Hello, I'm working with Net Express 5.1 in windows 10, when I try to modify the value of a variable during debugging, I get the modify window, but I don't see the value, so I can't change any variable. What is missing from my installation? Kind Regargds and thank you in advance.

Created On:  05 July 2012 Problem: A customer wishes to use a C# program to call an entry point in a native COBOL .dll.  How can a .NET Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) be used in C# to call a COBOL program and pass parameters back and forth? Resolution: There is a demo application attached here called cscallCOBOL.zip.Unzip the demo to your C:\\ drive retaining the folder structure in the zip file.The solution file C:\\cscallCOBOL\\mycobol\\cscallCOBOL.sln contains two projects.The main project is a C# console application which calls the native COBOL project using Platform Invoke.The program passes 3 parameters defined as a stringbuffer, an integer and a structure containing two string fields.These fields are populated by C# and passed to COBOL.COBOL then changes the values and returns to C# where they are displayed to the console.The C# program looks like: using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Runtime.InteropServ

Hello, good afternoon, When I'm drawing in Net Express 5.1, when I try to modify the value of a variable during execution, I get the modify window, but I don't see the value, so I can't change it. What is missing from my installation? Please explain in detail that I am new. A greeting and thanks in advance

We have an ACUGT GUI screen that can display document content it should present an embedded window displaying either a single document or in this case a selection of pdfs. Instead we get the error The Client is testing Edge as a replacement  for IE9 as it is no longer supported. Would you expect that a cobol upgrade is required or is it more likely a switch to Chrome or running Edge in a compatability mode? Thanks Jim

I am performing below. Getting lot of timeouts. Setup: rm/cobol <=====> RMNet <====> MIRTH <====> API in Sql Server. Test Case: # 20 synchronous call to API from RM/COBOL application. [Breakout condition in our shop] Result # Majority call was successfu. # Few are timeout. [Not able to see request transaction ] Is there any tuning or setup that maybe missing ? Need guidance or direction would be helpful.#RMNet#RMCOBOL

Is there anyway to 'Read" a copy file from Working Storage each time the program is ran? Here is a example. For 20 or so programs only certain users can run different functions from the program. Currently I have to compile the program each time I change the table. 01 FG1700-TABLE PIC X(03).     88 VALID-ALL VALUE                          "SGK" "SGT"                          "DMR" "DMP"                           "DMS" "DMF"                           "DMD" "DM3".     88 VALID-FG0400 VALUE                         "SGK" "SGT"    &nbsp

Does RMCOBOL support containerization using docker? we have plans to move our application built in RMCOBOL to GCP. One of the question came out is related to possibility of containerizing the application using docker/Kubernetes. I have not seen any info related to this on web. Any leads please? Thanks, Bharath#container#Cloud#docker

Hi, I appreciate Chris Glazier has previously posted that Net Express is not certified on Windows 10. However we have a application developed in Net Express 5.1 which uses the CCITCP interface and CCITCP2 and customers have reported  the application freezing if left open on certain programs for a period of time. Looking at the mfclisrv.log I have noticed large number of CCITC32-0008E and CCITC32-0041E messages in the log. We have a large customer base running different versions of Windows and it will be hard to get them to willingly pay towards the cost of upgrading the existing application to Visual COBOL. So, with that in mind would I be right in saying this relates to the original post by Chris regarding the limitations of the underlying build tools and the c-runtime. https://community.rocketsoftware.com/discussion/netexpress-51-compatibility-with-windows-server-2012-r2#bm6d667238-0637-40c7-89ee-183be65fc7e2 Any pointers would be much appreciated as if

When i use the UNDERLINE clause with USING fields it doesn't display the UNDERLINE unless the cursor is at the field. Is there anyway to ALWAYS display the underline for these fields. The first image is how it looks now. The second image is how i would like it to appear. Thanks in advance for any help. working-storage section. 01 ws-field-1 pic x(10). 01 ws-field-2 pic x(10). 01 ws-field-3 pic x(10). 01 ws-field-4 pic x(10). screen section. 01 my-screen. 05 pic x(10) value "field-1" line 5 col 5. 05 pic x(10) line 5 col 15 using ws-field-1 underline. 05 pic x(10) value "field-2" line 7 col 5 05 pic x(10) line 7 col 15 using ws-field-2 underline . 05 pic x(10) value "field-3" line 9 col 5. 05 pic x(10) line 9 col 15 using ws-field-3 underline . procedure division.

There are some visual effects with windows11 regarding our application that are quite appealing, for instance that the entry-field that has the focus is "highlighted" by a blue line at the bottom.Is there a way to do such a thing in windows10, too ? Perhaps with manifests ?

I am using Visual Cobol for Windows Version 7 I have a Visual COBOL SCREEN SECTION FORM with a number of modifiable fields. I use the CONTROL clause to dynamically make fields modifiable or protected When i protect a modifiable field it will still tab to that field. I have tried setting the ADISCF option "Control of whether protected fields are skipped" to skip (2), but that doesn't seem to have any effect Is there any way to get ADIS to skip fields if they are protected? Thanks in advance for any help

I wish to display a bitmap or jpg file using W$BITMAP.  I want to know the width & height so I can show it in a floating window that is the correct size.  Can anyone offer a suggestion ?  Also it would be nice if there was an option with the WBITMAP-DISPLAY op to resize or scale the graphic smaller by a %

If i run a program that uses DBCONNECT/ACU4GL to access an MS/SQL Data base, and it crashes, When I run the program again i get a 9A error. This appears to be because the lock table is not updated to remove any locks. How can i reset the lock table after a crash or should i use another approach? Thanks in advance for any help#locking#VisualCOBOL#dbconnect#SQL#Acu4GL

Drake ---  Any chance of modifying this to work on ACU-Web so that it will load a photo from a tablet or smart phone ? Or setting up a new library call to do stuff on these devices such as:   -  Load a photo to be captured    -   Send a text message  Now that would be something to enhance the product.#WBITMAP#Tablets#photo#smartphone

Hi.   Did a utility program to use the RMNet libraries.  Tested with 10.3.1 in linux.  Used the librmnet64.so library.   If I use the -y method of loading the library, it works and the various "methods" are available.  eg) NetInit, HttpPost, NetFree, and NetCleanup.   But if I instead try to load it using:   call "./librmnet64.so" there is no error, but the methods are not available either.  I just get an error message: NetInit: Program missing or inaccessible A symbol dump reveals the library has RMDLLNetInit, but trying to call that directly fails as well. Does the library have to load via -y or am I missing a configuration option?

I am adding Embedded SQL to my programs, and I was wondering how I would setup the Declaratives Section of the COBOL program to use the Embedded SQL Cursors instead of the COBOL Files? Do I even need that section any longer when using Embedded SQL?

It happens so easily: you run your AcuToWeb application in your browser, you open a new tab to look something up and instead of closing the tab you close the browser. Your application is still running on the server but there is - as far as I know - no way to reconnect to this session. Is there a way to prevent the browser (all browsers) from closing when running an ATW application ?
