How to know how many rows have my project or solution I´m using VC2010 2.2

New to COBOL, I'm a student and im required to download this program for my Business Systems Programminv class. But im not able to install the program because it says that I'm in need of a 32-Bit Oracle Java 1.6 or higher. Can anyone help me find this? I've downloaded the latest Java that I think it is requesting and that's at version 8. #VisualCOBOLJava

I have a small Project that contains 3 programs PROGA is the 'driver' and sets up a common data file and then calls PROGB which processes and then PROGB calls PROGC and further work is done PROGC then returns to PROGB which then returns to PROGA PROGA then sets up a fresh load of data and calls PRGB again, and so on This all works well and is extremely fast However, the behaviour of PROGB changes because some of it's WORKING-STORAGE values are not being loaded as intended For example, if I have the WS entry as this 77  FLAG-A   PIC  X(001) VALUE 'N'. and PROGB sets it to 'Y' during it's first run, FLAG-A is not being loaded as value 'N' when PROGB is called for the second and further times My workaround is to discover this each time and MOVE 'N' TO FLAG-A early in the processing for PROGB which works However, I most probably do not have a parameter set correctly Is there a specific way to CALL or prepare in advance a prog

We recently ran into a problem with our NetExpress apps and Windows Server 2012 R2. Runtimes suddenly slowed down by a factor of 5 to 10 times. We had clients report the same thing. Someone in the ACU Cobol form had a solution and it worked for us as well. Funny thing is some installations of Server 2012 R2 run fast without turning this TSFairShare off. If anyone else has any comments about this problem we'd like to hear them. community.microfocus.com/.../11887.aspx http://www.ryslander.com/disable-fair-sharing-in-windows-server/ https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/ad88f010-3130-4fa0-ada8-f5245c153858/rd-session-host-slows-down-program?forum=winserverTS

This article describes the method for expanding copybooks in the CodeWatch source editor. Problem: By default, the CodeWatch editor collapses copybooks contained is a source file.  However, sometimes it is useful to view the contents of the copybooks expanded, in-line, in the source. Resolution: You can expand/collapse copybooks in the CodeWatch source editor by toggling the "COPY Files" settings in the "View" menu. Alternatively, you can instruct CodeWatch to expand copybooks, by default, by adding the following option to your CodeWatch configuration file ( %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Liant\\CodeWatch\\RMCW.ini )[Editor]AlwaysExpand=Y

Hi, I am getting Error 26 - Licence validation error when I try to use Visual COBOL PE. It appears that validation error was caused by me changing system clock for DAY-OF-WEEK testing. (Had to change clock to see of DAY of week code was returning correct value). Could you please re-enable my licence? I should have Timed licence until 1/24/2016. One of the following emails was used for product licence registration: lazarenko.luda@gmail.comlaza0027@algonquinlive.com Thanks.#Error26-productlicenceclocktamper

Hi In our project earlier we were using a unmanaged DLL that was consumed by C . Now we are migrating from C to .NET. So the same DLL can not be consumed by .NET. The problem statement:- The COBOL program "Prog1" inside the DLL is having 4 Entry points. As read from some of the threads we are trying to create a COBOL COM wrapper Class from File -> New->CLASS->COM Component. This will create a new class in a new Net Express project. then We tried to create 4 method using Class wizard in this Class for all entry points.  1. Like Method1 for Entry1 2. Method2 for Entry2. Now we are not able to understand how to make a call to existing (Prog1) COBOL program for an entry points in the Method. We also tried the below option: Method 1()            :declare in local storage of method 1                     77 default-entry-point  procedure-pointer. :Code in Mehtod     

Hi, Something happened and now if I try to compile to generate an int file under Visual COBOL for Visual STUDIO, I receive FILE I-O ERROR on the .int file and nothing is generated. I am using cobol myfile.cbl int() ; from the Visual COBOL Command Prompt 32-bit

hi, on netexpress 5.1 the function numval of a string don't give abend . On mfe, instead, it give abend "181 invalid parameter error" the source NUMB PIC 9(18) comp.

In the doc on Interoperability, the link "To use CCW to expose a .NET class to native COBOL" appears to be a broken link. Thanks, Austin1

We're trying to troubleshoot some sporadic crashes in an ACUCOBOL 9.2.4 program that interoperates with a C# DLL. Our configuration file has the following setting: ACU_DUMP 1 This does cause a dump file to be created for some crashes, but not all. What tools/techniques can be used to troubleshoot the sort of crash that prevents the dump file from being created? My first thought is to try using procmon, but I just wanted to see what else this community would recommend. Thank you!#ACUCOBOL9.2.4#Crash#AcuCobol

I have a program in cobol wow that is called to create a file. The main program only does the following: perform process-1 thru exit-process-1. The process involves reading a file to finish creating other new features. While running the process "read next" I want to allow the user to press a button to cancel.On the form I have a button that says "press here to cancel". During the process I need to know if the user presses the button to cancel. The question is, what code should I include in the process for detecting that was pressed the button "cancel" and proceed to go to the exit-process-1.

I have imported a Net Express project that uses Dialog System into Visual COBOL.  When I try to run in I get "DSRUN error 18,0,0". I have added the Addpack for Visual Studio 2012:  compataddpack2012_222.msi Is there some other step I am missing?

I’m looking for some alternatives to printing documents with graphics/logos from Linux, and I’m interested in what other people out there are using?   Currently we are using thin client to windows clients with a Linux data server.   For printing we’ve always stayed internal to runtime, printing graphics and logos by using win$printer commands passed to the windows print spooler. As our output has become more complex we’ve run into speed issues with this approach. So we are now looking into alternatives. We do not have any issues getting the output  converted to PDF, or in front of the client’s eyes but with generating the graphical elements themselves outside of win$printer.   Initial thoughts are to generate a HTML report on the server side, or start exporting data in a flat format to be picked up and output by a report writer.   But I was wondering if anyone else has already crossed this bridge or has other insights as well? &nbs

Hello, We use to debug an application with cobanimsrv under ServerExpress 5. We start cobanimsrv and then start an application that calls a daemon to communicate with cobol. When cobanimsrv is started, it waits for our application to start. Once we have launched our app (via Adobe Air), we can debug the cobol code with anim. Is there an equivalent of the cobanimsrv command for VC2.1 for Eclipse in order to debug a program from inside Eclipse ? Thank you Alain

Hi, what about the SQL Option to set the application name - any restrictions with Microsoft SQL Server? I tried the following: exec sql set option APPLICATION "MyAppName" end-exec exec sql connect to :db-alias  user :user-passw end-exec The connect works as usual but APP_NAME() in SQL Server is not affected, it is empty.

Hello, I have been trying to send mail using cURL from Cobol. I took an example from this forum but I am stuck with the mail body: Here is the link to the example from cURL http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/smtp-mail.html.

Hi, guys!Living in a country that uses comma as a decimal point (1.000,00), I found a bug in the decimal-point is comma declaration.After using a mask to accept input:w-Number   PIC  9(02)V9(02)w-Number-e      PIC  Z9.99 It displays "0,00" but it ignores the Z, and after moving the mask to the proper variable, it continues to have the default value:move w-Number-e to w-Number.#decimalpoint#comma#COBOL
