Problem: Using release 10.0 of AcuXDBC to generate a new system catalog, all the GENESIS_* files are created as VISION files of version 6. This may create some troubles when the syscat is deployed to environments where older AcuXDBC drivers are already installed. Resolution: VISION version 6 is the new default for ACUCOBOL-GT file system in release 10.0. Although the version of the newly generated files can be configured at run time (V_VERSION configuration variable), this cannot be done using AcuXDBC tools. There would be some enhancement in the future, but for the moment the only way to have older AcuXDBC to work correctly with this kind of catalog is to rebuild the new GENESIS_* files. i.e.:  C:\\>vutil32 -vMicro Focus extend file utility version 10.0.0 C:\\>vutil32 -rebuild -5 -a GENESIS_AUTHSC:\\>vutil32 -rebuild -5 -a GENESIS_COLUMNSetc. #10.0#AcuXDBC

Problem: A field is defined in Oracle as a numeric with decimals.i.e.: 6,4 The corresponding field in COBOL is defined as PIC 9(6)v(4). When Acu4GL reads the value in this field, the decimal separator is ignored.i.e.: the value 1234,56 is read as 123456. Resolution: This is caused by the XFD files missing information about which decimal separator to use. Version 6 XFD files now include information about decimal points, while previous versions used to retreive the information from the COBOL object. (And if different COBOL objects were compiled with different decimal options, the results would be unpredictable.) If the decimal information is not available from the XFD, the interface uses defaults (period for period and comma for comma). To avoid any conflict, regenerate the XFD files with the latest versions of the ACUCOBOL-GT compiler. (8.1.3.1, 9.2.5, 10.0.0) The information about the decimal separator will be stored in the following records, depending on the style of the XFD file

Hello, Is there any way to prevent the window from closing use in the upper right CROSS? There are some situations where I need to control the program output mode and not allow the window to be closed by this way. Thanks Alberto Ferraz

Hello, How can validate a TEXT field if the email adress is in the correct format? (For example: myfriend.gmail.com is invalid) Thanks Alberto Ferraz

Hello All, I have run into a problem with VS 2015 not allowing me to add additional windows forms to my managed windows project. It appears that the main.dep file is corrupted. The VS Solutions window does not show the the new form correctly (no matter how many times I delete and create via "add new item" to the project... Additionally I have tried to contact MF support but I am unable to key my serial number into the form... I need a little help please... Chris... Are you around ?

Hello, In dataGrid with numeric fields (e.g., customer code) when I SORT column is all sorted alphabetically, that is, the 161 appears after 1161 (for example). Is there a way to order the same code? Thanks Alberto Ferraz

Hello, I have a screen with four functionalities (eg create   TABLES databases, CUSTOMERS, BILLING AND RESERVATIONS).  The idea is the following: when the user press OK it moves to PROGRAM.CBL.   Each time a table is converted fill the label that table and continues to the   next table until the   final message (message box) to say that the process is   finished.  I tried but I can not go to me appearing on the label filled with the word   "CONCLUÍDO“. Only appears in the options all at the end. Thanks Alberto Ferraz

Is the Call-By-Name library available in managed code? Do the calls provide the same functionality? We have a "utility" native COBOL DLL program that uses several file handling CBL_ calls; CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST, CBL_COPY_FILE, etc. We are attempting to convert this program to managed code and during execution we are getting "file not found" errors. We use dd_xxx-style environment variables to define data file paths and "xxx\\filename"-style file references in SELECT clauses. In the current test-subject solution an ASPX program calls a converted COBOL DLL that creates a "CNV\\WYP46D01.098" on the path specified by the value of dd_CNV, but the converted "utility" COBOL DLL called by the ASPX program immediately after gets "file not found" (9/13) returned from CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST when the filename parameter contains the same "CNV\\WYP46D01.098" value as the SELECT clause in the first COBOL DLL?

Is there any way to do a silent installation of extend9 with "acucobol -gt runtime" pre-selected ? I can see that this installation is an MSI installation, and I can get out a verbose log, but I can't even overwrite INSTALLDIR.#extend-9

Out of the blue I started having an issue yesterday when encountering a CBL_DebugBreak. When the break is encountered I get the usual COBOL RTS message     On selecting “NO” process carries on as usual. On Selecting “YES” I get the following memory error   "Execution error:file " error code 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0 114 attempt access beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)   Followed by   C0000005 Access Violation AT 71770278 01:000AF278 c:\\windows\\system32\\MFC42.DLL   I have reinstalled NetExpress from scratch, deleted by development dir and retaken my product install and performed a disc check but still get the issue. The error and event profiler identify MFC42.DLL as the issue. I have performed a binary comparison between this Foundation Classs and the same file on another machine and they are identical suggesting no corruption there.   Any suggestions would be great I have run out of ideas now.       #CBL_routine#cbl_debugbre

Problem: Although Micro Focus License Manager indicates COBOL Server licenses are installed, the COBOL application fails with the following error:Execution error : file ''error code: 245, pc=0, call=1, seg=0245     There are no valid product licenses Resolution: Back in Net Express, the COBOL runtime system files were exactly the same as in Server for COBOL, so it was possible to use either files to be deployed with COBOL applications. This practice is no longer valid in Visual COBOL and COBOL Server. The COBOL runtime system files in Visual COBOL and COBOL Server require their own specific license. That is, using the COBOL runtime system files from Visual COBOL requires Visual COBOL license, and using the COBOL runtime system files from COBOL Server requires COBOL Server license. COBOL Server is the deployment product, and only its files should be used for deployment. The above error is a result of running a COBOL application that uses COBOL runtime sy

Hello Everyone, Does any one have a short example on to pass a data field to a visual managed windows cobol form and then update that data in the "called" program which is also of the same type and have it return the updated data to the original program...Both programs are windows managed forms... I have no problem seeing the data in the called program.... I seem to be unable to see the updated data when the called program terminates. I know I can use a common file to pass data back and forth.... Any help is appreciated....

Dear friends. Is there any ODBC driver for NetExpress 3.1 for Firebird?

Tenho um projeto em usando o Visual Studio 2015 e esta ocorrendo o mesmo problema que acontecia com as outras versões ele perde as referências, ai temos que refazer todas as ligações isso e problema do Visual Studio ou do Visual Cobol?

Problem: The application runs fine in Net Express IDE or Net Express 32-bit Command Prompt, but it fails to run from the deployment machine and reports the following error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." Resolution: The above error is usually a result of running a 32-bit COBOL program against a 64-bit COBOL runtime. A 32-bit COBOL application needs CBLRTSS.DLL (for single-thread) or CBLRTSM.DLL (for multi-thread) from C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Server 5.1\\Base\\Bin. If you do not have Server 5.1 installed, then make sure the runtime files, such as CBLRTSS.DLL and CBLRTSM.DLL are taken from either: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Server 5.1\\Base\\Bin C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\Base\\Bin Not from: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Server 5.1\\Base\\Bin\\WIN64 C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\Base\\Bin\\WIN64

Problem: Installing or upgrading Enterprise Developer [ED] or Visual COBOL [VC] on a clean machine and pressing the Cancel button towards the end (just before the completion of the installer), might leave traces of the product installed on the system. Solution: In order to install the product successfully in the event of cancellation, in ‘Programs and Features’ (Windows Control Panel) either   - perform a Repair to complete installation of the product, or   - to remove the product, select Uninstall.

Hi, Has anyone ever used the cxml-parse-next-record op code with c$xml ? I have tried this as per the manual example but the return-code I get back from cxml-parse-next-record is 1 not a handle. If anyone has any information on this I would appreciate.

Problem:   The 9.2 documentation is not accessible from within AcuBench. Resolution: Beginning in version 9.2.0 the documentation is in the Eclipse InfoCenter format. There is a project to integrate the new documentation in AcuBench version 10. In the meantime, to workaround this you can add a shortcut on the AcuBench Tools menu: Make sure you have installed AcuBench and the Documentation. 1. Go to Programs, extend 9.2.1, and right click on 'extend9 Documentation Set' and select 'Properties'.Note on Windows 8 you may need to type 'extend9 Documentation Set' in search, then right click on it and select 'Open file location', then right click on the actual file and select 'Properties'. 2. Copy the entire string in 'Target'. 3. Start AcuBench 4. Click on 'Tools', 'Customize' 5. Go to the 'Tools' tab 6. Click the ' ' button and enter a name for the item to add to your Tools menu, let's call it: "Do
