If your company is hiring, please pass on the following information.  I have 15 years of experience designing, developing, enhancing, and converting applications using ACUCOBOL.  I am also familiar with ACUSQL and adding embedded SQL statements in a COBOL program.   I can show you the applications and the code behind the screens.    If you are looking for someone with experience programming and supporting ACUCOBOL applications, I would appreciate the opportunity.  I am not looking to relocate as my family is here in the Dallas area.  I have worked remotely for the past 14 years as a developer and software support person.   I realize onsite training would be necessary and additional times required in the office.  With today’s tools, remote desktop and GoToMeeting, I can be in any meeting as fast as walking down the hall.   If this is a possibility, I would like a chance to prove my abilities.   Send me your

When customers are installing NetExpress it is important that they have Full Admin rights. Most of the customers will say yes I do, but if you ever come across some error such as; Error: Micro Focus License Manager Service is not running; Looking into Services you will see that the MF License Manager is missing. Cause: This error happen when launching NetExpress there is a chance that the customer has moved their product to a different machine and has not rights for the Registry- it is important that they do have right for the Registry as the software require to write in the registry when installing the product. In previous wrap-pack such as NX 5.1_base customer will not get any error during the installation, but with most recent wrap pack such as WP6 when customer install the product will get an error indicating that the Registry Key: SOFTWARE\\Micro Focus\\NetExpress\\5.1\\XDB\\2.0\\XDB Server cannot be written. Resolution: Please make sure that they have fully access to the Registr

Problem:  Net Express must be installed with Full Administrator rights and with full access to the Registry. Failing to do so may cause the following error to occur when launching Net Express: Micro Focus License Manager Service is not running. When opening Windows Services to start the service, the Micro Focus License Manager is missing. From WrapPack 6 onwards, if Net Express is being installed with insufficient rights, an error will indicate that the Registry Key: SOFTWARE\\Micro Focus\\NetExpress\\5.1\\XDB\\2.0\\XDB Server cannot be written. However, in older versions, such as NX 5.1_base, this error does not show during installation. Resolution: Install Net Express with full administrator rights and make sure users have full access to the Registry, this can be checked by going to the following keys in the Registry (just accessing them, no need to perform any modifications): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Micro Focus HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Micro Focus N

Hi, please help  I am working on Micro Focus Net Express V5.104.0083. we execute Cobol programs using command "run.exe  <cobol program>.dll", where .dll is compiled cobol program. i dont know whether this run.exe is proprietary program of the net express suite or created by somebody else within my company. Now this run.exe command is returning error code 66 sometimes. not every time. i want to know if this run.exe is part of Microfocus Net express, if so what does return code 66 mean? if its not part of Net Express, how do cobol programs are executed in general. Thank you very much#NetExpress5.1#COBOL

I accidently deleted a directory that contained my COBCONFIG configuration file.  I've searched the documentation and the files tab, but have had no luck.  If I could please get a sample file, I'm sure I could put the settings I need to change in it.  Especially, I need the setting to use an external file-handler/mfextmap.dat.  Please help out.  Thanks in advance.#COBOLnetexpressCOBCONFIG

Hello, I do have an JVMCobol Project with some thousand CobolFiles. The whole stuff is highly integrated with other JavaSources running in a JBOSS Application Server. The problem is the following : - Saving one Cobol-File results in an "ANT-Run" of ".cobolBuild". The Cobol Task does not check if the source file is younger than the generated Classfile. So every file is compiled. This takes a long time, litteraly killing the development process.  Can somebody provide me with the attributes of the : - Cobol-ANTTask -MfFilelist-ANTTask Basically I do have written an build.xml that looks like this : <fileset id="cbl.src.files" dir="src">     <include name="**/VSD138L.CBL"/>    <include name="**/USERVG.CBL"/> </fileset> <!-- ******************************************************************* --> <target name="init"> </target> <target name="compile

Can the plus sign be used to expand a field (say you click on a county and it expands to show all of the cities within it) in a Net Express screen?  Also, is there a way to choose/highlight a number of records at a time on a screen and send them back to COBOL? First example: KENT User clicks on and gets: -Kent Coventry East Greenwich etc. Example 2 - records are displayed in a list or group box Customer1   Dawn Break Road   Marblehead Customer2  Munster Path            Mockingbirdville Customer3  8 Yacht Place           Warrenburgh Is there a way they can select all three records at once and send them via an array back to COBOL? Thanks.

I would like to be able to print a six digit number as a bar code(128) from MF COBOL on a text document sent to an HP Laserjet printer.  I could not find any reference to this ability in Microfocus' online documentation and this was confirmed by their technical support group today.  Does anyone know of a 3rd party plug in product or any other solution that will allow this capability?  Thank you in advance.  

Can i have a multiline string inside a grid cell#multiline#cell#Grid

Hello, I´m trying to implement in Visual COBOL the following code (C#): report.Render("Image", deviceInfo, CreateStream, out warnings);CreateStream is not a dataitem but a function call... that is, a callback function defined previously as: private Stream CreateStream(string name, string fileNameExtension, Encoding encoding, string mimeType, bool willSeek) { Stream stream = new MemoryStream(); m_streams.Add(stream); return stream; } I can´t get the way to translate that type of callback function call as a parameter of a COBOL INVOKE. This is what I tried, but although it compiles, it doesn´t run (null exception): INVOKE informe::Render("Image", deviceInfo, CreateStream, warnings). And this is the definition of my Callback function: delegate-id CreateStreamHandler. procedure division using nombre as string, fileExtension as string, codificacion as type Encoding, mimeType as string, willSeek as condition-value RETURNING stream as type Stream. end de

This one gives error "PICTURE string has illegal precedence or illegal character" Disp-Comm-Pct                    PIC ZZZ.Z9. Thanks
