not helpful.    

Hi there, my name is Ruud and I'm new to this community. I've been a AcuCobol developer for over 25 years now and I trying to start using version 10 at the moment. Does anyone manage to print a bitmap with the new -P PDF option? It seems to me that the WIN$PRINTER-routine is ignored.

Does anyone know how can I detect when Windows enters tablet mode in my cobol program.   Regards, Georg#NetExpress5.1

Good morning, I need to change the hard drive of the computer where the NetExpress 3.0 is installed, please can someone tell me the procedure so I can get a new key respose. Thank you very much.Pedro Frongillo

Hello, We've been trying for a couple weeks to get a trial running with Acucobol 10.1.1. We dropped in the trial runtime binaries and when executing our application it immediately pops up an error about AcuSQL runtime not found.  Its there, in the PATH, just like our old version was. I even used activator to activate the trial license, which seems to work ok.  The runtime files are all in /opt/acu/bin which is symlinked to /opt/acucorp/901/bin.  I've updated that for 10.1.1, and I've put them in the same path, and even directly into /opt/acu/bin and still get this error.  /opt/acu/bin is in the system PATH too.  Anyone have any pointers on this?  We really need to get this testing so we can move to the newer versions of Linux. (old system is on Ubuntu 12.04)   Just to note, our old 9.0.1 runtime runs ok (sort of) and without the acusql error on Centos 7.4. One thing that confuses me. Our old Acucobol required me to setup a Makefile an

Hi all.   I have a function which saves text data to a log file.  I want process A to write a bunch of data (an XML transaction) and THEN have process B write some other data. Currently the function opens the log file with extend, writes the data, and closes the file.  (The write uses "WITH NO CONTROL").  Most of the time things are fine, but the red hat enterprise server it's running on will occasionally merge the output together - character by character so it looks encrypted!    I know I can fix this by simply adding an extra step - try to lock the file and keep trying until it becomes available.  I'm wondering if there some kind of setting that will 'chunk' the data together so the two processes do not overlap each other.   Note: I'm fairly sure I already tried "BLOCK CONTAINS" a while back, with a size large enough for the chunk of data - didn't help.  Runtime is version 9.2.1#ACUCOBOL9.2.1#unix

My working environment: a new install of Windows 10, extend 10.0.0, Visual Studio 2013, .NET Framework 4, 64-bit OS but coding for 32-bit, executing from AcuBench. I have been working with this particular project since September.  I have a Visual Studio project that is called from COBOL.  It was working fine, until a couple of weeks ago.  I had been running Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 10.  My hard drive had problems, and I had to wipe it and reinstall everything, so now I have a clean install of Windows 10.  My data files were saved, so I was able to copy them back into my working environment.  Since the rebuild, I have gotten the dreaded "Invalid Class String" error.  I had previously built the AmortControl sample project, because it has objects similar to what I was trying to do in my project.  It also had been working fine in my former environment.  So as a test, I rebuilt AmortControl, and it also has the error occur now.  This le

I can do a  set prop on “cols” to give me 10 columns call wowsetprop using win-return vsgrid-h         "cols" 10   But when I try to do a set prop on “ colposition” or “colhidden” just for example I keep getting errors.   call wowsetprop using win-return vsgridU-h "colposition" 0 2 this should move column 0 to column 2 but I get this error.   It is like only the simple properties you can set at run time. This is all totally new to me so any ideas would be appreciated.   thanks

Is it possible to go through a group of radio buttons with the up-arrow key? To go through the group of radio-buttons with the down-arrow, left-arrow or right-arrow key is no problem but the up-arrow key causes an exception.  Does anyone here has a solution for me?   Kind regards,   Emmie#AcuCobol

Hi, I am getting the Activation failed message when I try to activate the free trial of Visual Cobol PE. I used the same email address that I entered to download the product. How should I activate?   Thanks, Chris

Dear Sirs, I use NetExpress 3.1 and created a View. It turns out that when I run a select from it, I get the following message: [ODBC FIREBIRD DRIVER] [FIREBIRD] Dynamic SQL ErrorSQL error code = -204 Table unknown VPRODUTOSLINHA at line 1, column 494 exec sql create view vProdutosLinha ( Vid_produto, Vproduto_nome, Vproduto_numero, Vid_secao, Vid_grupo, Vid_subgrupo, Vid_unidade, Vid_codigo_ncm, Vcest, Vsituacao, Vatualizacao_data, Vatualizacao_hora, Vatualizacao_login, Vpis_cofins, Vid_produto_linha, Vlinha_numero, Vlocal_compra, Vlocal_entrega, Vmargem_venda, Vcomprador, Vnome_reduzido, Vcod_tributacao, Vid_produto_balanca, Vpdv, Vid_produto_derivado, Vcobertura, Vpedidos_filiais, Vid_fornecedor, Vsecao_numero, Vgrupo_numero, Vsubgrupo_numero) as select p.id_produto, p.produto_nome, p.produto_numero, p.id_secao, p.id_grupo, p.id_subgrupo, p.id_unidade, p.id_codigo_ncm, p.cest, p.situacao, p.atualizacao_data, p.atualizacao_hora, p.atualizacao_login, p.pis_cofins, p.id_produto_linha,

PROBLEM The C$SOCKET function to create a client connection sometimes fails using extend 10.x.x whereas it appears to be working in previous versions. RESOLUTION The C$SOCKET function to create a client connection has always assumed that the server name passed is filled with LOW-VALUES on the right, though this was never documented. As a result, sometimes this function would work correctly, and occasionally it would fail. If you right-fill the server-name variable with LOW-VALUES, this will always work. Starting with version 10.2, this will no longer be required.

PROBLEM When using C$JAVA, CJAVA-NEW does not allow for a return status value like CJAVA-CALL does. That means that CJAVA-NEW will not be able to tell you if there were any unhandled exceptions.  RESOLUTION CJAVA-NEW returns a handle. This handle is playing double duty as the status value and the object handle. When treated as a signed int type the object-handle will be negative upon error. The same errors are used as the other status variables. For example the CJAVA-NEW code in the runtime has explicit checks for CJAVA-INVALIDARG (-1) and CJAVA_NOMEMORY (-9). When positive it is the object handle.

Helo guys I want to create one application from scratch where I want  if anybody login to system I want to display the system generated POP up message ( "dont update install any software") .    please suggest in which language should I do this project , I was thinking to do it in ASP.net , if anyone have ideas or reference code please help me out.

if ANYONE KNOW PLEASE I WOULD LIKE SOME INFORMATION MORE ABOUT THE TOPIC.    Ektoras Giorgos Tsiriopoulos skype: giorgos.tsiriopoulos mobile: 30 6971850044 email: giorgos_gts@hotmail.com#UWP#AcuCobol#VisualStudio#acubench

Hi We used TRANSLATE-TO-ANSI and we want to changed to a normal code page His there a way to convert data !!!! Thank you!

I use C$XML to build a file, but when the amount of add siblings or child's is about more than 690.000, suddenly the RETURNCODE shows a ZERO value. One example gives total 695.311 add child's and siblings and the output is 772.899 lines with 25.980.683 bytes(24.7 MB). An other not right ending file has 695.360 add child's and siblings and the output(not compleet) is 773.892 lines with 26.066.944 bytes(24.8 MB). Example last lines:           <sbLine>            <nr>1425</nr>            <jrnID>19</jrnID>            <trNr>5380046</trNr>            <trLineNr>5380046</trLineNr>            <amnt>502.50</amnt>&nbs

Estimados  Disculpas por escribir en Español, pero a veces es dificil explicarse en otro idioma cuando la consulta es complicada. Un cliente tiene la misma FD de Archivo para nnn archivos físicos.. Es decir, por cada día tienen un archivo de Facturación, Items, N.Crédito, etc..  Lo hacen así por el enorme volumen de facturas emitidas diariamente.. El problema es que no se como hacer para crear un ODBC pero que permita ubicaciones dinámicas...   Se debe crear un catálogo o Tabla para cada día del mes ?   Existe alguna forma de que en base a la FD luego en la aplicación .NET uno pueda definir a que archivo físico conectarse ?   Imaginen si la aplicación .NET debe recorrer toda la facturación de 1 mes... debe abrir y cerrar 31 veces la misma tabla.   Espero puedan orientarme..   Muchas Gracias   Pablo Tilotta

Hello Visual COBOL Community, this is a request for your support.  We're looking for developers that can provide us feedback on a new feature introduced into Visual COBOL 3.0, called reversible debugging. This feature is available in Eclipse and for the Red Hat platform only. If you can spare some time to try this feature and provide your feedback directly to me, please do get in touch directly at the email address below. Kind regards, Scot Nielsen COBOL Product Director scot.nielsen@microfocus.com

I have been trying to install Visual COBOL for eclipse for Windows (Personal edition) and am not able to activate the product. I am using the same email I used for registration and I am still getting the Activation Failed when using automatic activation. Manual activation leads to an email with Authorization Process Error. Following the response in similar posts I have emailed at supportline@microfocus.com with all the details. I got a call from them telling me they cannot do anything without a service contract and redirected me here. Can anyone help with this seemingly prevalent issue?#VisualCOBOL#activation#Eclipse#COBOL

 Hello, I have Visual Studio 2017 Community edition installed on my computer and registered on the Micro Focus website to download Visual COBOL. However, I cannot get the license activation to work. I've tried this multiple times and still get the same errors.  

I download the free trial visual cobol for visual studio but it is not possible to activate

Good afternoon, I was wondering if you might have any suggestions regarding an issue where multiple Windows workstations on a network that have a local versions of RMCOBOL (20 user license) installed are getting error 250's even though they have fewer than 20 sessions of RMCobol open.  When a workstation closes out, it is almost as if it is not releasing the license back into the pool for other users.  The issue is resolved by a reboot, but it is cumbersome and is inhibiting productivity.
