One of our customers experience problems, with error message complaining about cblacme.dll not existing. This happens when the customer is running on terminalserver, not when it is running directly on the server. When googling cblacme.dll - a lot of links is pointing to AcuCobol /Micro Focus as software producer og this file. What is this file - what does it do? Is Micro Focus the producer of this file? Why is it only necessary when running terminalserver?

I am trying to do the tutorial CREATING WEB FORMS IN COBOL. Everything is fine until I double click on the search button to generate the click event code.  The Class-ID comes up as _Default which gives compile errors when I add code to the Class later on. Have I set up the web site incorrectly?

Ich möchte gerne auf diesem Weg die Meinungen von anderen Teilnehmern über obiges Webinar erfahren. Persönlich bin ich sehr überrascht, dass nur kurz am Schluss auf den „managed Code“ und .NET eingegangen wurde. Für mich ist Visual Studio fest mit .NET verbunden. Vor mehr als 10 Jahren habe ich die erste Applikation (SOAP-Webservice) mit Visual Studio und Net Express with .NET erstellt. Heute kann man klar sagen, dass Cobol (auch) eine .NET-Sprache ist. Trotzdem findet man in Stelleninseraten immer wieder Texte wie „Für die Umstellung von Cobol auf .NET suchen wir …“. Hier ist Micro Focus gefordert, mit guten und umfassenden Informationen Klarheit zu schaffen, was mit diesem Webinar kaum erreicht wurde. Cobol als .NET-Sprache bedeutet auch, dass man damit Zugriff auf die vielen Funktionen des .NET Frameworks hat. Auch gemischtsprachige Applikationen sind kein Problem, da die Parameterformate über die verschiedenen Sprachen geprüft werden. Unter diesem Titel des Webinars wäre als Beispi

Hi, Is there a way to capture the actual finish reason when leaving an entry field? I mean, besides of getting EVENT-TYPE = MSG-FINISH-ENTRY (16393), I would like to know which was the key used to leave the entry field (e.g. TAB, Shift TAB, ENTER, mouse action...).  Thanks.

Hi everyone, Is there a way to capture function keys (F1, F2, etc.) while being in a grid's cell in entry mode? I can only get EVENT-TYPE = MSG-FINISH-ENTRY (16393) and KEY-STATUS = W-EVENT (96) everytime I click F2, which are the same values I get when I hit Enter, so I don't have any means to recognize a function key within a cell.   Thanks.

A LONG time ago we used the GLOBAL clause in the FD's of native .exes so that the .exe controlled the OPEN and CLOSE of files and called .dlls just read and wrote them. UNFORTUNATELY, that code was lost to the mists of time. Today we want to resurrect that functionality, but in Managed COBOL. I've put together an .exe that has FD LOG-FILE IS GLOBAL and does OPEN, WRITE, invokes a .dll, WRITEs again, and CLOSEs. The .dll (class) has FD LOG-FILE and does a write, no OPEN or CLOSE. Everything works in VS Debug mode until the WRITE in the .dll, which gets a 4/8 File Status and "148 Wrong open mode or access mode for write". Does anybody know what I forgot?

In case of Migration from Mainframe Cobol using MF Enterprise Server, if the user want to migrate from CICS screen to JSP for example,  does the call action from Cobol need to be change to Visual Cobol  provided by MicroFocus syntax or can remain the same syntax as in legacy Mainframe.

We experienced the following unter AcuConnect 9.2: Our Call C$SYSTEM with CSYS-ASYNC = 0 doesn't wait anymore for the Call to finish and the program runs independently. How can we re-establish this functionality ?

Hi Chris, Thank you for all the help above. We are going for an end user license for our development environment. For UAT and Production we are going only for the run time compiler. Here wanted to ask a question.I would be having the .o file which are object files and needs to linked to create executable. Since UAT and PROD will have only run time compiler, will the command like below run fine to link the files and create executable pgm1.out cob  -xv  -o   pgm1.out   pgm1.o  subpgm1.o  subpgm2.o

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?

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.

"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
