Rocket® COBOL

Good evening together (in Germany its 7 pm) I'm new here and have (at the moment) just one question: Is it possible to get a Trial-Version of Net Express? Thanks a lot and best regards...

  Visrel is the best, I know, to generate report accessing native database. There is a Lite option that has almost all features of the paid version. Configurar / Utilizar a versão LITE.The Form Designer generates COBOL source to several compilers and other languages as VB and so on. Works in character and graphic mode. Has an example on You Tube with a little demonstration.  

Hi guys How to lock a cell of datagridview to accept only numbers. Otherwise, to ignore the change.

Problem: In Visual Studio 2012, when installing Enterprise Developer or Visual COBOL, Windows versions greater than and including Windows 7 reports an issue (pictured below) which requires a Visual Studio 2012 update to be downloaded from Microsoft to resolve. Resolution: This is a Microsoft known problem. To resolve it, follow the instructions in the notification for obtaining help online, or download the KB2781514 update for Visual Studio 2012 from the Microsoft Download Center.  

Problem: Visual COBOL 2.2 for Visual Studio 2010 Hotfix 5 cannot coexist on the same machine with Visual COBOL 2.2 for Visual Studio 2012 Hotfix 5. Resolution: Both versions cannot be installed at the same time. Either Visual COBOL 2.2 for Visual Studio 2010 Hotfix 5 or            Visual COBOL 2.2 for Visual Studio 2012 Hotfix 5 will need to be installed alone. The end user will need to be determined which they require.

I am getting a warning message when compiling a program.  It does not seem to affect the execution of my program, but I would like to get clean compile if possible.  The section of working storage that is tripping up is here:               05 OUTPUT-PARAMETERS.                  07 RESULT                 PIC X(80).                  07 DYELOT-COUNT           PIC 9(03).                  07 EA-FT-UOM              PIC X(03).

Does the ACUCOBOL runtime for Windows (wrun32.exe) provide any support for gracefully exiting a COBOL program when the user closes the console window? The two ways that they might do this are by pressing Alt F4 or clicking the red X in the title bar. For example, in a particular program we would like to be able to save changes before exiting when the user kills the window. We've trained the users to never do this, but old habits die hard. Similar problems can also occur in Linux if the user closes the terminal window before exiting their COBOL program. We'd be interested in a solution for Linux as well, but the immediate need is on the Windows side. We're currently using ACU 9.2.1 in this office. Some facilities are running ACU 8 and possibly 7. Thank you!#wrun32.exe#ACUCOBOL9.2.1

Just installed Visual Cobol and was working through the course to learn to use it.  When I got to the WebDemo program I get the error Message that says "Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the "inherits" attribute, and that Default.aspx.cbl it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl)."  So to see what the issue was I created a blank one, much to my surprise I received the same results.  I am using Visual Studio 2012 and the latest Visual Cobol Personal Edition.  Any help would be appreciated.  Below is the code class-id _Default is partial                 inherits type System.Web.UI.Page.        working-storage section.        method-id Page_Load protected.       local-storage section.       procedure divi

I am having an issue with a web application. We are migrating from a mainframe environment to a Microfocus web application. We have web applications for different transactions. There are several web applications in TFS, linked together with a Start_up menu type application. I have one application on my local computer, working fine, local IIS set up, builds correctly. One of the other developers has another application on their computer, working. But getting the source code from TFS to build hers on mine fails. There are no errors in the build, but it fails. I'm wondering what steps I need to go through to determine where the error is occuring that is causing the build to fail, even though there is no errors in it. There are warnings, but of the not enough parameters in a call variety, which work ok on other applications. Again, the Start_up web application works for me on my local machine with another web app, but not the one downloaded from another developer.

Is there a way to turn off the selection of the value in a textbox field when you tab to the field?

I have a naïve code program that I put as a single project in a solution that is a single executable.  On the cobol link tab I have checked the add system files.  When the client runs the .exe from the server he gets an error ''cblrtsm.dll is missing'.  Should that not be included in the .exe at compile? Thanks

Problem: When ACUCOBOL-GT runtime tries to call a .Net assembly for the first time, the following error may occur: Invalid class string (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401F3 (CO_E_CLASSSTRING)) Resolution: Run the following command from a DOS prompt: marshal.exe /RegServer You need to have machine-administrator privileges to run this command-line.#.net

This is from your tutorial on calling a managed class from native code: If is use COM onterop to call a managed class, I get error  "(80070057): The parameter is incorrect" if the managed class does not define the passed parameters as type string; for example, if a PIC X(1) parameter is passed from native code and the managed class parameter is PIC X(1).Sometimes I need to pass a number of parameters.  Where can I find the rules for how to pass parameters from native to managed using COM interop?#VisualCOBOL

We have a program that reads a text file and uses AcuSQL to insert the data into an MS-SQL table. The program has been working for years. i runs on a seperate computer from where the SQL table resides. The PC on which the program runs died yesterday and a new PC was installed. Since the program has been running on the new PC we get the following error on each insert: SQLCODE: 000000001   SQLSTATE: 22018   Invalid character value for cast specification Most fields in the insert are Char or varchar and are fed a pic x. But I also have the following:a smallint that is fed a s9(9) comp-5a smalldate that is fed a pic x(10)   (Filled with a date formatted mm/dd/yyyy)a smallmoney that is fed a pic 9(4)v99. As I said this was working fine on the old PC. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi: We are running Server Express 5.0 WrapPack 3 on HP-UX. Does anyone no if Server Express is capable of connecting to an IBM MQ Message Queue? I've seen in the $COBDIR/lib shared libraries for MQCONN.so and MQCONNX.so so I'm thinking it might be possible. Any advice would be helpful.#MQServerExpress

Hello, I want to show the contents of different kind of files on my application window. To accomplish that I am using the web-browser control. Opening a web page or a jpg file works fine. When opening a tif file however Windows photo viewer opens in a new window. The same thing occurs when opening a pdf file using the pdf viewer which comes with Windows 8. After installing Acrobat Reader that problem is solved. Acrobat reader opens within my web-browser control. Does anyone recognize this problem?

Using the different PC_PRINTER options  if you want to print several copies you must always first select the copies, CALL PC_PRINTER_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES  and afterwards  PC_PRINTER_OPEN. is there a way first open the printer, and afterwards, depending on the selected printer ask the user if he wants several copies? Or even better, can I set a flag, so that the PC_PRINTER_OPEN asks how many copies I want? Thanks Rolf

Problem: After upgrading to ACUCOBOL-GT 9.2.3, graphical controls that have a DROP-LIST style do not work as expected. MODIFY VALUE does not show the correct item and the current value is left blank. Resolution: This is a memory issue fixed in release 9.2.4 with ECN-4307. The new release of extend suite is available for download in the Product Updates section of the SupportLine web site.#9.2.4#9.2.3

On my Windows 8.1 Pro System (German Version) I am using Visual Studio 2013 with Visual Cobol 2013. I have a solution with a Webservice project and a 2nd project with the processing classes. After installing Update 2.2.2 of Visual Cobol there are some curious effects: On opening the Cobol source of the Webservice project Visual Studio starts updating IntelliSense but just waits for something for many seconds or even minutes. Finally I get error COBCH0942: Could not load assembly ‘…\\processingassembly.dll’ followed by several COBCH0845 messages not finding the classes of the processingassembly. Rebuild the Solution ends without error and the Webservice works as expected. Has anybody made similar experiences or a work around? If a go back to Visual Cobol Update 2.2.1 the curious effects disappear. Werner Lanter PS: I opened a support incident (2804043) for this case.

Dear Chris, Could you please say to me how I can put a PL-SQL TYPE HEADER into a Visual Cobol Program ??? Many Thanks, PJM

I've got a year Net Express  license and the  license screen still pops up and makes me click ok. Is there a way to keep this from popping up every time?

Does somebody know how I can insert special  characters in the sourcefile?  With NOTEPAD or WORD I have the possibility to press <Alt> and a numeric value  (Example  <Alt>225 )  for any ascii value.  But the IDE does not accept these values. Holding down <alt> Instead of inserting the value, the cursor just jumps down several lines or inserts something that does not conform with the Windows Character Set nor to the Ascii Table. Is there a function like "insert HEX value" thanks Rolf

My program aborted with the following message: I/O error: file MY-FILE error code: 9/006 (ANSI74), PC=0, CALL=1, SEG=0 6 ERROR MESSAGE TEXT NOT FOUND. Looking in the Help I found errors 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10 and more, but # 6 is not described.  Does somebody know what 6 means? When I run the program again, mostly no error is found, but suddenly it comes again.  Is the error due to the network? Thanks for any help Rolf
