There is no screen display at all.I know how to create activex objects on the client just by displaying it on a form etc but am struggling with the server. I have looked at the SERVER-NAME when displaying the activex but get a compile error.I tried using the CREATE statemnt but did not know what the object name should be and kept getting errors.So if I have an activeX control that performs functions and want to run it on the server not the client does anyone know hhow to do it ?

We just make it visible when called etc.When we need to display the window when other floating windows are already displayed it appears behind the current floating window.How do we bring it to the front when it is called and resdisplayed ?Thank-you.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 17 June 2011]Hello,I am getting run time error '165 Version number incompatibility' in a dll file of cobol code when a call statement is executed during animation. The calling code is a windows executable (formed by linking cobol and c objects)I am developing a netexpress project that uses couple of c objects that are generated using visual studio express 2010.many of the default windows libraries such as kernel32.lib user32.lib etc come installed with Nx5.1 and visual studio as well. Also both have a version of the linker (LINK.exe). Its very obvious that the linker versions are different (10 with VS and 6 with Nx51). There are 2 versions of the link.exe in the Nx5.1 installation one at /bin and the other at /bin/linker why is that ?Will the cobol run time system be ok with code produced by visual studio using its set of files and some code from Nx5.1 library files. Which version of the linker should Nx5.1 invoke.Could you please

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 16 June 2011]Hi All,Wondering if you can help me, experiencing this problem, where you open the main window and then open a floating window. When you move the Main window the floating windows stays in it original spot, it does not move with the main window. Would like to see the floating window move with the main window. If you minimize the main window the floating window is also minimized.Has anyone run into this problem? Working with ACUCOBOLGT 9.I was told that maybe we can call an window API to find the position of the main window and another API to move the floating window to its proper spot.Thanks in advance!!

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 14 June 2011]In Chapter 7 of the Microfocus support documentation under Data Sources the document indicates that when Net Express is installed two data source names (DSN's) are created automatically. "Netexpress Sample1 and Net Express Sample 2" that point to sample access databases (demo.mdb & sample.mdb) that are installed as part of NetExpress in the \\demo\\smpldata directory. I am unable to locate these.... did I miss something on the intial install? I am trying to see if the connection to the database works. I need to get this connection working in order to debug programs so I was going to try and set up OpenESQL to try and access the database via an ODBC driver. Any advice would be much apprecaited.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 02 June 2011]I am a bit frustrated and hope that someone can assist me. I have been trying to set up the debugger portion of Micro Focus with little luck. I created a project (thru IDE as suggested a while back) I have added the necessary cobol files and copybooks. However, once I start animating and stepping thru the process the animation stops with the following error "173 called program file not found in drive/directory PTPSQLRT" However, that file is in the directory. I have tried adding values for cobpath, cobdir etc. to no avail. The documentation only provides you with instuctions about creating a project but it doesn't get any deeper then that. Something is missing or not set up correctly. I have tried just about everything ( I mean the directions don't fully explain everything that needs to be done in order to get this running. The error is quite generic and can happen in a number of applications. Can someone t

Now we want integrate some php code within the pages generated by our cgi scripts. The problem is that the output of the cobol program that runs the cgi (created via displays) is sent directly to navigator and the server does not interpret the php code embedded on page.As a possible solution we plan to run the php code via call system using "php-p something.php >> outputfile" and then the cobol program to read the file outputfile and integrate it into the page but does not seem a very good solution.Any help will be appreciated.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 06 June 2011]Hello,I am trying to precompile some programs using pro*cobol from the command line.I am how ever having issues as the procompiler cannot expand the copyfiles. I have noticed that if the extension is .cob it seems to like it how ever if I use .cpy it does not find it (can this behaviour be changed). I know about the CP preprocessor and the COBCPY env variable usage in the IDE, but how do we use them from the command line ?I was able to do this via the IDE setting the P(COBSQL) p(cp) ENDP; directive. How ever I am not sure how to do this via the command line.Thanks-PTeng
