Hello, I'm looking for some sample code about reading barcodes in format gs1-128 in a cobol program, but, at the moment i don't have anything. Anyone knows of some examples? Thanks afterwards#Barcode

Hi, we are currently using RM Cobol version 10 on win 2003 server and would like to upgrade the win server 2003 to 2008 or 2008R2. Just wanted to know that the Cobol version 10 will be supported on win 2008 server or not? or do i need to upgrade to RM Version 12?  

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

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

Dear Sir, I get the error enclosed using  Visual Cobol for Visual Studio. Many thanks in advanced. PJM

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

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.

Hello, We just did a fresh installation of VC for Eclipse under Windows 7 64 bits and here is the error message : An internal error occurred during: "Initializing Java Tooling".com/microfocus/eclipse/project/content/FileTypeHelper This is the first start of the program. We tried after having suppressed the workspace. Sme thing. I saw that someone had the same problem under Linux. Any idea what it might be ? Kind regards, MR

I am a first time user. I downloaded the trial version with eclipse. I followed it's getting started example til it told me to choose new>project>COBOL. There is on COBOL anything in the list. Any ideas?

Does the CALL "HttpPost" library routine have a built-in timeout, or is it conceivable that it could hang indefinitely while waiting for a response?#RMNet#ACUCOBOL9.2.1#HttpPost#timeout

Hello,I've got a question regarding file locking and the 'wholock' utility.  I'm running on Solaris 10 with version cat $COBDIR/etc/cobvercobol v5.0.00-ePRN=R9CTH/AAH:9l.a5.50.03PTI=WrapPack 4 (7276.7659)PTI=ESPTI=Fixpack50.03_13 Process A is reading a file with fcd.LockModeFlags,FCD_LM_MANUAL. wholock shows that process A holds 0 read and 1 write lock. Process 26709 (user1) on tty ? holds 0 read and 1 write locks What confuses me is that while Process A holds a write lock, Process B is able to WRITE and REWRITE records on that same file with no problems.  Should this be possible and can I rely on 'wholock'? Thanks in advance for any insight or advice. - Rich

If I have to make a certain field of a record larger I use to define the new PIC biger, example PIC x(20)  to PIC X(30).  But afterwards it is necesary to convert the old file to the new structure.  That is quite tedious, because I have to read the old file, move all the corresponding fields to the new, write the new record. If that is finished I must rename the new file so that it has the old name. This procedure Works good, but is sometimes a big job just for this conversión. Does someone know an easier method?   MOVE CORR helps a litle bit, but not at all. Thanks for any help Rolf

I have two solutions running on one server, one is a managed code windows based application, the second is old mainframe code that is running in naïve code.  My managed code application runs fine, but when I try to start one of the naïve code program .exe, I get an error message 245 no valid product license.  Do I have something setup incorrect?  Confused how one solution can find the license but not the other. Thanks
