Problem: When you execute either the slicexsy utility, or, a COBOL program that implements XML Extensions, you receive an XML error: 12 - data item - not found. Resolution: The XML Extensions error 12 indicates that the COBOL program was compiled by an RM/COBOL Development System that did not have an XML Extensions Developer's license installed. In order to compile programs that employ XML Extensions, you have to install an XML Extensions Development license into your RM/COBOL Development System license vault. You can check the installed licenses for your RM/COBOL Development System by using the following command, executed from the "SupportTools" subdirectory of your RM/COBOL Development System installation: suptool1 productview If you do not see your XML Extensions license in the list generated by the "suptool1 productview" command, then, you can install your XML Extensions Developer license using the Liant License Utility(licverifyall).  Below is a link

Processing query parameters with an Xcentrisity BIS web service In order to view query parameters passed to your XBIS web service, you will need to add the following structure to your SOAP Request area of WORKING-STORAGE: 10 S--QUERY-PARAMETERS.   20 S--QUERY-PARAMETER OCCURS 100 TIMES.     30 S--NAME PIC X(50) VALUE SPACES.     30 S--VALUE PIC X(100) VALUE SPACES. For an example of how to do this, see the attached XBIS sample web service, queryparams.zip. To deploy the sample, extract the zip archive to the BIS "samples" directory. The one callable method, "getqueryparms", will return any query parameters that it receives in the URI. If you wish to test handling query parameters when generating a WSDL, then, you can turn on tracing in the SRF file. The BIS trace will contain display statements that print the received query parameters' names and values.

players.brightcove.net/.../index.html Revoking a license on UNIX With Internet access In order to revoke a license on your current or old UNIX machine you will first need to open the license manager by navigating to the following directory: /var/microfocuslicensing/bin/ Then you will run: cesadmintool.sh When opened, it will look like this:                         After ‘Enter Option’, enter ‘5’ for ‘Revoke Licenses’ then select the product you want to revoke from the list.       You will then be presented with a new authorisation code which you will use on your new machine. Without Internet access To revoke a license from your current or old machine without Internet access, the same process as detailed above should be followed. However, at the point of revoking the license, instead of receiving a new authorisation code automatically, you will need to send the file generated during revoke to Support in order f

Problem: The AcuBench menu bar has disappeared.  How did that happen and how can it be restored? Resolution: It is not know how the menu bar disappears.  We've never been able to reproduce that behavior. If the meu bar is missing here's how to restore it: First exit AcuBench, then start the Registry Editor and go to this key: Computer\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\CASEMaker\\AcuBench\\AcuBench-Bar19 (That is for AcuBench version 9.2.  Earlier versions include the version number, eg AcuBench91\\AcuBench91-Bar19) You will see a DWORD item named "Visible" and it will be set to zero.  Delete it or modify the value to 1, then exit the registry editor.  Start AcuBench and the menu bar will be back.

Problem: The application receives error 9D,17 when using a SQL Server named instance In a file alias.  The alias has this form:   mytable sqlserver\\instancename.database.dbo.mytable The open of that file/table fails with error 9D,17, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.  If the alias is not used and A_MSSQL_DEFAULT_CONNECTION specifies that same named instance there is no error and mytable can be accessed successfully. Resolution: As of version 9.2.3 there is an issue with the parser that strips off the backslash "\\" and the portion of the alias in front of that.  This renders an invalid servername and the connection fails with error 9D,17, SQL Server does not exist or access denied. There is a workaround, which is to use the port number for the named instance, rather than the name itself.  Assuming the instance is running on port 9999 the above example would look like this:   mytable sqlserver,9999.database.dbo.mytable Note that when sp

I am creating a cursor using dynamic SQL. I can fetch the data with no problem, but whenever I tried to execute another SQL Statement (Dynamic Cursor still open) I get an error message stating "Connection is busy with the results for another hstmt". Any ideas on what may be causing this error? We have other programs where we have open cursors (static SQL) and have no problem performing other SQL statements.

Hi, I have been using Microfocus NetExpress v3.10 for some time, and did some code in GUI-based (using GS) application with winAPI codes as follows; environment division.special-names.  call-convention 74 is winAPI.

Problem: How do I install the  Security AddPack for Server Express and Server for COBOL on Unix/Linux Resolution: Unlike Wrap Packs for Server Express or Server for COBOL, the Security AddPack is not a full version of the product. The Security AddPack has as a prerequisite, the matching version of Server Express or Server for COBOL. For Server Express/Server for COBOL Wrap Pack 10, the matching Security Add Pack version is sxsecuritypack51.11_00_dev.tar.encr. 1. Ensure that Server Express/Server for COBOL is installed on the machine where you are installing this AddPack. 2. As root, with COBDIR set to the installation location of the Server Express/Server for COBOL, execute the file. You will now have a tar file containing the AddPack. 3. Extract the AddPack, using the command: tar xvf <filename>. A directory such as Securitypack51.11_00_dev will be created. 4. Make the install file executable. 5. Install the AddPack, by executing the installation script, using t

Problem: When ACUCOBOL-GT runtime finishes its job on a Linux/UNIX box, the displayed area is cleaned and the latest input-output data are removed from the monitor. Old runtimes used to keep these data in sight, even after the STOP RUN was executed. Resolution: This behavior changed in release 7.0.0 to fix a leak in earlier runtimes. After this fix was introduced, when runcbl shuts down it destroys all the canvases associated with the COBOL program. It does this in order to correctly manage the related memory. When a canvas is destroyed, that canvas is erased. If the COBOL program just uses ANSI style ACCEPT and DISPLAY (and treating the terminal like a teletypewriter), then doing the work to not initialize the terminal manager will solve the problem. That means compiling with -Ca, running with -b and not using ACUCOBOL-GT extensions to the DISPLAY verb. Note that positioning information is considered an ACU extension, so the previous workaround will not work. i.e.: this line is ANSI s

Problem Trying to compile a COBOL program using OpenESQL on AIX 6.1 gives an error: <<OpenESQL Error: Unable to load ODBC Driver/Driver Manager. Ensure that your database environment is set correctly>> The ODBC driver manager is unixODBC Resolution Current versions of the products, Server Express/Net Express 5.1 WrapPack 8, Studio Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2 WS2, Visual COBOL 2.1 Update 1 and Enterprise Developer 2.1 Update 1 are all tested using unixODBC 2.3.0.  For unixODBC on AIX all of the products will search for  libodbcinst.a(libodbcinst.so.1) and libodbc.a(libodbc.so.1).  If these shared objects cannot be found in unixODBC archive files then you will get the error described above. First thing to check is that the unixODBC lib directory is included in the LIBPATH.  If this is okay then check the members of the archive files. If this shows anything other than libodbc.so.1 you will need to extract the file, rename it and put the new file into the arc
