Decrypt XML Elements with Asymmetric Keys

I have this code working in VB.NET and I am migrating to VC2010. NET. Unfortunately I'm having trouble with this function. How would this code?     Sub Decrypt(ByVal Doc As XmlDocument, ByVal Alg As RSA, ByVal KeyName As String)        ' Check the arguments.          If KeyName Is Nothing Then            Throw New ArgumentNullException("KeyName")        End If        ' Create a new EncryptedXml object.        Dim exml As New EncryptedXml(Doc)        ' Add a key-name mapping.        ' This method can only decrypt documents        ' that present the specified key name.      &n

Dialog System List Box

After showing the changed contents of a LISTBOX using REFRESH-OBJECT LB-MYLIST  I need to show that a certain row is the default value (selected item) To make this I use             SET-LIST-ITEM-STATE LB-MYLIST 1 1  After executing this statement the row appears in blue. This looks quite good and is what I need. But also the condition    ITEM-SELECTED    associated with the LB is activated. How can I avoid that, because ITEM-SELECTED (and ITEM-ACCEPTED) shall only be executed if the operator really selects an item with the mouse and not by the SET-LIST-ITEM Is using a different value than 1 in     SET-LIST-ITEM-STATE    a solution?  Which value must I use in order to only highligh the row? Thanks for any help.    Rolf#LISTBOXDIALOG-SYSTEM

Font and control resizing in thin client

I seem to be having an issue where controls and windows are not resizing when a user alters either the DPI scaling or the option that allows for making everything larger in Windows.  Is there something that I can do/detect/set ahead of time that allows for windows and controls to adjust properly which are created with the thin client?

Calling JavaScript from COBOL

I'm looking at the "Sample Web Browser Program" from the ACUCOBOL 9.2.2 "Programmer's Guide to the Internet". It compiles and works, but now I'd like to extend it with some event-driven interactions between JavaScript, VBScript, and COBOL. Assume the following HTML5 document:  <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"><title>HTML5 JavaScript VBScript Example</title><script type="text/vbscript"> Function vbFunction() document.write("vbFunction has been called") End Function </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function jsFunction() { document.write("jsFunction has been called") } </script> </head></body> </body></html> After the HTML5 page shown above has been loaded into the WEB-BROWSER control, is it possible for COBOL code to call the VBScript and JavaScript functions (vbFunction and jsFunction)? A C# example that shows how it might be

codepage Unicode (UTF-8) error after saving codebehind page

Another error: An exception of type 'MicroFocus.COBOL.COBOLRuntimeException' occurred in MicroFocus.COBOL.Runtime.dll but was not handled in user codeAdditional information: 198     Load failure [Program has an incompatible codepage dependency "ClassLibrary1.GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE" is using codepage Unicode (UTF-8) but the main program "ASP.logon_aspx" is using Western European (Windows) Please see documentation for more information.] I have opened LOGON.aspx in Visual Studio, selected Advanced Save Options in the File menu, and changed the character set to UTF-8. this was also done to all other cbl files in the solution. I also set the compiler directive SOURCE-ENCODING"UTF8" in the project. I am still getting the error on ASP.LOGON_aspx, which I am assuming is the generated aspx page. I am using the default asp.net server with Visual Studio 2010, if that helps.

Program is unverifiable error in web application

I am creating a web application from files that I successfully created a web site with. I am creating new pages, and copying the bulk of the code to the web application. I am doing this because the pages are not successfully compiled because of the header information being different. I have gotten the code to compile in VS 2010 successfully, along with 3 assemblies. When I try to call one of the programs in the assemblies, I get an error: MicroFocus.COBOL.COBOLRuntimeException was unhandled by user code  HResult=-2146232832  Message=198     Load failure [Program not verifiable][Program "ClassLibrary1.GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE" is not verifiable, Initial Program "logon_aspx" is verifiable]  Source=MicroFocus.COBOL.Runtime  ErrorNumber=198  ErrorString=198     Load failure [Program not verifiable][Program "ClassLibrary1.GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE" is not verifiable, Initial Program "logon_as

abstract method

I have a class that inherits from an abstract class.  Inside of this class is an abstract method.  In the inherited class I want the abstract method to be private.  When I code override I get an error that says "COBCH0965: Overriding method must have visibility Public" and from my understanding of Visual Cobol is legitimate.  The question comes into play when I use the cobol keyword override it seems to build just fine.  Is this the intent?  Below is an example of the redefines code.       class-id Ufg.Life.Policy.PolicyAbstract abstract. method-id GetPlanCode abstract procedure division returning returningPlanCode as String. end method. *************** now for the class that inherits from the above class class-id Ufg.Life.Policy.InforcePolicy inherits type Ufg.Life.Policy.PolicyAbstract. method-id GetPlanCode redefine private procedure division returning returningPlanCode as String. end method.#VisualCOBOL

setting properties

Attached is a simple class and a simple console application.  if you look at the TPMixed property it is a type String and the private variable that it points to is a String (doesnt' have Type in front of it).  What happens is when you try to set the property the value doesn't hold, in this case a null value is stored (default value for a string) instead of the value passed to the property.  If you run the attached console application you should see what I mean.   #VisualCOBOL

AcuXDBC on Linux, "Permission denied"

Problem: Error on Linux when attempting to execute a unixODBC command against the AcuXDBC driver: "xvision.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied" The security for all directories and files involved has been set to 777 but the error persists. Resolution: This is caused by the kernel security extensions from the Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) project, which are enabled by default in some newer Linux distributions. SELinux enables finer-grained control over system security and shared library loading. To resolve the error the xvision.so library must be registered in the security module using the chcon command: chcon -t texrel_shlib_t xvision.so

One possible cause of the 'Runtime has stopped working' message.

This can be caused by an index-out-of-bounds condition.  If you use compiler option -Za and compile in debug mode then the runtime will notify you if this condition occurs. What happens is the procedure division allows you to exceed the table size specified in the working storage.  This overwrites the working storage elements following the definition of the table. This can be tested by NOT using option Za and monitoring variables following your table as you initialize the last element 1.  The monitor will detect the change.  #acubench#runtimeerror#extend32-bitRuntimehasstoppedworking#AcuCobol#extend32-bitRuntime#extend#COBOL

Doubts about Acuserver and mapped drives

Hello, I've installed Acuserver for the first time, and I've a question: Currently my application is using mapped drives. All the client computers are executing wrun32.exe, which is located in the shared folder, such as objects, vision files and configuration file. What I've tested with acuserver is: - To install runtime in every local computer.  - To create a path to that folder, so I can run wrun32 everywhere. - The client configuration file is still located in shared folder. - To Launch the application with the active folder located in the shared folder, but running the wrun32.exe local instance By this way, what I've tested seems that is working properly. But I'd like to know, if that's the best way to set up acuserver or if there are another properly method. Thanks and kind regards. #AcuServer#extend32-bitRuntime

Working storage variables persisting after class finalized in native code

A class had a method that used WORKING-STORAGE instead of LOCAL-STORAGE.  I created in instance of the class and set a variable in WORKING-STORAGE to a value, then finalized the instance.  I then created a new instance of the class and called the method.  The value from the last instance carried over into the new instance.  Is this expected behavior ?  It behaves the same way in Visual COBOL and Net Express 5.1. I fixed this by using LOCAL-STORAGE instead of WORKING-STORAGE.
