Hi,  1. Installed COBOL runtime environment onto a clean Windows 2012 server   2. COBOL32 folder is available in the required drive - Unzip from existing server(W2008) 3. Environment variables has been setup  COBDIR = C:\\COBOL32\\LBR;C:\\COBOL32\\EXEDLL\\ COBSW =  -F  UTILDIR = C:\\COBOL32\\LBR  Amended the System Environment Variable, PATH, to include (%COBDIR%) 4. Additional DLL placed in the windows/system32 folder  MSVCR71.dllMSVCRT20.dllNTWDBLIB.dll 5. The Data Execution Prevention System settings has been set to ON(to run only for Windows essential services )  6. My COBOL RUNTIME Test fails i.e From a command prompt, type RUNW and this should bring up a COBOL window I'm getting the below error   Execution error : file 'TRIGGER'error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)

For Chris Glazier By my test for migrating from netepress5.x to VC8.0 i missed the file "dsonline.obj". The second problem is that "object-reference" is now a reserved word, but was generate in Dialog System (gs, cpy, cpb) Are there a possibility to change this with directives? cg

Hey there, I'm currently stuck at the Setup of Visual COBOL, I ran the vcbt_80.exe and finished the setup, but now I kinda don't understand how to continue, the Program Files only include a Licensing and Visual COBOL Build Tools folder. I cannot choose COBOL as a language on VS and cannot use it in VSCode. What do I do after the Installation?  Thank you in advance!

With AcuCobol we generate files in different formats (pdf, xls, docx, txt, csv,....) and the user wants to open it. Is it possible to open a file with the standard application on the client? Like clicking on the file in the windows explorer. 1)  "C$system" requires the name of the application (e.g. C$SYSTEM "@[DISPLAY]:C:\\notepad myfile.txt") 2) As well as "C$run" (C$RUN "@[DISPLAY]:C:\\notepad myfile.txt). 3) Calling the browser control with a file name doesn't work with all formats The problem is that we don't know what standard apllications are installed on the client. Am I to silly to find the right statement?

Problem: How to create files that use UTF-8 or Unicode (UTF-16) character encodings? The strings are initially ANSI based so need to be converted to UTF-8 and UTF-16. Resolution: Attached is an example that shows how you can do this. Converting to Unicode uses standard COBOL syntax for dealing with Unicode strings. UTF-8 is slightly more complex. The Windows API that performs the conversion to UTF-8 is "WideCharToMultiByte". This however requires a Unicode input string to perform the conversion on. A 2 stage conversion approach is required to first convert to Unicode and then to UTF-8 using "WideCharToMultiByte". Attachments: utf8.zip Old KB# 1309

Is it possible to install "setup_visualcobol_devhub_8.0_suse_x64" on a WSL2 instance ?

I was just wondering in your all experiences do customers usually modify an existing legacy cobol program to take advantages of the visual cobol capabilities not available in  traditional cobol, like OOP and classes, or do they simply recompile the existing legacy cobol with no modifications so it can run in a managed environment, basically a straight lift and shift?

Problem: How can I read and write using a serial port with RM/COBOL in Windows? Resolution: COM port communication uses the normal file access method as demonstrated by the attached sample programs. The COMTEST sample program writes via an open output; COMREAD is used to get input. You must check the equipment on the other end to make sure it is configured to accept both input and output  from the COM port. Make sure to check any cabling requirements the device may have. This is essential, as there are many types of cables and different pin configurations. There are straight through cables and Null Modem cables, and no doubt many others. You need to be sure that the cable pin-outs are correct for the device. This is not Liant's area of expertise, and we can't advise better on this, but the equipment being used should have a manual that explains how the cable must be configured. In addition, you must set the port properties on the PC to what is required b
