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.

For some reason my computer calender was off so I changed it to the correct date and now I get error 26. What do I do?

Is there any examples on how to use Icons bold or colored text  on individual treeitems in dialog manager (net express 3.1)#treeviewdialognetexpressiconbold

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

I have recently been getting this message when I try to run Visual Cobol PE. "Unable to obtain the requested License: Error [26]: Request denied due to clock tamper detection." I had changed my clock settings on my computer to fix my calendar,  and now this pops up when I try to run a new Cobol program. I've tried so many things to attempt to fix it. Is there any solution?

I am not using HOT-KEY to call a program within the cell of the grid.  I am just using a regular 'call prog-name' followed by a 'cancel prog-name'. I have also tried: move 4 to accept-control, move <grid-id> to control-id.  It only works when I am in debug mode. but without debug, it does not do anything. Thanks for the help.#GRIDlosingfocusinAcuCobolver8.1.3

I have to insert data into a microsoft sql table, but i dont know how to define following datatypes in my cobol Programm: uniqueidentifier datetime nvarchar varbinary bigint int

Using Net Express 5.1, is there a way to copy the text of the COBOL code into Microsoft Office Word while maintaining the colors of the text from the program?

I am using Acu 8.1.3 (Linux OS) on bo thweb-thin client and local thin-client.   - cell in grid is defined numeric; data-type is numeric When invoking the cobol program, I  encounter this problem when I enter the grid, This occurs only when I use a lookup program within a cell, i.e. customer master lookup (calling a different program). The cursor does not go back to the grid, I have to click on a cell in the grid.  Then this behavior happens: I cannot enter numbers in the cells that are defined numeric; As a workaround I exit the grid, then go back to the cell. Only thru this am I allowed to enter number. I am able to continue with the rest of the cells without any problem. Can anyone help me pls?

I am using MF Visual Cobol v 2.2. ( Personal Edition) When my progam tries to open an input file, I get  "Error Msg   -----13     File not found" This input sequential file (.dat extension)  is created in Net Express 5.1.  Is this because of compatibility issue between Net Express and Visual Cobol v 2.2 ? OR is there anywhere I have missed to create path for input file? Thanks Kumar#Assign#error13filenotfoundvisualcobol#COBOLVISUALCOBOLMIGRATION

Problem: The user can launch a normal remote application session using the remote run configuration but not launch a remote debugging session under the debug configuration pointing the same Xserver.   This problem has been manifested when the use launches Devhub's startrdodaemon after first logging onto the Unix/Linux machine from the console as root, then launching a terminal session from the console, then launching the startrdodaemon from the terminal session. Resolution:   Logon onto the Unix/Linux machine via remote ssh or from the console with a non-user id, then su to root in the terminal session, before launching the startrdodaemon.    

Problem: When attempting to install a Visual COBOL product on a Unix/Linux machine the following error is encountered.PRN of product at /...does not match PRN of update product.PRN of install product :- .....PRN of update product :-... Solution: Some users have COBDIR set in either /etc/profile or .profile, or a similar login profile. Fix packs and hot fixes require that COBDIR set to the directory COBOL is installed. A check in the install is then performed to validate version of COBOL installed there matches the version contained in the hot fix or fix pack. In this situation ensure COBDIR is set to the COBOL installation directory that is the update target. Complete product installs, such as updates, should be performed in an empty or newly created directory. In these situations, COBDIR should not be defined. If COBDIR is set, then the solution is to unset COBDIR. This will enable the installation of the complete product.      

Problem:  JAVA_HOME is set in .profile on a Unix/Linux but the user encounters an error when attempting to launch Visual COBOL for Eclipse on Unix/Linux from the console  Solution: The terminal  started from the console does not start bash as a logon shell and therefore does not invoke .profile when the terminal is launched. You could put JAVA_HOME in your /etc/profile, or profile.d. You can also set JAVA_HOME in script that also launches Eclipse.

Hello, lately I have been triying to create a code to upload an image into my sql database from visual cobol 2012. I have done this in C# with  byte[] image object o = Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData("Bitmap"); if (o != null) { pictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage; pictureBox.Image = (Image)o; } using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) { pictureBox.Image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); image = ms.ToArray(); } Im not sure how I can do " pictureBox.Image = (Image)o;"  in visual cobol, since im stuck there I haven't tried to code the rest but I don't think that would be any problem. How can I manage to do this task in visual cobol? #SQL#OnemoreCWPFtoCobol#databases#StreamReader

I was wondering if there is a mechanism to determine if the message queue used for sending and receiving thread messages is full, or how much space is remaining in the queue? We've been adjusting the MESSAGE_QUEUE_SIZE, but would like a way to know if we're getting close to full, and handle it in the application.
