[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 08 June 2012]Hello!From verson 9.0 (9.1 ?), AcuCobol handles stored objects. That is, we can send and receive objects as classes structs etc from ie. a C# method.I am testing this, and for simpler objects I have managed to receive and handle objects correct.But now I have a method that returns a C# Dictionary object.This, I cannot figure out how to handle. Therefore I hope for an answer on this forum.I have my return object in this handle:77 hDictOperators usage is handle of Object value 0.It is used in this call:modify hMaventa "@GetOperators" (mav-returTabAnt)giving hDictOperatorsThe object is stored in this, and I get the correct result if I ie. ask for the number of instances:inquire hDictOperators @Count ws-tellerI can also extract the keys into another stored object, like this:inquire hDictOperators @Keys hDictKeysBut the question is; how can I extract the keys and values into pic x - variables?The normal way of doing this

The result is a new greatly enhanced user interface that can be used through web and mobile channels. The main features of the solution are: Automatic conversion of COBOL-WOW projects with the creation of WPF screen set. Separation is maintained between the mask and the source, just like in COBOL-WOW. The logic of the program is not changed in any way: the program pilots cobol masks and not vice versa. Support of all COBOL-WOW controls. Support of Active-X controls. Support of the main COBOL-WOW functions (WowGetProp, WowSetProp, WowAddItem, WowGetMessage, etc..). Emulation of the COBOL-WOW event management. Conversion, when

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 12 March 2012]We have problems with one of our tasks.We are in a project to integrate to a webservice. There is written a proxy wrapper for us, to handle the communication with the webservice.But we get an error when trying to create one of its classes, the runtime crashes. When dissecting the wrapper, it seems that this class is the client class for the webservice. This means that we are trying to create a object – a class – that really is a webservice class.We are not very familiar with consuming webservice etc. and we are on a thin ice here...When I write a small C# code to do the same, it is necessary to add a config file to the C# project. This config file (app.config) holds the information about the webservice adress, binding etc. We have the config file, but is it possible to refer to it when creating the class? The short question is; is it possible to create a class in a dll component, that refers to a webservice class?Is the probl

When cobcancel is called, process CPU utilization gets to on a non-root user with default process priorities whereas when cobcancel is not called, CPU utilization gets up to at most which is sufficient for the time being?When cobcancel is not called, does that produce memory leak or any other side-effects or run-time errors on application?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 01 March 2012]Hello!I have created a class in a .NET dll file. This class inherits another class, a base class.I want to set some properties that are implemented in the base class. When I make a definition file using NETDEFGEN, only selecting the child class, I dont get an definition of the properties. If I also select to include the base class in my definition file, I get a description of the properties. But refering to the child class, I dont get to set them anyway. How can i set this values?Must I first create the base class, set the properties and then create the child class? But how is the two then linked together?The exact situation is the dll "System.ServiceModel.dll".This has a class "WSHttpBinding", that inherits the base class "WSHttpBindingBase".In the base class, there is two properties I want to set, for instance "MaxBufferPoolSize".How can this be set?Regards Dagl

Very easy : from the libharu.org/.../Downloads I downloaded the last stable version, then configure, make, make install and the library is installed. I checked with C examples from the libharu site : a simple compile using gcc font_demo.c -l hpdfdoes the job and the program generates the pdf file.I used h2cpy to generate properly the types according to libharu .h files. In fact, most of the functions work with pointers (maybe, that's my problem).I created a small cobol sample program which is the translation of a C demo file font_demo.cbl.No problem at compliation time using :cob -x font_demo.cbl -l hpdfIt even runs without problem, except that the final results are completly wrong!! At the beginning of the program, it asks for the size of the page which should be (841, 595) and I find neg

That is, when support for the RM / COBOL system is no longer available...Exists or will exist some software that does the same job?Thank you

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 03 October 2011]Hello!We have recently started to research and use AcuSQL. We use AcuSQL to export reporting data to a SQL Server for reporting issues. This is meant for a HQ solution, wich will gather data for several companies.As the use of this is for HQ reporting, we need to open a connection to a central, remote SQL Server. Therefore, we need to connect to a SQL Server that is residing on a remote maching on the same network. Possibly also through the internet.My question is; how can this be done? Has someone else tried this?We have tried to put the adress of the computer in front of the servername/instancename. But we cant make it work.Example:move "\\\\\\\\" to servernamemove "" to useridmove "" to passwdEXEC SQL CONNECT TO :servername as sqlConn USER :userid USING :passwd END-EXECI would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint.Regards Dagl

I can get the debugger to step thru when debugging but can't get it to run thru the program. The complier works fine. Is this because we are not connecting to a windows database or process scheduler and the application is running on windows? Any advice, comments or help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried numerous tips out on the web to no avail so I figured posing the question out on this forum couldn’t hurt... thank you.

Does Micro Focus has any recommendation or component in the later releases of Net Express/Studio Enterprise Edition to support migration from Dialog system to web forms? As per my understanding, Dialog System has been retired and one possible way is to expose the business logic as web service and get it integrated into the newly built web forms.I would appreciate the response from anyone who has any prior experience in this regard.regards
