With the CALL 'CBL_DIR_SCAN_READ' using dir-handle entry-data   etc.   I receive the date-stamp when the file was modified. But I don’t need the date it was modified, but the date a file (JPG) was created.  Is there a possibility with NETEXPRESS 5.1 to receive the date and time a picture (file) was created? Windows Photo Gallery. gives the possibility to read and change all these tags, but can I do it from within NETEXPRESS? thanks Rolf

Hello, Just wondering if anyone else has run across this. We are running Server Express on Linux. I can enter numerics from the keypad of my keyboard when in the shell but when I bring up a my COBOL program, numbers are not sent when typing them from the keypad. The numbers at the top of the keyboard work fine. I'm running with the Putty emulator and my TERM type is xterm. The xterm setting in terminfo is: infocmp#       Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xtermxterm|vs100|xterm terminal emulator,        am, km, msgr, xenl,        cols#80, it#8, lines#25, vt@,        acsc=jjkkllmmnnqqttuuvvwwxx, bel=^G, blink@, bold=\\E[1m,        civis=\\E[?25l, clear=\\E[H\\E[2J, cnorm=\\E[?25h, cr=^M,        csr=\\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dr, cub=\\E[%p1�, cub1=^H,   

Hi, In NetExpress 5.1, is there any way to specify ordering for a Group Box (without having to go through the array and rewrite it)?   For instance, if I wanted to order the contents of the Group Box by customer number... Thanks, Fran De #groupboxordering#sorting

Hi, I am working on visual cobol with below three components: 1. cobol  managed code. 2. wrapper class program 3. .net application. currently i am trying to invoke a method available in cobol from .NET with the help of wrapper  class, but i am facing a error of parameter mismatch as the  cobol dll contains method parameters of  'microfocus.cobol.program.reference' whereas .NET variables are of native .NET types . Please let me know how can i resolve this.

Hello. I replaced my test printer software. HP LaserJet P2035 to NPI6ED50E (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw). This printer does not recognize the user orientation and page size. Printed from right to left leaving plenty of space left when the report is smaller horizontally than the size of the paper. Can you give me some suggestions to solve this problem .

Hi In our current project we are using 7 modules of Micro focus COBOL. There are 4 modules which are COM modules and having Compiler directive set as OOCTRL. Rest 3 modules are using Entry Points with DynamicWinAPI. And they all are clubbed in to an DLL. Which is used by C to call COBOL Modules.  Now we are removing C and Upgrading from C to .NET.  Because of this change the above DLL will be consumed by .NET. When we try to Register that DLL with REGSVR32 , We are getting error "DLL was loaded , But the DLLregisteryServer entry point was not found". Do we have to change the existing code? and what needs to be changed? Please suggest what we should do to rectify this problem. Thanks Charan #COMerror#DLLError

Problem Liant products store their license information in a license vault.  It is sometimes necessary to obtain a report on the licenses installed into this vault. Resolution You can determine what licenses are installed on a machine by executing the following command from the "SupportTools" subdirectory of your Liant product installation: suptool1 productview **The output of this command will contain the license serial numbers that are installed, and the use counts for those licenses that are located, in the vault.

I have a SQL stored procedure that requires one input value and returns 2 output values. How do I code this in Visual Cobol?

We have been facing an issue with Characterset in Combo. Since ours is a global application, each of the country stores the information in their local language. The data is shown properly on all GUI objects except for Combo, where we loose the characters of Country. The irony is that they are retrieved from same Oracle table. Can someone please share their thoughts on to address this issue ?

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 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
