Execution error : file 'direct'error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0114     Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11) I have been using Microfocus Server Express 5.1 WP 15. It gives error when I am trying to compile cobols. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hoy intenté actualizar en mi PC la versión 7.0 de Visual Cobol a la versión 8.0, ejecutando el proceso vcvs2019_80.exe, y anteriormente no he desinstalado la 7.0. No he recibido ningún mensaje de que debo desinstalar previamente el 7.0, y cuando está terminando la instalación da un error de falla de instalación 0x80131509, no termina la instalación y genera un archivo de registro. La instalación conservó mis datos de licencia, pero VS2019 no reconoce las soluciones de VC que ya tenía. Intenté realizar una reparación de VC 2019 8.0 y devuelve el mismo error 0x80131509. He reiniciado y los errores continúan. ¿Cómo puedo hacer una instalación limpia de VC8.0 sin perder la licencia? Incluso si desinstalo VC8.0 y lo vuelvo a instalar, aparece el error 0x80131509 al final de la instalación. ¿Alguna pista de cómo solucionarlo?#COBOLVISUALCOBOLMIGRATION

One of our servers we are seeing this error in the Event Viewer, "The Micro Focus Fileshare Service: PRSRV service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly." This is the only error we are seeing in the Event viewer and looks like it's causing the application to lose connection with Micro Focus server. Has gotten this before? Thanks in advance.

Today I tried to update in my PC the version 7.0 of Visual Cobol to version 8.0, running the process vcvs2019_80.exe, and previously I have not uninstalled the 7.0. I have not received any message that I should previously uninstall the 7.0, and when it is finishing the installation gives an installation failure error 0x80131509, it does not finish the installation, and generates a log file. The installation has kept my license data, but VS2019 does not recognize the VC solutions I already had. I have tried to perform a repair of VC 2019 8.0 and it returns the same 0x80131509 error. I have restarted, and the errors continue. How can I do a clean install of VC8.0 without losing the license. Even if I uninstall VC8.0, and reinstall it again, the error 0x80131509 appears at the end of the installation. Any clue how to solve it?Regards #Other

Hi Team,  While setting up the remote development support from ED. I am getting license issue though we have valid license installed on the same machine.

Hi, I have to integrate my invoicing application with a cash payment device (CASH DRO3). I still can't understand how I get the result of the operation in JSON format.

Good evening all,  Just to give some brief context, I am upgrading our DEV and PROD servers. The idea is to have them running Visual Cobol 8 and SQL Server 2019. The problem is that I am having issue with ONE single table regarding accents as we can see below. Below I will explain what I did and I will show that nothing changed regarding my setup. 1) I cloned and upgraded our DEV server from RHEL7 + SQL Server 2012 + Visual Cobol 4.11 to RHEL8 + SQL Server 2019 + Visual Cobol 8. 2) I verified all the parameters to be sure that they are the same after the update. What I verified so far: - the environment variable LANG: on both servers we use en_US - the SQL server collation: on both servers we use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS - the database collation: on both servers we use SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN In other words I am using the very same config on both servers and I am understanding why I am having issue with accents. Has anyone here experienced the

After updating my windows 11 21H2 to 22H2 over the microsoft channel, netexpress 5.1 has no license after rebooting. Do Microfocus have a solution for this? What can we do before and after? Thanks for help!

Good Morning, I am using Visual COBOL 8.0 . Trying to compile program part of the remote Project(remote machine is linux 8.5) While compiling the Program for a specific program getting lot of compilation issue. I tried with both RM COBOL and Microfocus as COBOL Dialect but getting lot of compilation issue. Where as even i compiled few other programs with microfocus as cobol dialet and getting them successful. could you please let me know if any additional configuration setting needed for this... for example if you see the WS-PLAN-START-DATE in the above screen print it is there but the compilation gives error saying not declared. could you please advise . Thanks and if you see for this one GRPTMP-GROUP-NUMBER i see this is available in the copybook but still it says not available. Thanks verymuch

Hi, I downloaded Visual Cobol 8.0 for Eclipse (vce_80.exe) and its update (vce_80_pu01_308901.exe) as well as the Eclipse environment (eclipse-inst-jre-win64.exe ; JRE 17.0.4.1). So far, "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" is on my machine and I am trying to install VC8.0 on this Eclipse. Unfortunately, I don't succeed and I am wondering if the Eclipse IDE is the good one. May you please tell me if the 8.0 version runs on the latest version of Eclipse, and if yes, which IDE I should download and install. Tahnk you very much, Didier ROLLAND de RAVEL (drderavel@hotmail.com)

I am trying to write an error-handling routine in my COBOL program for connecting, reading, inserting and deleting tables in my SQL database and would like to know where I can find a list that contains all the possible errors that can potentially be generated along with their code and description. The error codes and their description are assigned to the following variables: 05  SQLCODE         PIC S9(9) COMP-5 VALUE 0. 05  SQLERRM.               49  SQLERRML    PIC S9(4) COMP-5.               49  SQLERRMC    PIC X(70). These variables are part of the copybook located at : “ C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\cpylib\\sqlca.cpy” As an example, a table row containing a null field returns and assigns the error code “0000000001

Hi –   Does RM/COBOL supports any performance analysis tool something like Marco4 FreezeFrame for Z/OS Cobol.   Such  tool did a sampling of currently running process. Record various parameter like memory usage, input-output operations by each programs in current running process, etc.    #RMCOBOL

One developer wants to do a cross-session animation. The program to animate is running from a "batch" script and cobanimsrv is executed from an interactive session. The COBANIMSRV variables and other COB variables are identical in the script and in the session. cobanimsrc starts and waits as expected. When the script starts and gets to the program to animate, cobanimsrv ends immediately without any message, just a series of blank lines. In the meantime, the program in the script pauses as if it was waiting for instructions from cobanimsrv. Back to the session, we determine the program's process id and issue "anim <pid>". The connection is established at the this point and can proceed with the animation. Any idea why cobanimsrv would start/stop immediately and not connect with the program while a direct "anim" would?#COBOL#debugging#COBOLserver#ServerExpress
