Our application is a collection of originally Unisys mainframe tasks (IBM jobs) that over the last 18 years we have converted to Object COBOL, then Net Express, and finally Visual COBOL 2.3 for VS 2013 Update 1. Each task consists of an .exe using a Screen Section and DISPLAY/ACCEPT to input run parameters calling a number of .dlls and passing the run parameters through a Linkage Section. Every task is executed from a single parameterized .bat file that, among other things, sets the console redirection switch and appends all program DISPLAY output to a log file. This gives us a record of everything that happens in a run. We are converting this application from native console/libraries to web-accessible ASPXs in #C (replacing the .exes) and managed COBOL (replacing the .dlls) The ASPX program starts the log file by writing some initial info and then closes the file. Each called COBOL program then opens the log file in EXTEND mode, writes (DISPLAYs have been converted to WRITEs)its

We installed COBOL Server 2.3 Update 1 on a Windows Server 2008 server with File Share as the only server role installed/setup/enabled. Our IT security people periodically run a commercially available network scanning tool they refer to as ACAS in order to assure compliance with all of Navy's rules. The following is an excerpt from an e-mail my supervisor just received from them - The software/website is part of the Micro Focus DSD package. It's likely an embedded webserver installed as part of that package. There may be an update to the software, or there may be no way to fix this other than through the vendor. This is the output from the ACAS plugin: When processing the following request : GET / HTTP/1.0 this web server leaks the following private IP address : 172.17.5.118 as found in the following collection of HTTP headers : HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: Micro Focus DSD 1.20.15 Cache-control: private,no-cache ?Pragma: no-cache Expires: -1 Content-Type: text/html Set-Coo

Hi,  I am currently facing problem of 'Memory Access Violation' on Windows XP PC.  I had try to compile the program with -Za to see whether isn't the error is come from out of range index file or any linkage error. But when i run i didn't get any message about out of range. It will just prompt the 'Memory Access Violation'.    1) May i know that is there any minimum memory required for ACUCOBOL 10 to be run in Unix environment with 150    user?  2) May i know that PC level for running ACUCOBOL 10 thin client environment, have any minimum memory needed?    Thanks You.   

We use PKZIP to programmatically make backups from within our application. I have a problem with only one file that gives an error "Warning! Could not open file VPMS2006.pay". I thought it might be that the file is in an open state but that was not the case. The file select is : SELECT MIS2FLASSIGN TO RANDOM MIS2NAMEWITH ENCRYPTION COMPRESSION COMPRESSION CONTROL VALUE 70ORGANIZATION IS INDEXEDACCESS MODE IS DYNAMICLOCK MODE IS AUTOMATICFILE STATUS IS DSTATRECORD KEY IS MIS2KEY-NEW. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks, Lourens  #AcuGT#extend#COBOL

Problem: How to change the default userID for remote reconnections in the Eclipse IDE. When creating a new remote connection the userID field in the Eclipse IDE will be populated with the currently logged on Windows user ID.  This can lead to problems when connecting to a remote Linux/UNIX machine as the userID’s on those Operating Systems are case sensitive whereas this is not the case in a Windows environment. Resolution: The Eclipse IDE allows for the setting of the default userID values per remote connection type. To make these changes:Start the Eclipse IDE and from the pull-down menu, select Window\\Preferences\\Remote Systems to display the list of remote connections defined on the machine.The userID fields can be edited by clicking on them.  Click on the “Default User ID” field for the relevant remote connection and ensure the value exactly matches (case sensitive) the Linux userID.  Click OK to save the new settings which will now be used when c

Dear Chris, We just migrate an Application from RM Cobol to Visual Cobol for Eclipse and we noted that our Files are very diferent in Size. Could you please give a reason for that ??. Regards     TAMAÑO EN RMCOBOL = 514490368   TAMAÑO EN VISUAL COBOL = 1241272408      ( como tuvimos problema con comp-6 , lo eliminamos y dejamos con comp-3, tiene las mismas clave principal y segundarias)

I'm a legacy programmer new to this environment.  I used IBM DB2 on the mainframe and would like to use DB2 here with Visual Cobol.  Can anyone tell me where I can find the software for free to download and use with my environment VS 2015, VC 2.3

When I use Visual COBOL to open tutorial projects, I saw strikethrough fonts (cross line fonts) occasionally appearing somewhere. Both on Windows and REDHAT: on REDHAT: I really want to know how to eliminate those annoying appearance.Really appreciated for any hints.#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#Linux

For embedded DB2 SQL application, I figure it out that I can use command line to create the application. cob64 -C MFSYNC -z -o myTest myTest.cbl sqlca.cpy -L/home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib64 -ldb2 -ldb2gmf But I got this error : /bin/ld:sqlca.cpy: file format not recognized; treating as linker script/bin/ld:sqlca.cpy:1: syntax errorcollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status But if I rename sqlca.cpy as sqlca.cbl.  run above command line as: cob64 -C MFSYNC -z -o myTest  myTest.cbl  sqlca.cbl -L/home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib64 -ldb2 -ldb2gmf Everything is fine.  Why cob64 does not know to compile sqlca.cpy file but only compile sqlca.cbl file? But in Visual COBOL, it uses sqlca.cpy without any issue. Appreciated for the help. #sqlca.cblsqlca.cpyVISUALCOBOL
