Rocket® COBOL

Good Morning, I have a program that is located on a Windows 2008 or 2012 server which I am trying to run from a Windows 7 64-Bit Professional desktop.  When I try to run the program I get a windows error and the program does not run.  I have attached a screen shot of the error. I have this running in other sites with the same configuration. Any advice? Thanks, Bob

Hi, How to create an EXE that can be executable on any PC by using Silk Test 16.0.2.7495. Thank you.

the Call to Winapi MessageBox is a very easy way to send short messages. But does somebody know how I can, in the same easy way, place this Box on a certain position of the screen?  Often the screens are very big and the message appears in the middle of the video and not on the active window. thanks for help Rolf

FileChangeNotifierVC.zipProblem: Is it possible to monitor a specified folder or filename for any changes that may occur from within a Visual COBOL Windows Forms application? Resolution: Yes it is possible to monitor either a specified folder or filename for any changes and to fire an event when a change does occur by using the .NET System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class in conjunction with a timer event. There is a demo program attached to this article called FileChangeNotifierVC.zip. Please unzip this to your computer retaining the folder structure in the zip file. Open up the FileChangeNotifierVC.sln file in Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2.2 update 2 or higher. This is a Windows Forms application that will monitor the file system for changes to a specified folder or filename and will report those changes in a ListBox control on the form. The contents of the main form program are shown below: *--------------------------------------------------- * FileChangeNo

Hi all, Hope all is well. I just have a query about printing to pdf.  Basically, we moved from Net Express to Visual Studio 2010 a short while ago. Some of our programs stayed as native code. One of these prints to an Adobe pdf file using Courier New font but with mixed font sizes. The program worked fine in Net Express but is terribly slow to run in Visual Studio. What took a minute or two on the old system is taking 20 minutes in Visual Studio. The issue is definitely due to the font size as changing everything to print the same font size means the Visual Studio program runs fine. It's not ideal if we have to do that which is why I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution? Many thanks if you can help! Another thing I noticed with pdf printing in Visual Studio is blank line spacing seems to be greater than in Net Express, causing our report lines to "creep" down the page. It meant I had to adjust the page overflow lines. Again, I didn't expect to have to do t

HiWe have a customer running thin client at Faroe Island and the Acurcl is based on our server in Copenhagen, version 9.2.1 and they are complaining about the performance. Of course it is the connection, and they have a connection with 20 Mbit Down   and 10 Mbit up , but a slow ping  (around 65 ms). How much does this Ping influence in the performance. I have read about  AGS_RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE and AGS_SEND_BUFFER_SIZE but I can't se any changes in performance, when I change these settings. Has anybody got similar problems with slow Ping, and how have you optimized your system. Is it possible to reach a satisfied performance with such a slow Ping ?Does anybody know a good way to measure performance in a thin client environment ?Best Regards Steen

I was trying to test out some code in regards to the date in Visual Studio Cobol and I temporarily changed my system date on my computer. Now when I try to start VS I get "Unable to obtain the requested license Error 26: Request denied due to clock tamper detection". Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? The email I used to activate VS Cobol is tye_huggins@stu.indianhills.edu. Thanks for any help.#COBOL#VisualStudio#Error26-productlicenceclocktamper

We would like to call a COBOL DLL from a Java Class compiled in Java jdk1.8.0_40. We have the mfcobol.jar from our NetExpress 5.1 environment (5.106.0079) - Windows 7 (6.1 Build 7601) Service Pack 1. The DLL is compiled with SERIAL directive and linked as Shared, Dynamic and Single-threaded. We get an Unsatisfied link error when calling the DLL from Java. Do we need a Jar - mfcobol.jar - that is JRE 1.8 compatible?  #mfcobol.jar#JavaClass#jdk1.8

Thanks for reply,, this error it happened only in one program calls an other 2 programs, the called program reads a record form Indexed file then it called a sub-program which makes some calculations in that record and gets the results back to the called program. I'm in editing phase I tried to animate it, but no progress, because it happens after  reading hundreds of records, I made a manual break point to the certain record no when it stops, but I did  not reach that number because it does't stop on the record number,, I've read a lot in the Web concerning this error, mostly they say the mfc42.dll is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.  therefore I made a trial installation for Netexpress 5.1 in other machine with a fresh Windows 7 installation, then everything works fine.   in my situation I can't do that because I'm restricted with installed response key for Netexpress. so I thought of an other solution: I copied all the logic f

Kindly would you tell me how to do the repair ?? is the  uninstall  ((uninstall  programs  in Control panel)) ??. what  about If I do reinstalling of Windows 7?? as far as MFC42.dll is a part of Windows OS

I am looking for but cannot find a function that will return the contents of a folder (i.e. the filenames that are in the folder) back to my NATIVE COBOL program I have looked through the File Handling Library Routines and none of those seem appropriate The MS-DOS DIR command does this - is there a VC equivalent to the old DIR command?

I ran into this error as I was defining my file. My file has 1435 fields and I got this error right around the 850 feild. If I use just 849 fields defined it works fine. Once I use the 850 field I get the error.  Any suggestions on how I can fix this error and continue on. Thanks Chris

Problem A user is trying to open a Relativity catalog, but is getting format errors within the designer tool. Why is that happening? Resolution As part of the process of creating a Relativity catalog, the file manager needs to be identified. For the majority of cases, this is the RM file handler as the data files are RM files. It is possible to configure Relativity to access MF files, so the file handler needs to be set to the MF file handler. Once the catalog file handler has been set, not only are the data files accessed using the specified file handler, but the catalog is also created using that file handler. This means that if the MF file handler is used, the catalog is created in the Micro Focus format, not in the RM file format. When the catalog is deployed, or the location is moved (eg moved from a development machine to a deployment server), the same version of the file handler needs to be present so that the catalog is correctly accessed.

Please keep an eye on the RM/COBOL Blog for more information on the release of the RM/COBOL products for Windows 10. Incident # 2829050 #Windows10#RMCobol

Is there an easy way to read Environment variables set by an other program  or a .BAT file  ore by the System?    I want to read the Contents of the  PATH   or   TEMP   or  PROMPT,  ETC.      Or must I make and execute  a BAT file from the program? Can I also SET These variables from within an COBOL program?   Thanks for any help Rolf

I have just converted a NetExpress to Visual Cobol 2012, and when I start the project, I get an error message that CBLRTSS.dll is not found.  I have looked in the BIN64 folder and it is not there.  Did I miss a download or a directive in the conversion?
