Rocket® COBOL

We are currently using v10 and are planning to upgrade to v12.14 during the 4th quarter.  Has anyone made such a large jump in versions?  Where there any issues/problems when you did so? Thanks, Linda Praed International Medical Group

we are using Visual Studios 2015 I need Visual COBOL Personal Edition 2.3 with update 2 for class but only seem to find a download for 2017  can someone please help

We just started testing our programs on Centos 7 and are finding indexed file reads to be much much slower than from Ubuntu 12.04.  On our original server and dev server, we would handle about 35,000 records in about a second, and now we only get 1000 records a second (just rough timing estimate).   Other programs reading SQL data and file writing and reading thousands of records are very fast, so its just the acucobol thats going slow.  This cobol program is only reading a local file, no databases.  Wondering if anyone has an idea on the issue? One note, which may be the issue.  For our upgrade we simply copied our runtime to the new server for testing, and looks like verything is working, except performance is bad.  We have version 9.0.1.

Have a datagrid that I built and would like to read thru the entire grid after its populated to print all the data on a report.              <DataGrid x:Name="dataGrid1"                               ItemsSource="{Binding}"                               MouseDoubleClick="DataGrid_MouseDoubleClick"                              SelectionMode="Extended"                <DataGrid.Columns>     

Is there a way to not include all the programs in the actual project, but instead have a program within the project call other executables (GNTs) in a known directory and just run them?

Is there any documentation, methods, or tools to convert Workbench character screens to Visual Cobol or do they need to be recoded from scratch?

Due to requirements of our authorities I have the following  XD definition          XD CATALOGO-XML.        01 Catalogo identified by "catalogocuentas:Catalogo" namespace is            "www.sat.gob.mx/esquemas/ContabilidadE/1_1/CatalogoCuentas".           02 XSI-C PIC X(145) identified by "xsi:schemaLocation" is                attribute count in XSI-C-count.           02 XMLNS-C PIC X(45) identified by "xmlns:xsi" is                 attribute count in XMLNS-C-count.         02 Ctas-c identified by "catalogocuentas:Ctas".      &n

Hello, has anybody some experience with the C library pdflib (http://www.pdflib.com/), either version 9 or 7 (the previous free one) under RHEL ? I have been trying to use them under Centos (=RHEL) 5.9 or 7.2, either 32 bits or 64 bits but encounter problems with "signal 11". Regards,   Alain

Hello, i've been wondering if someone knows where to get a comprehensive guide or examples on how to use the Debug utility within RM/Cobol. I know there are some indications in the RM/Cobol User Guide but english is not my mother languaje. And for me is easier to understand via some examples.   Thanks in advance.   David L.

this has referance to your query 1. every cobol (mocro focus,Rm cobol, microsoft cobol coms with builtin vary good debugging tools with excellent animation facility    this is the only very strong advantage in coobol 2 . I have tool which will not only generate entire suit of cobol source but excellent debugging tools for animation.  3. for this you need not refer any manual as all the manuals are useless and most complicated to understand even if you know English. 4. I have never read any manual for this and you also need not read any manual which will confuse you more, hence it is best that     you do not know English. 5  if you want i can physically show  you not only animation debugging  but also generating source code even at DOS  or windows operating      system . 6. this is possible by using teamviwer or any other emulation software, 7 I am from india and used various  cobol on multiple platforms for more than 25 y

 I have a form that has input fields and output fields and I can clear the fields when I  click on my reset key. How can i get the cursor to position to the first input field so the user doesn't have to re-position manually by clicking on it? I have VC 3.0 for VS 2017.#cursorpositioning#VisualCOBOL

According to the documentation the phrase background-rgb applies also to grids. So I tried to modify a row but the compiler (v10.0) does not like it: modify my-grid y = 5 row-color background-rgb x#eec300. Am I doing it wrong or does it simply not work ?

Hi, A customer of ours is currently using Visual COBOL under Visual Studio 2012. We are discussing the possibility of upgrading them to VC 3.0. Because of other constraints the customer can potentially use Visual Studio 2012 or 2015. In order to understand better whether an upgrade of Visual Studio from 2012 to 2015 is worthwhile I would like to find out what differences there are in the developer experience on VS 2015 as compared to VS 2012. So my question is: What differences there are in the developer experience on VS 2015 as compared to VS 2012 using VC 3.0? Is this documented in a concise way anywhere? If so where can I find that? Many thanks, Leigh.#VisualStudio#VisualCOBOL

I am starting to self learn Visual Cobol.  I know and understand Cobol (68 & 74).  I am struggling with Classes and methods.  I can find examples of invokes for various situations but can't find any basic straightforward examples that I can follow and use. It would be nice to have a basic introduction to classes and methods for Visual Cobol showing examples and solutions for simple programs. I would then be able to build on this knowledge in more complex situations.  I would have thought that this would have been the place to start so as to encourage newcomers to use Visual Cobol.  There are many people out there that would like to learn programming and Cobol is a good place to start.  Anyway.... I am trying to create 1 Solution with 2 or more Projects using Managed Cobol and WPF windows. Project 1 is a WPF Menu (TBMenu) window from which I want to invoke Project 2 which is a WPF data input (TBOrderInput) window. Each time I build the solution or start

Hi all, I have tried to add a group of users which allow them to access by password and it works well.

Hello, After I downloaded Visual COBOL Personal Edittion, I do have some problems with activating the free product.

How do I fix this? - Thomas#help#COBOL

Hallo I would like to ask about the documentation of visual Cobol, I need the explan for some properties of some controls but I couldn't find it.    

Our company has converted an application that utilized old Workbench and Dialog online screens into a Winforms application.   We have successfully tested the Winforms screens.  But we ran into issues when we piloted these new screens with some of our business users.   They utilize a product called Cicero Automation that allows our call centers to automatically maneuver and input data into many different administration applications.  For some reason our pilot users will have their laptops lock up and freeze when using the new screens.    Has anyone in the community had a similar situation occur to their application and if so what you did to resolve the situation?I do not believe this is an issue with our underlying Cobol code.  We are using Visual Cobol 2.1 Update 1 with Visual Studio 2015.

Boa tardeEstou com problemas na compilação de programa no Visual Cobol for Visual Studiovou tentar te explicar.Antes no NetExpress 3.1 alguns programas era compilado da seguinte forma:CBLLINK -S -D -G SIS-CONB.CBL ODBCRW32.LIBcom isso ele gerava a rotina SIS-CONB.DLL já com a biblioteca ODBCRW32.LIB já incorporada no programa e rodava sem problemas em nosso sistemas, hoje eu compilo da mesma forma no VCVS 3.0 não me da erro nenhum na compilação, porém da o erro Error code: 174 - "ERROR CODE: 174 - IMPORTED FILE NOT FOUND durante a execução, tentei compilar sem a biblioteca, ai ele muda o erro para "Load erro: file 'mssqlm2' error code: 173, pc=0, call=1, seg=0 173 Called program file not found in drive/directory".Eu preciso de compilar com essa biblioteca porque executo comando SQL nesse programa e se não coloco ele da erro bem na linha de comando abaixo:EXEC SQL CONNECT USING :TEXTO-VAR
