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

I have a challenge to solve the following.... The first read of an XML-file in my COBOL program takes 40 minutes.The size of the file is 55 Mb. In my opinion, 40 minutes is too long for the first read. How can I fix this time-problem ? SELECT     XXX2CAK     ASSIGN TO WS-XXX2CAK-NAAM ORGANIZATION              IS XML DOCUMENT-TYPE         IS "Borderel.xsd" FILE STATUS                  IS WS-XXX2CAK-STATUS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XD XXX2CAK. 01 CAK999-Borderel identified by "Borderel"       count in CAK999-Borderel-cnt.    02 CAK999-Bericht identified by "Bericht" count in  CAK999-Bericht-cnt.       03 CAK999-CodeBericht PIC 9(03) identified by "CodeBericht"             count in CAK999-CodeBericht-cnt.       

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

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

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"

Is it possible to use sub reports with the report composer? I would like to call an existing report to form part of the current report when a certain condition is met. We currently use the preview and do print routine to invoke a report. The report is then viewed in the web browser with the option to print. We are on version 9.12 Any advice will be appreciated.      #ReportComposer#extend#acubench#COBOL

Hi, I started receiving error when I try to create a new project with Visual Cobol on Visual Studio 12. Trying to create Managed  Windows Form project I receive Method 'Message' in type 'MicroFocus.COBOLServicesImplementations.ParseHarvester' for assembly 'MicroFocus.COBOLServices, Version 4.0.....does not have an implementation. And creating a console projects returns an exception.  License is installed and the Eclipse versions works fine. I reinstalled multiple times and also installed updates to Visual Studio 12 but nothing solves the problem. I run on Windows 7. Regards

Hi Community! I have encountered a problem sending data past x"3F" over a serial port in managed code. In the docs I read you need to set the encoding to go past the 7-Bit(??) limit. So I did the following: set serialPort1::Encoding to type System.Text.Encoding::GetEncoding(737) *> tried other values like 1252 as suggested in different forums. But when I do: invoke serialPort1::Write(x"FF") *> it results in 3F being sent. where is Bit 8? Somehow I don't get the catch. Should be simple though. I hope someone has an answer. Regards Rainer

Hi. I put a Selection Box in runtime using the "selnbox" class.I have defined for this object the GainFocus (p2ce-gainfocus) and LoseFocus (p2ce-losefocus) events.This events do not occurs when i use mouse, only when i use TAB KEY.The GainFocus occurs 2 times for the SelectionBox.If I am in selection box and set focus on a entry field, for exemple, on selection box occurs the GaindFocus, the LoseFocus and GaindFocus again. Why?Have a solution? Thanks in advance, Antonio João Primavera do Leste  Mato Grosso Brasil.#netexpress#selectionbox#selnbox

Hello, Has anybody heard about a filter for Doxygen for the Cobol language ? Doxygen can handle Fortran code, it should be possible to configure doxygen to parse cobol code. Any information on that subject ? Regards.

I have a new solution that I am deploying on a server.  I have installed the license and cobol server 2012.  My main program is an exe that I am starting from a workstation which has access to the server thru a share.  When I start the program I get the error message 'fplogin.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close'.  I have run this on my laptop which I am developing the code on and it runs ok.  Any ideas?

I am running NX51 and have code that has issues while compressing data. Essentially the program is compressing previously expanded data that was brought down from the Mainframe in ASCII. This code has been in Production for some years but it appears it has a problem handling data that meets a certain criteria: The below code is to compress data that has a single decimal in the definition of the compressed output. The input expanded data has 3 decimals so before this line is executed for example WS-PACKED-DATA-W-DECIMAL has 0000000000030.000. 01  WS-PACKED-DATA-W-DECIMAL               PIC S9(13)V9(3) COMP-3. IF WS-DECIMAL-PLACES = 1                           COMPUTE  WS-PACKED-DATA-W-DECIMAL =               &nb

When generating xml file from cobol, if the last character of value is a special character, then the tag is not generated properly. Please let me know if any precompiler setting is required.   We are using XML GENERATE.    Tag with error, end tag not prepared correctly :     <PREZIME>MILINOVIÄĽ/PREZIME> Cobol version : version @(#)cob.c       5.1.4.0PRN=RXCTS/AAD:9r.B1.51.09PTI=WrapPack 8PTI=ES

I have a program I'm writing and testing under NE5.1. I have an ISAM file that is to be shared between a number of workstations. This will be achieved simply by mapping a drive letter to something like: NET USE E: \\\\BILLSPC\\C$\\SHAREDORDERS\\ /u=blah blah, etc Each workstation will open a file: E:ORDERS.DAT. This is working well and all functionality tested ok. I need to check what is going to happen if/when the network is down so what I do is: 1. Map the drive 2. Start the system in Netexpress and create some data 3. issue a NET USE E: /D command to remove the drive 4. Within the still-running Netexpress system, run a program that firstly tries to CLOSE this file. At this point, the program simply hangs on the CLOSE. No error is returning, it just hangs. Declaratives are not executed. When I select to stop animating I get a message: Execution of program xyz has been interrupted. This program is not animatable, but you can view the call/perform stack. The cause of the interrupt

Hi, I have datafiles formatted using IDXFORMAT"4" and wanted to convert to IDXFORMAT"8" using REBUILD.exe; so basically I will issue a command (under Command Prompt);REBUILD myData01.DAT, myNewData01.DAT /s:MF4 /t:MF8 /d /i /v:500 /e Is this REBUILD command uses EXTFH.cfg?? Or Rebuild application will just do the rest without checking the configuration below;EXTFH=C:\\extfh.cfg Because I am planning to use REBUILD (or create a new IDX8) a datafile... but my EXTFH configuration is still using FILEMAXSIZE=4. Any comment on this? Thanks.#extfh#rebuild.exe#netexpress3.10

I am about to install my first solution in VC 2.2.  Is there a list of the MicroFocus runtime modules that need to be included with my solution?  

I have a solution in Visual Cobol 2012 naïve code that has an internal sort with input and output procedures. I do a perform thru in both procedures. When I debug the code when I go to the input procedure exit, instead of going back to the sort, the code falls thru and does not return.  Ideas?

I need to generate an XML document referencing a unique XML namespace.  There doesn't seem to be direct support for XML namespaces in RM/Cobol XML Extensions.  I may be able to simply use a default namespace for the outgoing document, but it looks like I will definitely have to handle the namespace prefix in the incoming response document.  Is this something I will have to do using XSLT?  Or is there another way to handle this issue?
