I upgraded to the latest version of Visual Cobol and my data connection no longer works. Has something changed with how I connect? I tried removing and then adding back the catalog using the ADO.Net connection editor and it still does not work. I test the connection from the connection editor and it connects successfully.  Iget the following error in the program "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishi". Any ideas on what may be wrong?  

I had Visual Studio 2010PE installed on my system, I uninstalled it. I now installed Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2012 PE , 1 year subscription.

Error details: Unable to obtain the requested license: Error[37]: Duration of Trail License of SolarVisualStudio2010PE is exhausted. How can I get Visual COBOL 2.2 PE trail version working on my computer? Thanks

Hi Everyone, Were having a major issue with AcuThinclient where we are getting a number of communication Socket error. We have setup a remote datacentre to host all our applications in the cloud and when we tried to use this product, we are getting this error and then the product completely shuts off. We do not have a very stable internet connection and this is the only ISP around our current location so were stuck with them. We need to have some way to have some kind of keep alive session with the AcuThin-Client so if there is a slight disconnect, it doesn't drop the whole connection. A good example of this of course is Remote Desktop. Somone had noted that we could use RDP locally to the Datacentre and access thinclient that way however having a machine just for this purpose isn't practical and a waste of system resources. Does anyone know any alternate solutions or suggestions that can help us avoid this error? Thanks, jjjj12212#communicationsocketerrorThinClientAcuConnect

Problem Who provides support for COBOL-CGXI when used within RM/COBOL programs? Resolution The COBOL-CGIX for RM/COBOL product was the forerunner to the Xcentrisity™ Business Information Server (BIS) product range and provided a way to quickly move a RM Cobol application from a character based application to a Web Server based application without having to rewrite all the COBOL business logic. This meant that RM COBOL handled the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) calls from the Web page. The documentation for the last supported version of COBOL-CGIX which is a Windows help file stored inside the attached zip file, provided with RM/Cobol can be downloaded from this location: RMCGIX.zip The COBOL-CGIX product is supported by the company England Technical Services (ETS). Below is a link to their home page:             http://showcase.netins.net/web/etsinc/index.html Note: The standard COBOL syntax is supported by Micro Focus; howev

I have a file witch is greater than 1 GB.

I currently have Visual Cobol Personal Edition 2.1 hosted in Visual Studio 2010. I would like to upgrade to VCPE 2.2 but hosted in VS 2012, which I also have. Do I need to uninstall VCPE 2.1 and Licence Manager before upgrading to VCPE 2.2? Any gotchas? Thanks Paul

The scenario is as follows: Within a run-unit, we run a program that calls others (many others).We would need to have a data area visible by all programs running within that run unit.Eventually, some program also would update the data in this area, as if it were the "session data".Any idea how we could implement this requirement? We are using Visual Cobol 2.2 under Unix. Any collaboration will be appreciated.

I am looking for a good SIMPLE example of using a Microsoft List Box (ActiveX) in a Bench project.  Does anyone have a sample bench project that I could download to see how to set up the variables and load data into the list box? Thanks for any help.

My list view is populated initially thanks to the forum.  I need to be able to select the the first line in the list view now and return the data so I know the SiteListNum.  The examples for the listbox on the forum don't seem to work correctly for me with list view.  Can anyone provide an example?  My code is below: *>PopulateListbox method       method-id PopulateListbox final private. local-storage section. 01 SiteList.    05 SiteListDesc  pic x(40)   value spaces.    05 SiteListNum   pic x(4)    value spaces. 01 indexOfSelection binary-long value 0. 01 row type ListViewItem. procedure division.     if ds-return = spaces        invoke listView1::BeginUpdate        perform varying idx from 1 by 1 until idx > 99            if lb-siteentry(idx) >

Problem: When connecting to a remote machine using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and launching a Windows Service which contains a CBL_DEBUGBREAK, Visual Cobol for Visual Studio or Visual Cobol for Eclipse does not detect the CBL_DEBUGBREAK. Resolution: When the service encounters the CBL_DEBUGBREAK, it has to interact with the desktop to display the 'Do you want to debug' prompt. It does this by getting the user currently logged into the computers console, and interacting with that console. The remote desktop uses a separate session which is not the console window so the prompt is not visible. This is a limitation of using RDP to access the remote machine and there are 2 alternatives to get the CBL_DEBUGBREAK to work: For Visual Studio: In the Visual Studio menu, go to Debug > Start Debugging. This will then wait for you to run the Service and the application will attach as soon as it encounters the CBL_ DEBUGBREAK. For Eclipse: Start Eclipse as administrator and

We are using a SQL Server Linked Server to access data in cobol files. It worked ok, until we decided to restart it using the following commands: del C:\\DATABASE\\CRPO\\XDBC_CRPO\\xdbc\\*.* /q call ainit -d C:\\DATABASE\\CRPO\\XDBC_CRPO\\xdbc call xdbcutil -c -d C:\\DATABASE\\CRPO\\XDBC_CRPO\\xdbc call xdbcutil -d C:\\DATABASE\\CRPO\\XDBC_CRPO\\xdbc -f C:\\DATABASE\\CRPO\\XDBC_CRPO\\xfd I did not get any errors when running the commands, but after this I was not able to get the data through the linked server anymore. I get the error saying:  OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MyServer" returned message "[TOD][ODBC Driver]Invalid USERID and/or PASSWORD". As you can see below, there is no password set for this ODBC connection. The driver we are using is version 8.01.

We receive a lot of invoices in XML format from our suppliers. All have the header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  and should be in that format.  Unfortunately some do not fulfill this format and have some fields filled with ASCII characters (not UTF-8 as it should be), including accented vowels á é í ó ú.   X”F3”  X”E9”  X”E1”  X”FA” etc. The Internet Explorer does not open/show the file due to this wrong codification.   My program has the ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. FILE-CONTROL. select factura-XML assign to ID-ARCHIVO-FAC                      file status is file-status-spec.   The program generally works very fine if the XML is encoded right and reads all fields.
