Problem Some applications require a 64-bit Windows ODBC driver; is there a 64-bit Relativity driver and if so, how can it be installed and used?   Resolution Obtaining the Relativity Data Client for 64-bit Windows The Relativity Data Client for Windows installation media(rmrelativity1214_dclient_win.exe) can be obtained in three ways: 1. From the SupportLine Product Updates Page 2. From the link provided in an Electronic Product Delivery email 3. From the Relativity CD media, in the the "DClient\\046" directory   Installing the Relativity Data Client for 64-bit Windows 1. Execute the Relativity Data Client for Windows installation package, "rmrelativity1214_dclient_win.exe" 2. Click the "Browse CD" button on the RM-Install dialog 3. Browse to "DClient\\046" 4. Execute the Relativity Data Client for 64-bit Windows installer, "DClient64.msi"   Using the Relativity Data Client for 64-bit Windows Once the driver has been installed, you will need to use the 64-bit ODBC C

Problem Using RM/COBOL, is it possible to create, or read, sequential and relative files that are greater than 1 Gb? Resolution The default file size limit for sequential and relative files is 1Gb. By using runtime configuration options this limit can increased to a maximum of 128Gb. By setting the runtime configuration option LARGE-FILE-LOCK-LIMIT=x the index file limit can be increased. Where x = the size in Gb of the new file size limit, e.g. 128 for 128Gb. To make use of the new limit, the USE-LARGE-FILE-LOCK-LIMIT=YES, for the relevant file type must also be set. Runtime configuration options can either be placed in the default configuration file, runcobol.cfg (this is located in the RM/COBOL installation directory) or a configuration file that is passed to the runtime system as an application starts. Below are examples of values that the configuration options can be set to for the different file types. Examples: To increase the file limit for sequential files to 128Gb add th

Hello, Is there any compatible ActiveX to use with AcuBench for sending SMS?#ActiveXSMS

Has anyone had their MF Cobol code just stop working properly?  I have a series of programs, calling Oracle 8i stored procedures and they do not return data, when I am in the NE 5 IDE.  I am also getting a file error status =107 if I run the EXE outside of the IDE.  It dosn't seem to be just stored procedures, I have some in-line SQL that doesn't seem to want to return values, even though I can run the  SQL in SQLPlus and get values. Thank you !#storedprocedure#EXECSQLEXECUTE#COBOLORACLEEXECSQLCOMPILE#Oracle#Oracle8i#COBOLnetexpressCOBCONFIG

Hello, I'm looking for a good data modeling software that can either connect to an ODBC source and read in the DB or will look directly at vision files to allow for creation of a data diagram. Anyone have any experience with these types of products, or recommendations?

Problem AcuXDBC ignores the CR LF with line sequential files.  Regardless of how the sequential file is defined in the SELECT and FD, it seems that AcuXDBC is ignoring the CR LF line terminator and is returning the maximum record size number of bytes.  Solution AcuXDBC supports sequential files that have a fixed record length; variable record length sequential files may not be used with AcuXDBC.    Such files must be converted to fixed length binary sequential to be able to use them with AcuXDBC.

Dear Sirs, We are installing Visual Cobol Server in Windows 7 and we get the  error enclosed. Many Thanks, PJM

Someone who can know why when creating an XML file with AcuXML based on a FD, the output XML file comes always malformed, basically does not closed some tags at the end of the file. The file structure consists of 6 normal fields and one last field with 50 occurs.

Hi All, I was trying to display the '€' symbol through Micro focus Cobol program that run's in Unix environment, But for some reason the output is coming out as a blank space, could any one help me on how to handle the '€' symbol display in microfocus cobol program.

I've set up a very simple Console Application project in Visual Studio running Visual COBOL 2.2. Program1 initializes a group level redefine and then passes it to Program2. In Program2, it appears that the field within the group that was not used in Program1 was not actually initialized. Why would this be? I expect the second display in Program2 to show PROGRAM2, FIELD-2B is empty. However, it shows the field has the value "ST" unless the second display in Program1 is uncommented. PROGRAM-ID. PROGRAM1. DATA DIVISION. WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. 01 GROUP-1. 02 FIELD-1 PIC X(4). 01 GROUP-2 REDEFINES GROUP-1. 02 FIELD-2A PIC X(2). 02 FIELD-2B PIC X(2). PROCEDURE DIVISION. MOVE "TEST" TO GROUP-1.

I have Visual Cobol Personal Edition I had an Internet outage on my Win/8 laptop and could not open Project1 (I am trying to 'get started' with this product) Once the connection was made true again, I could open Project1 Why is that?  

Problem: All Windows services are normally started before the non-Windows ones. In one reported case, one or some Windows services were not started for an unknown reason before other non-Windows services, such as the Micro Focus License Manager service. Having the MF License Manager service started before the Windows ones causes an unexpected result. For instance, a COBOL application may fail to run and report the following error:"No license is installed for Micro Focus Server. Either install a license key using AppTrack or contact your system administrator or your application supplier." You may find the licenses with the correct information in AppTrack under the License List menu as shown below:License units: 01000Duration: UnlimitedSerial no: 600000******License no: 01280 **** ***** ****. .... However, the "Current usage" menu may list nothing as if there was no license installed. Resolution: You need to contact Microsoft to get all the Windows services to start in timely manner. In

Is there a way to tell Eclipse that Echo is a reserved word for Accept Statements, which it is for RM Cobol (Until I remove them all). Either Eclipse tells me that every ECHO is an error, or I add Echo to the Working Storage, which makes Eclipse happy, but then the Program won't build because I have a Reserved Word in Working Storage ... I can ignore the Error messages for ECHO, but we have a prompt heavy system, and I won't be able to use Eclipses find error features. I just need to tell Eclipse that ECHO is ok, for now. #SyntaxErrors#rm#VisualCOBOL#Eclipse

I am running windows 8.1 with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. When I try to install Visual Cobol I am getting the following errors 0x80048bc7. Am I correct in assuming that VS2013 is the cause of my issue?

Hello, I was looking on product documentation for different platforms accepted to install the runtime, and i barely see windows and unix. Anyone knows if is there a runtime for iOS, Android or any other OS? Thanks afterwards#runtime#supported#install#OS

Getting this error on installation after I have switch development laptops.  Current VC version is 2.2.01220. Is there an update to the COBOL server that I need for the client or another issue. Thanks Kevin Peters

We need to communicate with a large group of devices via TCP/IP (around 100 card swipe units on various gaming units).  These will be randomly used throughout the day based on customer activity, so we need to listen to all of them simultaneously.  Most of our application is written in AcuCOBOL compiled with and running on "extend 9.2.2 ECN-4266".  We tried setting up threads within the runtime to listen for this input, but the CPU usage shot up to 100% after just trying to listen to 2 or 3 units. I'm writing a desktop app using "Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop" with BackgroundWorker threads for each TCP/IP communication connection to keep the user I/O responsive.  I have a COBOL program (CardNet) that will take input from the VS program and handle the file I/O and business logic and send a response back to the unit (pass/fail, remaining balance, trigger tokens, etc.). I compiled the COBOL program using the following:  D:\\ACU922\\ccbl32 -Ds -Za

Greetings, I had recently requested a download of Visual Cobol. However when I clicked on the link I was taken to a 404-error page. When I reported this back to the origination email an automated response directed me here for assistance....

You should have received the license files as part of your order. These files have the format xxxxxxx.mflic. Save this file to the machine where they must be installed.                         Open the License Administrator, go to the “Install” tab, browse the mflic file, click on Open and then Install Licenses. Alternatively, you can drag/drop the mflic file onto the license file box or copy/paste the licenses into the box below: If the license is successfully imported, you should get the following message: You should now be able to see the license installed in the Summary tab: If in the future you need to move the license to another station, just click on Remove and the license will be uninstalled.   If you have concurrent licenses installed in a server and you need to point the clients to the server, please follow these steps from the client machine: 1. Open the License Administrator> go to Options> Advanced C

in Visual Basic to improve readability of code you can define regions like #Region "Tab1_Instructions" method-id read... method-id write... etc. #End Region which are collapsible. Is there an equivalent in Visual Cobol? Just collapsing methods is no real alternative.#region

A few of our customers have reported an "index out of bounds" error that occurs randomly. If they get the error, they can recreate the steps and the program will work properly. We added what should be unnecessary logic, but these few customers are still getting the error. When they report the error, it is happening in different parts of the code (based on the address). We are using 9.2.2 ECN-4266 32-bit runtime and compiler.We compile with the following options:D:\\ACU922\\ccbl32 -o D:\\CBL800\\@ -Cr -Ds -Za -lfo ShaneLFO.txt %1 The reports are coming in from customers running Windows XP 32-bit with SP3 as well as customers running Windows 7 with SP1.

Hi, I'm an SW architect and we are moving our legacy cobol to Visual Cobol under Jboss. This legacy application has a custom persistence layer which is generated using a custom tool. Which are my options if I want to remove this custom persistence layer? Hibernate? OpenESQL? Isn't there something like hibernate for Cobol? Thank you, Mats
