Hi all I upgraded solaris 10 11/06 to 1/13, in test environment,  but when I try to start runcbl in debug mode ...I see this error in the logs:   ld.so.1: runcbl: fatal: libclntsh.so.10.1: open failed: No such file or directory profile set correctly the library path: LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/lib://u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/lib32:/opt/acucorp/721/lib: ORACLE_SID=XXX ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oraclePATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/OPatch:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:.:/opt/acucorp/721/bin ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2 VISUAL=vi TERM=vt100   but when I launch LDD: bash-3.2# ldd /opt/acucorp/721/bin/runcbl        libclntsh.so.10.1 =>     (file not found) --------------->?        libkstat.so.1 =>         /lib/64/libkstat.so.1        l

Button control is being displayed as expected in windows 7 machine but in 2012 server it displays more like a label(just as s flat control , doesn't highlight the borders when focused) . Is there anything i need to take care of in 2012 server side? This is a winforms application developed using visual cobol 2.3

Hi Guessing this kind of thing has been used by many COBOL programmers. There is a TABLE of 10-digit numbers. User enters (ACCEPT) how many such numbers they require. an ARRAY of 5 x 2-digit RANDOM numbers is loaded. That ARRAY ( 10-digits ) will be added to the TABLE. Seems easy enough, but DUPLICATES in an ARRAY need to be prevented. I suspect (hope) there might be an algorithm that will cope with this in one go ??? Thanks in advance. cheers  

Is the Add as Link feature disabled in the free trial download? It only lets me use Add.

Hi, Has anybody come across running COBOL programs in containers in the DC/OS environment, and if so any problems that were encountered. Many Thanks.

Hope it is OK to ask an Enterprise Developer question in this forum.    Running ED v2.3.2.   Managed COBOL.   Refactoring an existing copybook that is used by 200 programs and would like to change the copybook, compile a single program and test the change before initiating a full build. I've been unable to find any option that allows me to compile a single program.    The project is set for 'Use dynamic calls' in the Build Configuration preference and each program is built independently when the build is requested.     In order to initiate a build I've been using the Project -> Build Project option.   This will usually only compile the program I've changed if it was the source module that was changed.   For copybooks I don't completely understand how it is determining what needs to be built. Is there any way to work within a shared copybook, but only compile a single module for development/unit testing before

Buen dia amables desarrolladores. Acudo a sus conocimientos pidiendo por favor me ayuden en el uso de excel desde cobol nativo, jamas abia utilizado estas funciones y necesito tomar un archivo generado con el delimitador "|" y mediante codigo cobol nativo exportarlo a excel. He utiliazdo un codigo de ejemplo que ha posteado anteriormente Chris: *---------------------------------------------------------- --------------- * Save Excel File * * This example program demonstrates how to use the Excel COM * server support to create a new spreadsheet, populate it with * graph data and then prompt the user for a filename using the * GetSaveAsFileName method and then save it using the SaveAs * method. * * This is a modified version of the demo that is supplied with * Net Express under the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Net * ress 5.1\\Examples\\Net Express IDE\\COMDEMOS\\EXCEL folder. * * Also demonstrated is the support for using Named Parameters * in the COM methods. *----

Hi, I'm new in this community. My question is in the subject. Is possible to create a CodeBridge DLL with MingW? I'm trying to build a library and I whant to use the GNU libraries.   Regards. Carlos.#CodeBridge#RMCOBOL

Hi, I would like to ask whether it is necessary to install unixODBC on my HP-UX server if I want it to connect to the MySQL which is also installed inside the same server. If it is not necessary to install the unixODBC, can anyone please guide me on how to configure the connection of MySQL to AcuSQL? Thank you very much and sorry for the hassle.

I have a form in C# that receives a parameter would like the cobol call this program passing this parameter, the form would open and show what came from cobol?namespace nomeprograma{ public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } public void QualMsg(string MSG) { campo.Text = MSG; } }}Thank you!

We where using  TRANSLATE-TO-ANSI                1   Since we move to 10.1 we try to used   COBOL-CHARACTER-SET              ANSI   It is not working!

Hi, We need to reference an assembly that is the output of our daily build. The project of the referenced assembly lives in a different repository. It would be handy if we could use nuget, or are there other workable solutions? Greetz, S#VisualStudio#VisualCOBOL#nuget

I was reading this about file mapping but the link provided on 'filename mapping' no longer works.  So where might that chapter now be? This might be helpful: community.microfocus.com/.../configure-the-visual-cobol-file-handler-to-access-acu-vision-or-rm-indexed-files

I am guessing I should use Managed (might as well make the program be able to run under .NET as well as JVM) then after that I am not sure.  I suppose Console Application would be a fine but I am now wanting to do any interactive responses.  Just read in a file and take some of the data and spit out a new file.

Hi there, Can I pop-up a standard Windows error/info box from a VISUAL COBOL program without calling MF Dialog/winForms etc? On launch my program looks for a config file and I'd like to pop up a simple error if missing/invalid. I could use display but a standard windows pop-up would be better.  Thanks, Linden

After learning all the basics of COBOL Analyzer with Getting Started with COBOL Analyzer it's time to extract the extra value by learning how to use the different analysis tools that are part of COBOL Analyzer. In this module you will learn: How to use the Diagrammer tool How to define relationships you want to diagram How to use the Interactive Analysis (Hyperview) tool How to use code searches and code search reports How to use the Glossary to review conventions How to add Business names to data items How to use the Change Analyzer * This module is a continuation of the getting started tutorial and uses the same example sources.Module 7 -- Working with Analysis Tools.pdfModule 7 -- Working with Analysis Tools.pdfModule 7 -- Working with Analysis Tools.pdf

Hi, One of our clients updated its OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10. After that, all the entry date controls on our Acucobol custom software show wrong values or nothing at all.  We have tried to change the Windows properties for date format, language, region. All we get at most is a partial view of the dates, but if we click on the date entry control everything disappears or it just acts weird, showing only the hyphens or the slashs. They have the most recent version of the runtime 10.1.0 We have installed our software on other Windows 10 PC's and we don't have this issue.   Any suggestion please?

Trying to open a nex module, By just clicking it getting above Error 

I am trying to run program thru BAT file it goes to PC driver module and it is not able to call the program. and gives return code zero.

I closed some panes and now I can't find what option (I suspect under view) that shows the input fields for Name, Location, Solution, Solution name and a browse button.   How do I get it back?   I suspect there is a video on Visual Studio but that would be from the MS side.

What are your reasons for relinking the ACU-GT runtime? If you're adding functionality by including C functions, is there a reason you can't create a DLL or Shared Object Library (SO) and call that instead? If you're adding support for your own File System, is there a way we can make that easier, so that you can write your own DLL or SO instead? Are you relinking for some other reason? What? I am just curious.#relinking#VisualStudio

Completely by accident, I see that it's <theoretically> possible to expand and collapse portions of COBOL source code.  Just thrashing around, I somehow managed to create little and - signs next to the line number, just before column 1, and that clicking them causes code sections to appear and disappear.  My problem is that I can't find documentation about how to create, delete, and generally manage the expand / collapse function.  I would be most grateful to be pointed in the right direction.
