Dear Chris,   Windows 10. Versión Visual Cobol      : vcvs2015_23.   32 bits. Versión Visual Studio 2015: vs2015.pro_esn. 32 bits. Versión Sql Server 2008   : SQLEXPR_x86_ESN Service Pack 3. 32 bits.       1.- Trabajando con el proyecto creado para Visual Cobol en Visual Studio 2015, de repente Visual Studio 2015 se quedaba pasmado y no contestaba, no permitía hacer nada en el, mandaba un mensaje que se estaba ejecutando algo internamente y que si seguía así continuamente, hasta ahí se cortaba el mensaje, se dejaba al menos 30 mins y no contestaba, había que cerrarlo con administrador de tareas.   2.- De repente Visual Studio 2015 se reiniciaba solo y había que esperar a que volviera a funcionar.   3.- Con esta problemática se opto por desinstalar Visual Studio 2015 e instalar Visual Studio 2017.   Windows 10.

Good day everyone, AcuToWeb technology is awesome! It could just setup and deploy directly with a connection gateway will point to the alias which defined at server side without any code change. The problem comes when the performance across network LAN, MAN and WAN with different type of devices, preferences as well as security. Any recommendation and suggestion for the performance boosting where the architecture setup in LAN. The describe architecture as below: Server A [ AcuCobol-GT, AcuConnect ... data & programs ]; Server B [AcuToWeb ]Client A [ desktop ]; Client B [ smartphone ]All the Servers & Clients is setup in LAN running Class C network route, 128.150.69.254/24  I had setup and run AcuToWeb correctly with the active alias but experience long time loading up the program using a HTML5 supported browser, tested with Chrome and Firefox for both clients. The programs is display and functioning correctly but the time when loading up sub-routine, recursi

I'm working on a POC migration from mainframe to open system. I would like to know how to connect to db2 database using visual cobol? Is there any change we need to do to the existing cobol program which is calling db2 database?

I am working on a modernization project wherein a part of code is there in COBOL. I need to download Visual COBOL to compile and see if it works fine and there is no issue. Can someone please guide me as to which version must be downloaded or if any threads are there to look into for reference.

Hello!! I'm still new to AcuSQL. May I know if it is possible for me to setup the AcuSQL to connect to MySQL without using UnixODBC or MySQL Connector ODBC? Please note that both AcuSQL and MySQL are installed on the same server. And all the programs are saved and compiled inside the server as well. Besides, is there any other file that I need to edit aside from "config85.c" and "Makefile (which I haven't change anything since I don't plan to use ODBC)" in order for AcuSQL to connect to MySQL? Thank you. 

Good afternoon, I'm trying to generate a binary sequential file from the recover2, as follows: Runcobol recover2 k C = runcobol.cfg A = 'ORIGIN PATH, DESTINATION PATH, NOSUB' And it generates the following error: COBOL I / O error 30, UNIX error 32 on PRINT-FILE file PRINTER.tination available. The file size that is created is 1.13 GB. The runcobol.cfg is in the following way: RUN-FILES-ATTR large-file-lock-limit = 8 RUN-SEQ-FILES use-large-file-lock-limit = yes Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, I am doing some test from the recently published Visual Cobol ebook by Micro Focus, the test is simple, but I'm trying to understand what's is wrong when I upgrade the java 8 jdk version. step 1 - create a HelloWorld.cbl with a simple sentence: display "Hello World" step 2 - compile with cobol HelloWorld.cbl jvmgen; step 3 - with java 8 update 51 run (from the Visual Cobol Command line 32 or 64 bits) the demo : java HelloWorld and runs ok step 4 - uninstall java 8 update 51 and install java 8 update 131 (the latest), add the environment variables JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH and add JAVA_HOME to the beginning of PATH variable JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_131 CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\\lib PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\\bin;C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Users\\Aheredia\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps; step 5: start a visual cobol command line (32 bits or 64 bits) and try to run the

Hi, We are using PC_PRINTER_LOAD_BMP Cobol routine to print BPM files, but according with the documentation this routine also support others file types like BMP, GIF, EXIF, JPG, PNG and TIFF.So we try to print a JPG file but always we get the return code 18 (Failed to load bitmap) Has anyone been able to print another type of file? call "PC_PRINTER_LOAD_BMP" using printer-handle by reference "mflogo.jpg" & x"0" by reference bmp-id returning printer-retcode. We are using Visual Cobol for Eclipse 2.3 Update 2 Hotfix 1 thanks,#VisualCOBOL#BPM#jpg#Printer

Hi, Acuthin is now failing with UNC path naming to find program, message program not found or inaccessible.  Our working directory in alias.ini and our wcblconf code and file prefix directories are all UNC pathing and this was working fine until end of May.  Now we received the error message.   We have moved the program to the bin folder and of course it works fine and proved that this is not a commucications issue.  We cannot keep the programs in the bin folder.  Something else broke the UNC naming is our thoughts. Has anyone a solution or suggestion.  Much appreciated.

I Try to start CES daemon in the list of installed services. It fails to start. This after windows update.

I am looking for a spell check program that I can call from an RMCOBOL program. I have written a small word processing program to create a medical report. I am converting from UNIX to WINDOWS. Under UNIX I used a program called ISPELL that was accessed through the 'call system' command. I am trying to find something similar to use under V12 in Windows. Also am looking for a Fax program which could be accessed similarly. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Using DYNAMIC.CBL from \\NETEXPRESS\\Examples\\Net Express IDE\\ODBCESQL as an example, I have written a program to test dynamic SQL against a SQL Server Database.  I was wondering if there is a way to declare more than 1 DYNAMIC_SQL cursor?   I first coded and tested retrieving data from 1 table using the following cursor: EXEC SQL    DECLARE VCURS CURSOR FOR DYNAMIC_SQLEND-EXEC Then, I added a second cursor to retrieve data from another table in the same database: EXEC SQL    DECLARE VCURS CURSOR FOR DYNAMIC_SQL END-EXEC EXEC SQL    DECLARE cursortest CURSOR FOR DYNAMIC_SQLEND-EXEC However, it fails compile with the following error: "ES0100 Duplicate cursor name: cursortest" I am using NetExpress 5.1 version f.110.0022 and SQLServer 2012.#SQLserver#SQL#EXECSQLEXECUTE#cobolnetexpress#MicroFocusCOBOL

 I have tried to register a couple of times over the past few weeks with my free trial license number with no success. I get no response at all not even that I am being rejected, if that is the case. I was wondering if there is some way to contact Micro Focus to find out what my status is. 

Hi, I need some information regarding the visual COBOL. My current project is using VB6 as front end and Microfocus Netexpress COBOL as backend. Now my company is planning to migrate Netexpress COBOL to Visual COBOL.  In this migration, I will be using the same COBOL modules and generating the dll's and exe from Visual COBOL with .Net. Does these load modules works on VB6 application? Any inputs on this are very much appreciated.   Thanks, Vinod #VisualCOBOL

Problem: I am a systems administrator responsible for licensing Server Express on Linux/UNIX systems, but I am having trouble understanding the licensing system.  Where can I find an overview and a summary? Solution: Here is an overview of the Server Express LMF/Apptrack licensing system on Linux/UNIX.  You should read this if you are responsible for administering Server Express on Linux/UNIX systems.  This augments the official licensing documentation.   Instructions for accessing the official documentation are included below. DEVELOPMENT VERSUS RUNTIME LICENSES For the LMF/Apptrack licensing system, there are two types of licenses: development licenses and runtime licenses [other types such as Enterprise Server licenses also exist, but consider just development licenses and runtime licenses for this discussion]. Development licenses control the use of the COBOL compiler. They are officially named "Server Express" licenses. Runtime licenses control the ex
