When scrolling horizontally on a grid for a second time, the alignment of the columns is incorrect and some column headers disappear. Running the grid several times and scrolling horizontally also results in inconsistent behaviour on the alignment and the data displayed.

We have what is probably a short term problem - but it's a BIG problem. We have a graphical application coded in AcuCobol (oops - Extend - showing my age there!). It launches automatically when the Windows system starts. This is important. And the second critical requirement is, we need to be able to sign into the system remotely and interact with the program. We currently do this with Remote Desktop. This is easy under Windows desktop (10 & 11) and in the past it was doable on Windows Server. But it's getting harder and harder to accomplish in later Windows Server versions, and in WS2019 it seems impossible. We have not been able to find a way to make the program (1) launch automatically when the server boots, (2) with a graphical UI, and (3) allow us to access & interact with it remotely. Of course we could refactor the application to separate the UI and the rest of the program, but that is more work than we are willing to take on right now. And really the perfect s

Hi Sirs, During the base install in linux  (i.e setup_visualcobol_devhub_8.0_redhat_x86_64)  , can you tell the setup program to use a different folder instead of the default /var/microfocuslicensing/  Thanks.

On some Win10 stations, when running an application developed with NE, the error shown in the image below appears frequently. I have installed a Server for Cobol runtime of 10 users, and it is as if the user counter is increasing until it reaches 10, when in reality is that the application is only running in that station only once. The problem is solved by restarting the station. How to solve this problem and what can be the cause?

Does anyone know how to define the <Document> tag in the stylesheet when it comes with the attribute <Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:camt.054.001.08">. I only manage to do it when I only leave the <Document> tag, when I add the attribute it returns this error Error: 20[0] - in function: GetRootNode Currently in the stylesheet, I have only implemented this <xsl:template match="Document">   <xsl:element name="Docume54">   <xsl:value-of select="."/>   <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template>

We use Visual Cobol 7 in Visual Studio 2019, patch update 14. When changing Git branch we sometimes get the following message: As usual, it doesn't happen every time. We haven't been able though to see any pattern. If you click on Cancel nothing happens. The only way to continue is to finish the process in Task Manager and restart VS. After that you can switch branch.

Hi! Are there restrictions regarding file size when parsing an xml file? My xml-file is almost 700 MB.

We are converting microfocus dialog screens into C# screens. we are facing problem like in sub-programs we have function for call dialog screens now we are unable to find the way to call C# screen or code from managed Cobol. we are accessing the data from C# to Cobol and Cobol to C#  by using data blocks but with this approach we are unbale to maintain the state(table variable are getting empty, validations are getting fails) because we are exiting the from the Cobol and transferring the control to C#.  is any way to call C# code from the Cobol. So that we can trigger the screen where ever we required in Cobol.

Hello, I've always been a IBM mainframer, we just switched over to micro focus Cobol. I need to use the call "system" command to call the dos command prompt and then I need to execute the windows  lpr print command to send a print file to specific printer. Any suggestions?. I've heard I can also use the x91 function 35.

Hi, This old tool of graphical design to make Cobol applications, in graphical environment in Windows, little has evolved since it was published with Net Express. What we have NE projects that contain on average between 200-700 GS files per project and we want to continue in native environment, I ask if there is any alternative to DS in Visual Cobol, as a tool for graphic design of COBOL screens more complete. Is there a tool to migrate from DS semi-automatic to another similar and more modern tool? I have seen documents and examples of migration from DS screens to Forms, which requires adapting screen to screen and related source to source program, and this is a very laborious and tedious work,

Hello, I'm a rookie of this forum. My name is Giovanni Di Chiara and I write from Italy. I don't know if my problem has already been detected before. I'm tried to use the library InstantSQL for connecting to a MS SQL server via ODBC driver. I use RMCobol for Windows. My Windows is a Windows 10 Pro. When I connect to databasesource and I pass ID and Password wrong, before of error return code on my program, it is opened in automatic there is a Error Messagebox of SQL server and then it opened  the Connection SQL Server Dialog Box. It is prossible to disable the "SQL Message Box" and the "Connection SQL Server Dialog". My program is a service the run on background with no User Interface, the errors I'd like to manage into my program. My source code: "            display "USERDB "     userDB.           display "PASSWORDDB " passwordDB.   &nbsp

The REWRITE statement executed without a READ does not update the record set by the MOVE to its key.When executed in a sequence of MOVE key 1, READ, REWRITE, MOVE key 2, REWRITE, the second REWRITE still works on the previously read record.
