Hi All: I'm using screen section to browse through a database table and I want to be able to insert a record at any point in time. How do you make the screen section go blank, so you can put new information in? Thanks in advance#insertrecord#screensection

We would like to integrate our application software with a Verifone platform that uses an MX 915 device for credit card processing.  The device communicates via sockets and initial testing on that part of the process seems to work well.  However, part of the full integration has to include "registering" the device with the POS and in order to do that, we have to generate an RSA 2048-bit key that we can send to this device and get back an encrypted key that we will store and send along with the transactions to process. All of this with creating these keys is a bit over what we typically do and we have no experience with this at all.   Can anyone provide any ideas/suggestions/how to even get us started in the right direction? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Rebekah

Hello, We've installed version 12 of the 64-bit Relativity ODBC client. and have run into a problem where we are unable to retrieve columns.for a very large table.  The error we receive is: [Liant][Relativity][Client][SimbaLNA][Liant][Relativity RM Server][CRDM]Too many columns. Some columns are omitted We are accessing the table via a linked server on SQL Server 2012 (x64).  Even if we modify our query to select a single column (ie select ProblemColumn from TheTable) we still get the message. Is there an option for the driver to return more columns or some other solution? Many thanks, Scott

At very complex queries with WHERE-clauses and joins between any tables I do not get any successful answer by AcuXDBC Server. I get message "Network Connection lost (recv) Unknown error". Can anyone tell me why this exception throwing? I suspect, it is a timeout from (AcuXDBC) System, but where can I change timeout settings? Simple queries without WHERE-clauses and joins work successful. Thanks.#ACUCOBOL9.2.1#AcuXDBC

I need to give a message in a aspx application, for example when the user clicks on a button displaying the message.

I have some data elements defined as external and when I debug the program and try to do a quick watch or add to the watch list the value is not available.  Is this just an issue with external defined items?

HI, In my project i am working on a scenario where a .net wcf is accessing native cobol code through the wrapper class program. The wrapper is added as reference to .NET As of now the wcf is hosted on IIS and when i execute the service it asks the native dll to put at certain location(bin folder of iis\\inetsrv), now i am trying to access the native code from a specific location,other than the location it asks for . I have tried to use the 'PATH' environment variable in the cobol wrapper code to set the path to look for dll but its not working, so anyone have any other idea to access the dll from the specific location. Please help. Thanks Anand

I´m using the VC  2.2.00151 Trial at home to develop small projects that will be inserted in the book I'm writing "Introduction to Visual COBOL .NET" and when I insert parameters directly in the method signature, instead of the procedure division gives error. In version 2.2 Upgrade licensed works perfectly. The trial version does not support this feature?

I am a former COBOL programmer and Systems Analyst looking to get back into coding. I want to sharpen my skills so I have signed up for the Personal Edition. I need to know what version I should load...I am operating on Windows Vista, Service Pack 2, 64 bit and  IE9.The choices are 2010 and 2012. I also need to know what web training is availabe for the Personal Edition. I don't need COBOL training but rather training on how to navigate Visual Cobol.

Hi  I would like to try profiling my programs but simply cannot figure out how to do it, so I wonder if one of you clever guys can tell me how? I am using Visual Cobol 2.2 PE.  Regards Henrik Wivel 

Anyone have some Crystal Reports use of example with Visual Cobol, thank you

Hi, Can any one advise how to convert the following code to Visual Cobol, thanks.

Hi, I'm developing a windows application that prints from a txt file.  I used a Menu Strip item to invoke the Print Preview Dialog, but the print button inside the dialog automatically uses the user's default printer.  How can I change the print button, inside the print preview dialog, to invoke the Print Dialog instead? Thanks, -Phil#FormVisualCobol#COBOL#class

Trying to install Cobol Server 2012 on a brand new Windows box.  Trying to run a web program (originally developed in NetExpress but recompiled in VC 2012), but the only thing that happens is the browser asks if I want to download the file. Comparing to my NetExpress server, I see that the /bin folder for the MicroFocus server is in the path.  Does that folder need to be added to the path on the new server, too (not sure since I don't see anything in the docs indicating that I need to do so)?  If so, since it is a 64-bit machine, do I need to add /bin, /bin64, or both?#COBOLserver

I have got following Situation. If you want to create System catalog entries you should write xfilename#tablename#filename  AcuXDBC user's guide says at page 5-15. It means xfilename                Name of XFD filetablename               Name of database table use via AcuXDBCfilename                  Name of physical VISION file Now, I have got any VISION files with equal XFD-structure and I want to join them to one table. Following example: #xyz.xfd#xyz_table#xyz_file_1#xyz.xfd#xyz_table#xyz_file_2#xyz.xfd#xyz_table#xyz_file_3 More than one physical VISION files should be join to one AcuXDBC table. All data are supported by one table. Is it a way to do this? #filename#AcuCobol#AcuXDBC#Vision

Hello, We are attempting to move from a Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2008 R2 server. We are using a software program called Quantum that runs on RM/Cobol, I am getting this error. RM/COBOL Runtime - Version 12.02 for 32 bit Windows. Error invoking unauthorized copy of runtime Windows Firewall error (Loc 314). Stopping the Windows firewall service allows the program to run but obviously I don't want the firewall disabled, I tried adding an exception for the runc.exe exe but that does not work. Does anyone know what needs to be open for the program to communicate, (i.e. ports, executibles, etc.) Thank you, Jay
