Hi My team have been using a program which allows use to convert INX (indexed or sequential data files) into ASCII, edit rows individually (w/ hex editor), and then convert the modified file back into INX. This process is not the best way of making a change as it requires all users to be off the system, because we need to ensure that the original INX file doesn't change. On my team, I am not the COBOL developer, so I may have some terminology off. We were wondering if RM/Relativity is the best way to make changes to an INX file in-place, or if there is a utility that comes with RM/COBOL that you can run from the linux command-line to edit specific INX files.#RMCOBOL#Linux#COBOL#Relativity#sequential#INX

hey, I am trying to create a CWS which have multiple ODO in structure, While executing the service I am getting below error which I believe probably due to the initialization issue, Do I need to initialize the complete array ? 230430 12043252 25200 DINESH CASSP0014S Process termination due to RTS error.Execution error : file 'DFHPITP'error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11) 12:04:32

This article explains the various reasons an RTS 114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory might be generated. Problem: A process can only address memory which it has allocated. When a process tries to address memory it has not allocated, a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS signal is generated by the operating system. The RTS catches these signals and processes any posted signal handlers for the signal. The default RTS signal handler produces the RTS error message: Execution error : file 'name' error code: 114, pc=p, call=c, seg=s 114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal n) -- where n is 10 for SIGSEGV and 11 for SIGBUS. Resolution: These signals are usually generated due to either memory corruption or/and invalid pointer usage (in either COBOL or C). Memory corruption involves writing beyond the end of some allocated memory. This memory could be specifically allocated by you us

Hi Team, I am trying to convert the RM COBOL program to visual cobol 8.0 but getting the below error. Please advise. #COBOLVISUALCOBOLMIGRATION

Version is Visual Cobol 8.0 into MSVisual Studio. Using DB2 preprocessor and need to create ,BND file. In the generated DB2 bin file I need information on table inside EXEC SQL INCLUDE as shown here: 002330 EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC.002360 EXEC SQL INCLUDE NFODG657 END-EXEC. This information is not included in the .BND file. How can this be done? Is there a DB2 directive that would achieve this. I tried MULTI-NESTED and MULTI-PACKAGE but that does not add this.

I need to read Vision file from .NET core on Linux system. I see there are Vision APIs and I can use them. I have only a problem: If I open a file in read-only mode, all read are with the "no lock" clause (as told in the documentation) If I open a file in a read-write mode, I need to specify if I want the lock (default) of if I want the no-lock The documentation says: Records read from a file open for I/O are automatically locked unless the external variable f_no_lock is set to a non-zero value first But how can I set this variable if I don't find any call in the library to set it? Can you provide any C# example for set/unset it?#VisionAPI

how is it possible to have a indexed sequential ifle in Netexpress 5.1 with data and index in on file? What is your experience? Is ti possible or not? Why? Thanks for help!

I have below variable: 01 WS-KEY  05 WS-KEY1 PIC X(08).  05 WS-KEY2 PIC X(50). While trying to read WS-KEY against the file, I am getting file status code of 23 (which means that record is not present). However, when I checked the file, I can see the record. I am suspecting that the WS-KEY2 has junk value somewhere in it which might be leading status code of 23. How can I display the hexadecimal value of WS-KEY (or WS-KEY2 alone) to check if it has any junk value. I tried using HEX-OF function but I believe that may not be relevant for RM/COBOL.
