32 - 64 Bits

I have a confusion between the different operating systems 32 and 64 BIT. We have a small local area network working under Windows XP with the SMALL BUSINESS SERVER 2003, all terminals running with 32 BIT   The only exception is my computer with Windows 7 in 64 Bit version.  I have the following BAT file in order to look for open files in the server OPEN-FILES.BAT contains: s: openfiles /query /v /s servidor >archivo.txt notepad archivo.txt   If I run this file from C:\\   or from s:\\ it works fine, because it changes to the server disk S:   I included this same BAT file in a NETEXPRESS program.   000001 ID DIVISION. 000002 PROGRAM-ID. TEST-BAT. 000005 ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. 000006 SPECIAL-NAMES.           call-convention 74 is winapi. 000006 DATA DIVISION. 000007 FILE SECTION. 000008 000009 WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. 000273 01 CmdLine          &nbsp

Retrieve AppSettings in HTML

I'm trying to set the text of a label on a webform equal to the value of a "key" in Web.Config. Here's the html code that returns an error saying "Operand ConfigurationManager is not declared": <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["KeyName"] %>'></asp:Label> </div> </form> </body>     And it's trying to retrieve the value from Web.Config (very similar to the Micro Focus example solution BookDemoWebApplication):   <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="MicroFocus.COBOL.Application"> <section name="Environment" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <

When installing Enterprise Developer for Visual Studio 2010 a fatal error 0x80070643 is seen

Problem: When installing Enterprise developer for Visual Studio 2010 a fatal error 0x80070643 is seen. The Enterprise Developer Installation log shows entries such as: C:\\ProgramData\\Package Cache\\{BCDD05C1-4C6E-4E87-BC86-CCDE1EE9EAA3}v2.2.00244\\Enterprise Developer\\enterprisedevelopervisualstudio201022x64.msi, arguments: ' ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT="1" MSIFASTINSTALL="7"' [1C38:0D00][2013-10-15T14:48:02]e000: Error 0x80070643: Failed to uninstall MSI package. Resolution: This error can occur if there are older cached files in the Windows Temp folder. The recommendation is to navigate to, and clear out the %temp% folder, then restart the installation process.

Debugging remote projects where source and executables are on different machines

Problem How to configure Visual COBOL for Eclipse for debugging when the source is located on a different machine to the code which is being executed. Resolution First create a remote project for Machine A. For this demonstration this project contains the source for tictac.cbl with some of the code replaced by procedural copybooks.   Next, build the project to GNT. FTP the generated GNT and IDY files to the second system (Machine B) and delete the GNT and IDY files from Machine A. Now create a second remote project for Machine B, pointing to the location of the GNT and IDY files.   In Project Properties, Project References selecte the remote Machine A project.   Now build this second project. You now have two projects on two different machines.  Source is on Machine A with the executable GNT and debug information IDY files on Machine B. To debug you must create a debug launch perspective for a COBOL Application, de-select “program is part of a project bu

C$COPY and Thin Client Folder Paths

We are attempting to create a html on the server side and use C$COPY to place that html file in the users MY DOCUMENTS folder.  Below is the code that we are attempting to use...it fails on the C$COPY each time we attempt it.  If we hard code in the entire path to a folder the logic works fine, but when we use the Acu-Defined logic below for <MYDOCUMENTS> it starts failing.  We have many remote users and many shared folders and we would like to just default this file to the users documents folder instead of having to pick a share to use. Does anyone have any clues how this can be done or what the issue might be?            PERFORM Acu-Report1-Print-ToFile.           MOVE ZEROS TO WS-ERROR.           MOVE SPACES TO WS-STRING.           STRING "@[DISPLAY]:<MYDOC

Unhandled Errors

As we migrate from a mainframe to Visual COBOL, we are concerned that programs currently aborting with unhandled exceptions will complete without any indication of an error. Here are a couple examples of errors that don’t stop the program with an error message like they do on the mainframe:         Divide by zero        program-id. Program1 as "Project1.Program1".        data division.        working-storage section.        01 NUMERATOR    PIC 9.        01 DENOMINATOR  PIC 9.        01 QUOTIENT     PIC 9.        procedure division.            MOVE 1      TO NUMERATOR.          &nbsp

Wpf Listview Multi Select w/checkbox

Would like to build Listview(listbox) containing a checkbox with the ability to select as many checkbox's desired, and then update DB (codebehind) with data from the screen. I'll just read thru Listview and update.  Example. On the screen user would enter a valid Sku# in a textbox, the user would see a Listview containing a listview of valid products, user would select (checkbox) as many rows desired and then click an update button. Behind code would read thru the listview and anything checked I would update DB. I am unsure how to setup Listview currectly with checkbox and multi select Wondering if anynody has a working example of a WPF solution that has either Listview/Listbox with checkbox option with multi select. I know this is a very specific requerst, feel free to send me an email. Thanks Thanks Marc Hinrichen mhinrichsen@lmc.net#VisualCOBOL#COBOL#listview#ListView#Checkbox#wpf#multi

dll and float type

Hopefully somone can give me some direction here.  I am required to call a dll passing a 'float' type as part of a structure. I'm not sure what this will translate to in acucobol. They use "QuadWord alignment (8 bytes)", I'm not sure if this is important or not. Here is what I have regarding the function to call: float  - 8 bytes floating point (this will be dollar amount with 2 decimal places)string - length 30 (null terminated)string - length 30 (null terminated) Here is how I defined the structure in acucobol: 01  WS-Structure.    03 WS-Float-Val    ?????????.     03 WS-String1-Val  PIC X(30).     03 WS-String2-Val  PIC X(30). How should I define the float value?  Should I make it PIC 9(10)V99 COMP-5? How do I make sure it takes up 8 bytes? I have a sample of the function call in delphi if that would help... Thanks for any insight :-)
