I had changed my Date while working on a project to test out the Day of week function and now I get a License Error 26- Tampered date issue.  What can I do to resolve this.  I have a class to teach tomorrow and need to get this working again.

I have several .jpg files that I would like to add as resources.  I use these to display a variable background color for a control at run time.  I have not found a way to add them under Properties..Resources so I tried adding them in my program code but have not been successful at doing this.  Any examples on how to do this?#VisualCOBOL

Dear Chris,   Today we P5 processor development and production have at least P7, the issue becomes more complex since we are compiling in P5 processors and these binaries will be promoted to Production. At least we need to have to use the maximum P7 processors operating time production, on the other hand ask microfocus provider they point out the differences to try a compiled P5 and P7 certificate and exploited in binary.   Many Thanks in advanced.   PJM  

Hi, I am having a RM/Cobol-85 dat-file (indexed file?) which data I need to have extracted in a readable way for analysis (e.g. MS Excel). But I am not a programmer and not familiar with RM/Cobol. I am just an end user of this application. Unfortunately our programmes are not maintenanced any more. We use RM/Cobol-application on a Windows 7 platform with MS-Office 2007. Is there a way or program for an end user to extract or copy all the data of the dat-file in an readable way to MS Excel or a text file?I heard about Record Editor but I don't know how to use it, e.g. what kind of file structure it is or what is a copybook. Or Is there a way to copy all the lines as text at once of the RM/Cobol-85 window? Now I am able to copy only one line of the opened RM/Cobol dat-file window. But there are hundreds of lines there to copy. I tried to find something in the "Properties for Runtime" dialog box that sets copy specifications. But cannot find anything there. But this would a

Problem When deploying a service interface to an enterprise server instance, why does Eclipse display an 'Invalid thread access' error message? Resolution When deploying a service Interface, the following error message box may be displayed: This message indicates that an 'object' has not yet been saved prior to deploying. It could be that a Program has not been saved. This message also occurs if an Operation has been added but not saved. To resolve this issue, you can issue the Save All command either by using the icons on the toolbar:   or by clicking on 'File' and using the dropdown menu:  

Hi, I have a program consisting of 2 forms and several classes, i.e. customerclass, materialclass etc. These call an interop xfakt.dll which requires a new login for each new created instance. What I need is to share one call with all forms and classes like: 01 xfakt.  type xfakt.app . Method... set xfakt to new xfakt.app() I need to share this instance of xfakt with all other classes. Thanks in advance.

Are any ACUCOBOL customers using transaction and C$RECOVER in production?  I am interested in why, and what experience you have had in production with transaction recovery please.#AcuCobol#ACUCOBOL9.2.1

Hi everyone, Concerning data format IDX. Using idxformat with Microfocus applications, there seemed to be idx4 and idx8. So let me start by having these two kind of access; (a.) my environment variables - using Extfh.CFG and assigning "set extfh=C:\\myapp\\Extfh.CFG" for example [XFH-DEFAULT]fastread=onfilemaxsize=4filepointersize=8 (b.) and used inside my application [Cobol code], as a compiler directive $set idxformat"8" I know that the two separate command is different. It is either using one format or the other. The question is, which data format is being followed her if mistakenly executed? Would it be IDX4 or IDX8? What will be the priority in such case?#netexpress

Hi, I've installed vcvs2012_222.exe in win 8 dev environment as suggested by mf support to resolve an issue. (1) How do i update the run-time? The current installation in our run-time environment was from cs2012_221.exe. If there's a 222 upgrade different from the vsvc upgrade above, please let me know where i can find this. (2) Is the compatabilty add-pack now included in 2.2.2 i.e. do i need to install an add-pack upgrade separately in the dev and run-time environments? Thank you, Linden 

Problem: Net Express 5.1 fails to start from the shortcut and from the command line with MFNETX.EXE and reports an access violation on CFGMGR32.DLL. It may also report an access violation on RTUTILS.DLL. Resolution: If none of the following fixes the problem: applying the latest WrapPack (or Update) repairing Net Express from Programs and Features in Control Panel reinstalling Net Express then it would be worth to make sure that the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) setting in Windows is set to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only", not to "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select"

Problem: A user is granted connect, then granted select on certain tables.  Instead of being limited to only those tables the user can access all tables. Solution: The data base had been configured as READ_ONLY; this entry was found in the acuxdbc.cfg file:    read_only  true Therefore the GRANT operations could not actually update the tables containing the security settings. The solution is to set "read_only false", or to comment out that setting, then perform the GRANT operations.   

Problem: How to animate or debug a Dialog System character screen (.s)? Resolution: If the program calls Dialog System with "DSRUN", then a call with 'T' in DS-CONTROL is required before calling DSRUN with 'N' in DS-CONTROL. For example: working-storage section.[...]78 dialog-system value "DSRUN". procedure division.   [...]   move 'T' to DS-CONTROL   perform call-dialog-system    move 'N' to DS-CONTROL   move 'ScreenName' to DS-SET-NAME   perform call-dialog-system   [...] call-dialog-system section.   call dialog-system using DS-CONTROL-BLOCK,CUSTOMER-DATA-BLOCK   [...] Alternatively, you may replace the 78-level definition of Dialog System to "DSC" 78 dialog-system value "DSC". and there is no need to call Dialog System with 'T' in DS-CONTROL. In other words, the two lines move 'T' to DS-CON

Problem: When calling "DS" to animate a Dialog System screenset, the call fails with the following errors: Exception 34 not trapped by module: dsbmpw32.dll.Description: "Could not load module" Resolution: DSBMPW32.DLL is the Dialog System module handling the bitmaps found in the screenset, and for some reason it was not possible to load it. This problem occurs when the Dialog System runtime files are not found in the PATH. By default, C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\DIALOGSYSTEM\\Bin or C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\DIALOGSYSTEM\\Bin is added automatically in the PATH when starting Net Express, but it is likely a user has overridden the PATH from the IDE or Application environment in the project properties. As much as possible, %PATH% must be part of the value. If for example I need to add X:\\Dir\\SubDir in the PATH (i.e. %PATH%;X:\\Dir\\SubDir), I would define

Problem:  The application makes use of filename_start stored procedures in SQL Server. When setting up the application on SQL Server 2012 there is an error when trying to add the stored procedure.  The SQL Server Management Studio shows an error like this:      Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure filename_start001, Line 20      Incorrect syntax near '523409'. The script to install the stored procedure is using the format seen in the Acu4GL documentation and which has been used successfully in earlier versions of SQL Server:      raiserror 523409 "Record not found"  Resolution:  SQL Server 2008 and prior versions supported the short form of raiserror, such as:      raiserror 523409 "Record not found" However, SQL Server 2012 no longer supports that.  The stored procedure code must be modified to include the complete raiserror format:    &n

I have Micro Focus Visual COBOL 2.2 (Personal Edition) Version 2.2.00151 with Visual Studio 2012 running under Windows 8.1, and all is well I have written a specific backup program in COBOL that copies certain nominated files to a backup holding area on my hard drive, and it works fine and performs date and time stamping along the way I'd like to have an icon i can click that will automatically start Vis Cobol and run the backup program (and then VC shut down?) Somehow, I recall I have seen something along these lines happening while I have been clicking away in the past but I can't find how to get it to happen again i googled for the answer but didn't get anything in the MF doco that I felt was what I wanted Does anyone know how I can set up an icon to click and automation is started? Or, any alternate ideas I could use for specific backups? Thanks in advance Paul

I have a combobox filled with a list of objects itemAttributes that is defined as  01 value-id pic 99999999 value 0 property as "ID". 01 attribute-value pic x(30) value spaces property as "VALUE". im triying to find the index of the object inside the combobox by its ID property but i cant manage to figure it out. something like this set cbAttrib1::SelectedIndex to cbAttrib1::Items::IndexOf(valueID)

Hi, i need help with inheritance in visual cobol. I have a .Net class (cobol) named ClassB which inherits from another .Net ClassA (cobol again). In ClassA i have a public property named VariabA. the problem is that i cant access variabA unless i use the keywords self:: or super::. This is a huge problem since is not a normal behavior for inheritance as a feature and it's a stopper for using VariabA as needed (eg in an Exec Sql statement). The same thing in other .Net language is not an issue.... Can you help me please???

Problem When trying to install Micro Focus Server Express 5.1, the install program shows the following error: Please confirm your understanding of the above reference environmentdetails (y/n): ybin/cobconvstrtest: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64. Resolution Even though the products are supported on 32 bit and 64 bit platforms the installer itself will still need a 32 bit C compiler.  Install the 32 bit C compiler and the installation will then be possible.

Hi aw_muench, On the cell, I hit <enter> to go in edit mode, and input a partial descriptor i.e. "desc", hit <enter>, msg-finish-entry activates and reads file looking for a match for 'desc', if found - populates the grid, if not found it calls a program that lists all  records beginning with "desc" (description, description1, description2, etc).  I choose an item that I want and populate the row of the grid. I use the modify <grid, cell-data = variable passed> command to populate the cells in the grid.  Coming back to the grid, the cursor is gone and if I click on a cell (in that same row) and continue to input a numeric field I cannot input anything in that cell.  As a workaround, I click on an item outside the grid, then click again on the grid.  After this action, the grid behaves normal. If I do not invoke a lookup, the grid functions correctly. aw_muench in Extend and ACUCOBOL How do you c
