Everytime I try to install the Visual COBOL, I encounter the following error 0x80070643 (This application requires 32-bit Oracle Java 1.6 or later. Plase install Oracle Java and then run this installer again.). I have the following installed versions (1.7 and 1.8) and working properly, still the error persists at the time of installation.

The PadRight() method for strings only seems to work with hard coded numbers. 01 str1 as string value "hello". 01 str2 as string. set str2 to str1::PadRight(10)   *> this works fine declare pad as string = 10 set str2 to str1::PadRight(pad)   *> this doesn't work - no trailing spaces in returned string Am I doing this wrong or is this a bug?#stringspacespadding#VisualCobolManaged

Dears, I have a COBOL program which would perform threads and call C function defined in direct.c  and the C function would call usleep() internally. As my understanding, C usleep() would suspend current thread only. But I found the C function would block other thread in COBOL, ie 'perform thread' So, I write a simple C function just call usleep() and relink runtime. The behavior is the same as I expect. COBOL call C usleep() would block other COBOL thread. If I replace the C fuction to C$SLEEP, the COBOL threads would run normally. My environment is AcuGT v9, AIX 7 64 bit Thanks & Regards, ARIEN

Dears, I am trying to integrate message-driven API into COBOL. Could I define a  event which would be triggered by C? Then accept it like keyboard/mouse events. I have tried COBOL call C , then C callback COBOL. But it does not work, because AcuGT does not support PROCEDURE POINTER  which I could pass to C from COBOL. The environment is GT v9, AIX/Linux 64 Thanks & Regards, ARIEN

How can i connect to a database and update its tables from my AcuCobol Program?

Hello, when using embedded SQL in JVM-Cobol I do have the problem that most of the existing Cobolsources (> 8000) do not have the "FullQualified"  Tablename in the FROM Clause of their SQL-Statements. With "native" Cobol it takes the username as the default Schema Qualifier. And if this is not sufficent it is possible to set QUALIFIER (as an SQL-Compiler Option). This is not working with managed Cobol anymore.  I do want to avoid the need to change all SQL-Statements to fully qualify the tablename.  Does anybody have the same problem and if yes .... maybe a solution ? Kind regards Michael#SQL#VisualCOBOL

We want to show the possible printer tray names and try to use DeviceCapabilities from winspool.drv.If I enter the  debugger and step over the DeviceCapabilities-call it works perfectly - again and again as long as I stay in the program.If the call is executed without entering the debugger I get a "memory access violation".Here is the code:       01            WK-WINSPOOLDRVJN  PIC X(01).       01            WK-TRAYTABELLE.           02        WK-TRAYSATZ       OCCURS MAX-PAPER-TRAYS.            03       WK-TRAYNAME       PIC X(24).       01&nb

Hello, I am trying to download the COBOL compiler but never received an email with a link.  Also the Support Line seems to be down.  Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, I downloaded and installed Visual COBOL for Visual Studio Personal Edition v2.2 0.  I have Visual Studio 2012 Pro Version 1.0.61030.00 Update 4. I wanted to test the WCF program installed here: C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\Samples\\WCF\\WEB WCF Service. When I follow the instructions given in the Readme.xml and key in a number and hit enter, I get the following error: The debugger highlights this line: Console.WriteLine(client.GetData(enter)); in the Program.cs file. Does anybody know how to fix this error? I'm an old COBOL programmer with 40 years of experience on WANG VS and HP3000 systems trying to learn something about the newer COBOL programming. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks,Tony

Till now I did nothing with CGI and web server. I found in the documentation of Extend 9.2.3 by 4. Launching Web Applications Through CGI how to configuring for windows 2000 but I want to do it on a local PC with Windows 8.1. So someone can make me happy with a guide for To Configure IIS on a Windows8.1 instead of To Configure IIS on a Windows 2000 Server.#IISWINDOWS8.1CGI

Is LINQ supported in Visual Cobol yet?#VisualCOBOL#Linq#VisualCobolManaged

We've recently switched to Visual Cobol from Net Express (Ms Windows on PCs). We use old MF Dialogue GUI and built in MF Cobol file formats. I'd like to create a simple client installation procedure, ideally automated though could be semi manual if simpler. Target machines could be standalone or acting as a server for a small group of client/users. What's the best way to do this? Some questions... is it better to install the run time licenses separately or can it be packaged together. Should I create a single exe or supply separate GNT files? Thank you, Linden

Hello everyone, I have a problem understanding how acubench and acusql are trying to connect to mysql!! I include this to my work storage EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC. EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. 01 servername pic x(30). 01 userid pic x(30). 01 passwd. 49 passwd-length PIC s9(4) comp-5 value 0. 49 passwd-name PIC x(18). EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. I also do this to get the length for the passwd INSPECT passwd-name TALLYING passwd-length FOR CHARACTERS BEFORE INITIAL " ". and this is my esql command where servername is "something.com:3306" userid is "admin" and passwd-name is "password" EXEC SQL CONNECT TO :servername  USER :userid USING :passwd END-EXEC. my compiler options are -Ps -Pr -Pe -o When i debug this code i get that SQLCODE=-1

I don't know if anyone has come across this before but, when using JDBC, if I specify setMaxRows on the PreparedStatement, no rows are returned. As soon as I remove this statement, I get all the results. This only seems to occur on tables which contain a column of type LONGVARCHAR and only when the LONGVARCHAR column is returned in the ResultSet. On tables without LONGVARCHAR columns I can use setMaxSize without any issues. Another problem that I am encountering with the same tables is that, if I remove the setMaxRows statement and begin processing the ResultSet, when I get to the LONGVARCHAR column, I am unable to read the value. Instead, I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: [Relativity JDBC Driver][SimbaLNA][Liant][Relativity RM Server]Invalid column number. at relativity.jdbc.PackBuffer.getSQLException(Unknown Source) at relativity.jdbc.RPCInterface.handleError(Unknown Source) at relativity.jdbc.RPCInterface.S

I've uploaded a simple c# project which uses a persistent object class and DevExpress XPO (xpress persistent objects) to bind a SQLite database table (called trans_item) to a DevExpress GridControl.  I have also uploaded a Visual COBOL project which tries to do the same thing.  I am trying to translate the c# persistent object class (trans_item) into Visual COBOL.  The problem I am having is in defining the attributes.  There are three DevExpress attributes I need to set.  I have looked at the Visual COBOL documentation on attributes and also at the the CustomAttributes solution under Micro focus Visual COBOL Samples.  The c# project works.  There is something wrong with how I am defining the attributes in Visual COBOL.  The editor gives an error of "incorrect program structure" for the first instance of "attribute" in the code. The c# class looks like this: using DevExpress.Xpo;namespace CsSQLite{    public

New to this XML stuff help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to retrieve an XML form that is embedded on an HTML web page. I'm trying to use "IXMLHTTPRequest" to accomplish this I found the below example of how to this in VB. Can you help me translate this to COBOL. Specifically I'm not sure how to create the "FormData" object. VB EXAMPLE: Retrieving a FormData object from an HTML form To construct a FormData object that contains the data from an existing element represents a document section that contains interactive controls to submit information to a web server." href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form"<form>, specify that form element when creating the FormData object: var formData = new FormData(someFormElement); 　 For example: var formElement = document.getElementById("myFormElement"); var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open("POST", "submitform.php"); request.send(new FormData(formE

I have the following problem: We had the following code in an html file <input type=text size=14 maxsize=12 value=%%Sum%%> If we set the value 15 to the Sum-variable in the cbl-program, the html-source code in the browser would look like this: <input type=text size=14 maxsize=12 value=       15,00> but in effect the browser would deprecate the leading spaces, showing 15,00 (aligned to the left) in the textbox. Now, W3C html-standards dictate, that attributes values need to be enclosed by hyphen(?), as in: <input type="text" size="14" maxsize="12" value="%%Sum%%"> But now, using this format, the browser DOESN'T deprecate the leading spaces. Instead it treats the value as a string, thus showing the leading spaces followed by 15,00 in the textbox. The leading spaces are also aligned to the left, which makes the desired value of 15,00 show up in the middle of the textbox. The Sum variable is of the pic ---.---.---,99 type. And the value is submitt

I am searching for a setup document for IIS 7.0 and Net Express 5.1 for web applications.  I am having the following issues 1) I cannot get the "CBL_DEBUGBREAK" to pop the debugger from IIS.  In older versions of IIS, I could just click the "interact with desktop" on the service and it would allow this to work.  Are there updated instructions for IIS debugging with the newer versions of IIS and the more locked down security of IIS in its current state 2) IIS will not automatically identify the system variables we use to set COBSW and other settings.  In older versions of IIS, it inherited all of the environment variables, but it no longer does that.    Are there instructions on how to do this with Net Express 5.1 and IIS 7 3) Is there a best practice document when using IIS that details how to use configuration files to setup parameters in lieu of calling the .exe directly?  In Apache on UNIX we use shell scripts to setup t

Created On:  25 October 2012 Problem: Using AcuConnect Thin Client 9.1.2, whenever the load of the traffic increases, acuthin crashes with the following message: "Communication socket closed unexpectedly". The issue occurs even running acurcl and acuthin on the same machine. It is not present with previous 9.1.x versions. Resolution: When large amounts of data were transferred from the thin client to the application host, or vice versa, the socket could fill, causing an error in the function used to send data. This could cause the socket to close unexpectedly, forcing a disconnect. This is now been fixed in version 9.1.2.1, soon available for download.
