Question: What should the  umask be set to when installing RM/COBOL on UNIX/Linux?   Answer: First, you should always install Liant products as root.Set the root umask to 022 if not already set that value. This will provide read/execute permissions to the files for group and other users within the RM/Installation paths.

Question: Where are the runtime and debug configuration files stored or remote projects on Eclipse. Answer: The workspace stores the configuration files in  <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/.org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches. This file can be opened via any text editor.

Is there a possibility sending emails via cobol without the MAPI ?

I have found that national characters like ÄÖüß and so on do not show correctly in a UTF-8 coded managed application when read from an ASCII file created by a native app. Based on an answer I read here on encoding I came up with this code: method-id UTF_conversion. procedure division. *> Specify the code page to correctly interpret byte values set wsEncoding to type Encoding::GetEncoding(1252) *> Windows set codePageValues to Auftragrec *> sequential file to be displayed set n3 to codePageValues::Length *> set Original length of ASCII set tAUFTRAGrec to Auftragrec *> save record to temporary record *> Same content is now encoded as UTF-8 set unicodeValues to wsencoding::GetString(codePageValues) set cAUFTRAGrec to unicodevalues *> for Display  *> Same content "äöüß" is stored as UTF-8 initialize Auftragrec set A-Empfaenger to cA-Empfaenger *> set item containing national characters displayed in list b

Environment is 64-bit AIX, Visual COBOL 2.1 but compiling on the command line.I have a simple COBOL program calling a simple C program. The COBOL program is compiled as 64-bit. The C program is, as far as I am aware, compiled as 64-bit - I have used the compilation option -maix64 and the loader option -b64. Running the program generates the error "253 Cannot load file - unsupported format". I have also tried compiling the COBOL program as 32-bit but with the same result. A previous question in the forum about this same result was apparently due to a 64-bit COBOL program calling a 32-bit C program, but I think I've eliminated that.To eliminate anything else, I edited the two programs down to absolute basics (the return 19 in the C program is so I can check that a value is definitely being returned):        program-id.                     testc.&

Hello ! I'm using: - Visual Cobol 2.2 - Visual Studio 2010 - 32 bits - Oracle Client 11.2.0 The Cobol program is compiled ok. On Project Properties, SQL, the preprocessor being used is OpenESQL and the directive SQL(DBMAN=ODBC) is set. The driver Microsoft ODBC for Oracle is installed. I added the connection Oracle Database (Oracle ODP.NET) and tested the connection. It's ok. I can see the database, the tables, and access them. But when I try to run the program I got a -19703 in this command: EXEC SQL            CONNECT :WS-USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY :WS-PASSWD END-EXEC. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in advance and sorry for any English mistakes.

Hi, I installed MF Visual Cobol for Eclipse 2.2 on Linux (centOS). License is activated and the command line compiler works fine. After it I started eclipse, and I created a small project without any error. Debugger works also. Then I tried to import a big project (version 2.1). It's imported without any error, but the compilation stopped. I closed eclipse and restarted it. It does not work any more, it shows only the splash screen. After it I renamed the workspace and eclipse new restarted. It starts but I get a java error: "An internal error occurred during: "Initializing Java Tooling".com/microfocus/eclipse/project/content/FileTypeHelper" After click on OK it goes, but I can not create a Cobol Project. Any hints or helps? Thx - Laszlo

Problem How can a new data catalogue and the files that are referenced in the catalogue be added to a Unix Relativity Data Server? Resolution The relativity data server is driven by the odbc.ini file that resides in the Relativity Data Server installation directory. The normal installation directory for the Relativity Data Server that uses the RM file handler is: /usr/RelRM12.08/RelRM12.08 For the Relativity Data Server that uses the Micro Focus (MF) file Handler it is: /usr/RelMF12.08/RelMF12.08 The odbc.ini file is split into four main areas. SimbaServer This is headed [SimbaServer] and contains the Relativity configuration information. Once this is setup, it is unlikely that it will be changed. Simba Trace This is headed [Simba Trace] and is used to setup the tracing options that are required to diagnose faults. It is unlikely that this will need to be changed. ODBC Data Sources This is headed [ODBC Data Sources] and is where the link between the data source names and r

Problem As application servers periodically need to be rebuilt, it is required that the RM product needs to be re-installed on a clean server using the existing license. Why does the license not automatically activate itself during the installation process? Resolution The original licenses which may have been issued over six months ago can still be used, but need to be activated. Most licenses are setup to be automatically updated. This will occur once a connection has been established to the Micro Focus (MF) license server. The license will be updated so it becomes current. There are normally four reasons why this cannot happen. The machine that the install is being performed on, is not connected to the internet. This means that a connection cannot be made to the MF License server, so it cannot be automatically updated. RM will use port 80, the normal Web server port to connect to the MF license server. If this port is blocked by a firewall, then the automatic license updat

What was the first version of acucobol that used the routine C$LIST-DIRECTORY? Has the argument LISTDIR-FILE-INFORMATION (defined in "acucobol.def") always existed for this routine? If so, has the definition for LISTDIR-FILE-INFORMATION (defined in "acucobol.def") remained consistent thru newer versions of acucobol? or ever been changed in newer versions? I am finding that one site is getting the following error: Invalid or missing parameter to "C$LIST-DIRECTORY"
