I load VS2022, and no VC options appear in the IDE.I have tried to repair the VC installation, but it gives error 0x8007000a. How should I proceed to have a correct installation? Regards

My new host runs 5.14.0-362.18.1.el9_3.x86_64.  I am used to Server Express 5.1 running on an older OS. Can I use Server Express 9.0 on my new Oracle Linux host? Someone told me I can't and need to go with Visual Cobol Development HUB for my development and install Cobol Server for my runtime. Is that the best route to go? I will be installing both on the same host running Oracle Linux 9.3. The current user of Cobol on the older host just executes things via CLI.  No X-Windows. With Visual Cobol Development HUB and Cobol Server he can still do that correct? thanks!   Roy M.

Hi, we are currently migrating a big application from BS2000 mainframe to linux using MF Visual COBOL V9. There are indexed data files that contain 2 identical data sentences (completely identical - indentical primary key aswell) in mainframe. Is there any chance in MF VC to use ISAM files with non unique primary keys? Thanks in advance! Paul#Mainframe#COBOLMigration#ISAM#VisualCOBOL

The new WEB-BROWSER2 control works different from the old control. Before I could drag a file onto the control and I would get the MSG-WB-NAVIGATE-COMPLETE event and with that I had the filename. Is there a way this could work again or does anyone now a work around?#web-browser#extend

Using thin client runtime 10.51 for Linux.  If I create a WebView2 browser control in our application, then call another program which creates an activex control, I get a memory access violation.   Windows (not thin client) does not have this problem.

Created On:  01 June 2010 Problem: How do I avoid failure of installation of NetExpress 5.1 under 64-bit Windows 7?

We are in the process to migrate 30 millons LOC written in Cobol Micro Focus using embedded SQL for Oracle, to use PostgreSQL database. We know that there are some open source pre compilers like gixsql, but we are interested in the official support from Micro Focus, is there a supported pre compiler for PostgreSQL?#PostGRESQL#precompliler

It is not easy to find the correct commands to control excel interface. With the Macro Recorder it is very easy to find the VBA-Commands! Now i search a converter from VBA to Cobol? Thanks for help!

Hullo all. I hope the collective intelligence of the community can help guide us here. We have a large-ish program written & running under AcuGT (Extend) for Windows. It has a Windows UI. It is a real-time transaction processing engine with a UI to monitor and control the activity. So it runs in 2+ threads but its a single program. We want to split this into two programs: A transaction processing engine that runs as a Windows Service, so it launches on boot and is always running. No UI at all. A UI that interacts with the above program. Ideally we would just take the existing code - the current UI thread - and make minimal changes to it, so it will still be an AcuGT/Extend program. But users could launch/run it using AcuToWeb. We want to put minimal effort into this, as it does not extend the functionality of our product, it just solves some security + remote-access issues. It should not be too hard to simply split this one program (currently implemented as two threads) into

Hi, II have configured two systems; the first system has run time folder as swrun.16 and the second system has swrun.17. I want to install/register some components into the run time folder programatically.Could you please suggest a way how to dynamically determine the Runtime directory? Thanks, Aji Cherian

Hi all. We will be interacting with electronic labels, and the API is a bunch of restful web services, so we'll be using the RMNET routines.  I know the C$SOCKET functions are not "thread safe" because if you wait for a response, all threads will block (my manual tells me so!) but I was wondering about the RMNET routines.  Do they have the same limitation or can I launch a thread to do the API transaction, while the main function continues on?  The manual doesn't mention either way.

I do not work with this program, but am trying to assist in a server migration that involved upgrading Syspro which utilizes Micro Focus components. Upon trying to run an install, I receive this error message: 0x81f40001 - Micro Focus COBOL Server 3.0 must be uninstalled before continuing.  I feel as if I have tried everything and removed everything I could find to no avail- I keep getting this error. Where does this live and how does one remove it?

Hi I'm in process of upgrade applications from RM version 11 to RM ver 12 and for testing I'm using version 12.17 with WOW Extensions same version. The thing is that in version 11 I've used the form property WSDefinition in order to develop more complicated and large programs and also faster compilig. But when I use the test version 12.17, I got an error compiling when WSDefinition is enabled.  Is there something am I missing?. Thanks for any help.
