[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 05 June 2008]Hello all - (sorry for the book)I'm having an issue with lost threading within a multi-level threading environment. I have isolated where I am losing the thread, but I'll give some background information first.I have a process which is chosen from the main menu window which then calls the first program where the user makes a selection of over 100 people to run the process on, which then calls a parameter program, which then calls the processing program, which then calls the print program at which point the user closes/prints the displayed print and the process wraps back around to start again with the next selected person and so on. This process was working seamlessly when, about a month ago, this lost thread began to happen. I have tried numerous things, but I can't even find an available variable to help me force the path to continue. The thread(s) is getting lost after the 15th processing in the Acu-Proc of

I need to move in the cell of the grid a string not defined in size, but what i have to do is go ahead with the rest part of the string (in a new line maybe) when the size of the cell is full.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 18 June 2008]Hi there,Does anybody know how it would be possible to replicate with Micro Focus cobol on Unix the ACU specific screen width switching display:DISPLAY SCREEN 132DISPLAY SCREEN 80 ?The closest from this I have found in Micro Focus Cobol (Server Express) is to do a call "cobtermmode" using with 0 meaning 80 Columns and 1 meaning 132.The problem is - so far - I got it only working with TERM=vt100 (with no color support) and also anything I try to display after column 80 when in 132 columns mode is simply ignored.As in ACU, I need to be able to seamlessly switch (with full color support)between screens with a 132 columns width and others with 80 columns width.Apparently cobtermmode relies on terminfo and can only switch between 132 and 80 columns if the terminfo file includes support for wide mode (ie: vt100-w with cols#132)Ideally I would probably need to get hold of a Terminfo file with the following capabilities:swit

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 30 July 2008]I have registered to the forum but am not able to post anything yet. I am waiting for the administrator to give me this right. In the meantime could you post the following question?*I want to use an Acubench grid control to enter transactions. Basically there are 4 visible columns and 13 rows. Row 1 being a header row.Since the AcuBench help manuals indicate that each cell provides all function key feature of an entry field, I made the assumption that I would get all event procedure of an entry field as well. Apparently this is not so.I have 2 questions. *1. I would like to edit whatever the user types in the first column cells as s/he types it. In an entry field, I used the Ntf-Changed event. I am reformatting an account number to use ?-? between segments, e.g., the user type ?00? and now the entry field shows ?00-? with the cursor positioned after the ?-? ready to accept the next character. Thus the user enters digits ?00001

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 07 August 2008]We have designed all our graphical screen to run at 800x600. Customers are now asking to be able to run at either 800x600 or 1024x768. I read about the resize manger and have been trying to incorporate that into our software. I have one problem, the resize manger appears to only allow me to either move controls or resize controls. I want to do both, more it and resize it. I tried adding the resize and move values together but it only performs the move not the resize and move both. Has anyone gotten the resize manger to both move and resize controls using the resize mananger?

Now we wonder to choose the right approach:1) build a .NET program that talks to Acu for the data i/o and business logic of data's2) build a Cobol program that includes (more than one) .NET objects and manages them?Main app may be running on Thin environment just for performance purpose not due to remote accessibility.Any suggestion to make the right and easier choice?Thank in Advance, Gio.

I have tried to find the hwnd of the textbox (I know nothing about acucobol so forgive me if my terms are incorrect) but I can only find the hwnd of the parent window and child window. I am a production worker trying to combine several step into one with vb. The IT dept wouldn't approve of me trying this so I haven't gone to them for help. My luck they probably check this forum regularly and guess that its me. I can't tell you a lot about thin client, I don't know if all thin clients are the same or not, but ours is just a "copy" of our old DG system, you enter a number at the flashing cursor and hit enter to go to the next screen then type in another number or text and hit enter and so on.
