Thread originally posted on 09 November 2011]Hi all.We are just beginning to think about modifying our application to handle international characters, including multibyte characters (e.g., Korean).I have been browsing the Extend manuals and knowledge base, and I have not found any mention of Unicode or UTF-8 or UTF-16. Does Extend provide any support for Unicode? For example, can I accept a Unicode input string from a user on a screen, store it in a file, and then display it on the screen?Thanks for any help.Lee

Thread originally posted on 17 October 2011]With the aid of a couple of Microfocus's finest and after a small amount of rewriting, I now have a green-screen application that will run on my PC, both in debugging mode in Eclipse and standalone. However, I need this to run on AIX. I have a VC AIX runtime installed on the target machine, but I haven't been able to find out how to actually get programs compiled and running on AIX. Could anyone tell me what I need to do on which boxes in order to get a running application?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 21 April 2011]I have an issue where the top margin of the first page is always 1/8 inch lower than other pages. This has created an issue with Inkjet printers in that the bottom line will be cut off. This is also an issue if trying to set up printing for a form as well.I can shorten the first page by 1/8, then reset the top margin at the end of the first page and then I can get them to line up, but I shouldn't have to do that.Has anybody else run into this issue and if so what have you done to resolve it?Thanks, Steve

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 30 November 2011]I have a situation that occurs intermittently where the CBL_DELETE_FILE returns a 9/029 error (Attempt to delete open file) on a sequential file that is not supposed to be open. I suspect that the file is either locked by another process or the operating system is not letting go of the file quick enough. This problem has just started happening on code that has been in use for over 10 years so I do not think there is a problem with the code or function. Are there any utilities that could identify what process has the file locked or that could provide any other information that may be helpful that can be called from within COBOL and can be executed at the time the error occurs? The code is compiled under NetExpress 5.0, I am operating in a Microsoft Windows network environment and I am not using FileShare.
