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.

Good afternoon, all.

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

Thanks.#COBOL#license

 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

Hi,   I would like to print a pdf file using the new enhancement of ACUCOBOL-GT. In the documentation, it mentioned " In the documentation, it mentioned, "Use the -P PDF filename syntax in your runtime configuration file to write output to a PDF file named filename".  Where can I find the runtime configuration file? And how exactly can I get it to generate pdf file?   Any help I can get is very appreciated. Thanks!

I am trying to install Thin Client 10.0.1 msi using GPO(Group Policy), which I have done for years with version 8. The install seems to take place, but the client PC hangs and the user can not log on. The issue appears to be the acceptance of terms after the install.  Has anyone else had a problem with this?

Good day, I am setting up a Multi-tier environment for AcuToWeb where the   HP-UX Server (Back-End), installed running with [ AcuCobol-GT runtime AcuConnect ]  currently. Linux Apache Server (Web Server), installed running  [Apache, Acu-To-Web ] currently.   My questions are: 1) Both HP-UX and LINUX must install with Acu-To-Web?  2) If YES, then I need to purchase 2 licensed, HP-UX and LINUX? 3) I only want to purchase 1 license; therefore I have to configure HP-UX using Apache?#acutoweb#AcuCobol#license

 I need a solution without a C routine.  I am already using a dll and cannot execute another with this program.  So I need a way from cobol to check to see if a file exists.  This file is not a cobol indexed file it is simple a file on the hard drive I need to look for.  Does anyone have a good suggestion? Tom if you are listing thanks in advance.#RMCOBOL

 At times the debugger will not process a line of code. This happens most often in trying to load a 2000 entry internal table in cobol . i have tried to use move compute and set on one particular line of code thinking it might be the command but it still will not execute. Is the debugger part of VC or VS? thanks #VisualCOBOL#debugging#COBOLENVIRONMENT

I am migrating the netexpress COBOL to Visual cobol with eclipse but few programs which use below pointers are not working when compiling in visual cobol dll. for example Netexpress Cobol has "SET  ADDRESS OF WS-COMM-AREA TO RCL-HCOMMAREA". I am trying to compile the same program in visual cobol with eclipse and generating the dll. Does the above pointer logic works statement works in visual Cobol?#COBOLVISUALCOBOLMIGRATION
