Problem: RM/COBOL can load a configuration file, automatically, when it is executed.  This functionality is, also, available in the Xcentrisity BIS product. Resolution: Xcentrisity Business Information Server allows you to automatically load a configuration file when a service program is executed. The configuration file has to be located in the BIS execution directory and has to have a specific name. To become effective, however, you must restart the BIS Service Engine. Since the commands used to start, stop, and restart BIS differ from OS to OS, please refer to the BIS Users Guide for detailed instructions on how to do this for your platform.UNIX Apache BIS:Default execution directory : /usr/local/liant/bis/bin/Automatic configuration file name: "xbisengd.cfg"Windows IIS BIS:Default execution directory (for version 12): Program_Files_Dir\\Liant\\BISv12 Automatic configuration file name: "xbisse.cfg"*An automatic configuration file, when found, is proc

Hello, I got this:  ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION. FILE-CONTROL. SELECT F1 ASSIGN TO "test.dat". I get this error at the last line: "Invalid ASSIGN name" which is "test.dat". I've also tried the whole file path but it still doesn't work. The file is in the same directory as the program file. Anything on this? - Thomas #File#Assign#COBOLFILE

I am doing research in order to use Acu4GL to possibly convert from Vision index files to SQL.  I would appreciate advice from someone with this experience.  Have just started research so any knowledge or suggest places to research would be helpful.  Thank you.

Hello All,    Intel chip is little endianess (LE) wheres IBM and Solaris is big-endianess(BE) and this is causing me lot of trouble when I am trying to run my application on Linux platform (running on Intel chip set). Traditionally our application run on Sun Solaris based server, code gets compiled with Server Express ver 5.1 and executed in Dell Clerity Unikix TPE/BPE environment.    Now I want to run my same 32 bit COBOL-CICS application on Linux. My application is using COBOL pointers, Oracle database, MQ, C programs, assembler routines and I suspect that this LE and BE switch causes some problems. This could be either in different compiler settings  required for LE (as compare to BE), usage of comp/comp-4 vs comp-5. Errors I am getting are like 'Memory out of bound, program is trying to access memory not assigned to him', error pointing to insufficient access to Oracle database, while executing CICS commands error is "203   &nbsp

Problem When attempting to Install Visual COBOL Development Hub, Visual COBOL for Eclipse, Enterprise Developer, or Enterprise Server for Unix or Linux, the following message is received. Problem backing up /VisualCOBOL to /VisualCOBOL.BKP..   ("VisualCOBOL" being the intended installation location of the Visual COBOL product.) Unable to continue with update of product.    Resolution It is possible that you are attempting to install in the root directory of a mount point.   The installer attempts to backup the existing directory to a name.BKP directory at  the same level, if the installation directory value chosen is an existing directory. For example, if the installation chosed, is /opt/microfocus/cobol, the installer will attempt to back up the directory as /opt/microfocus/cobol.BKP. However,  this is not feasible in Unix or Linux if the installation directory is the root directory of a mount point. You will need to specify a directo

Can you download both eclipse and visual web developer to the same machine and use either one for coding cobol programs?

Right now we have Adobe X.10 and the print command works wonderful for printing a PDF through the network to network printers. Once we upgrade to Adobe XI that no longer works. I knew it would come someday. Has anyone gotten a free method to work. I have checked the internet and found one possible fix. Wondered if Visual Cobol users, found another solution.#Abobeandprinting

I'm using the ACUXDBC driver to update a single field in an UPDATE statement. My statement is thus: UPDATE Orders SET RECORD_DATE = '2015-02-27' WHERE TRANSACTION_NUMBER = 906944200 When I run the above statement I get the following error. ERROR [HY000] [TOD][ODBC][GENESIS]VISION: Cannot update 'Orders',Record not found The only problem is the record *does* exist because when I do a SELECT as in: SELECT RECORD_DATE FROM Orders WHERE TRANSACTION_NUMBER = 906944200 It finds and returns the correct value for the row in question. So I know the record exists, and I know it can be found, but for some reason the XDBC driver is telling me that it cannot be when I try to do an UPDATE. I have tried updating a different field in the same row and it works fine. This statement runs without any problems. UPDATE Orders SET mkting_unit = 1 WHERE TRANSACTION_NUMBER = 906944200 Any thoughts? Appreciate it!#AcuXDBC#update

I'm trying to read and right from flat files in codebehind in a web app project. It works the first time through. Subsequent executions create the error message below until the default app pool is recycled in IIS. I've heard from other users that maybe flat files can't be used in codebehind. Is this true? Do I need to call a separate COBOL program to use a flat file? I would like to avoid making a call every time I want to access a file, because each call requires several lines of code to use a rununit to handle multiple users accessing the webpage simultaneously. Here's the code causing the issue:        class-id WebStressTest.LOGON is partial                 inherits type System.Web.UI.Page public.                  ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.        CO

Hello (again). I have a program that reads records in a .txt file. Depending on the content of that fileit will determine what program is to be CALLed next. The records are read into a structure in WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. The content of the txt file is written manually. http://puu.sh/hhyKO/3210509123.png If someone is very interested: http://pastebin.com/bjWsUUtN The CALLed program displays "hello"... The main issue is that TBN01002Tbe called. I have displayed f1-prg and it displayes TBN01002T, so I don't see howTBN01002T could be a problem. Any help would be very appreciated! - Thomas #COBOL#call#EVALUATE

Why, when I set a variable to a new instance of List[string], do I get an IList[string]? They aren't interchangeable and by giving me an IList[string] I have no access to any properties or methods not part of the IList interface such as AddRange which is a method of the List class but not part of the IList interface.   This seems to be a bug in your .NET implementation. What do I need to do to get a fully functional List[string] object? Thanks.#IListList

OK, I have put together a scenario where I have a Native Console COBOL program code calling (invoking) a Managed Win-Forms COBOL program code (class/method).  This was based on the CCW tutorial plus lots of additional assistance with things like Interfaces (thanks all!).  I have attached what I have so far in 2 zip files (2 different solutions - one for the caller and one for the called). My question is:  How would I also "call / invoke" this very same code from another Managed program code (class/method) - (another Managed solution) ???

I am going to be downloading a copy of Visual Cobol on my labtop and am wondering do I need to install a Visual Studio copy to edit and work with the programs?
