Good morning: I am having this error "Error invoking unauthorized copy of runtime. Semaphore function error (Loc 809)." when I run a series of routines, the problem is that some days it runs fine without errors and others it begins to give this error. Anyone have any idea why? I don't really have stability in the process. Thanks in advance.

I would like to create a website in which our clients can download bank statements going as far back as a year. I know that Visual COBOL has a ‘Web Application Development’ capabilities. Can anyone please provide resources (demos, video tutorials etc.) and how to go about in undertaking this project?  Thanks, in advance.

Hi allIn a thin client environment i need to print a report with no prompt.So before the calling of "@[DISPLAY]:AcuBenchPrintExecWBBPrint" I move the name of the desired printer in the ACU-PRINTER-NAME parameter (with a X"00" at the string's end) but the print job goes always to the default printer and not the one I want.I read printer's name by WIN$PRINTER routine.I work with Acu 7.0.Testing not in a thin client environment worked fine. I appreciate any help. Criss.

Hi everybody I made a simple .NET control that incapsulate a WebView2 browser from Microsoft. Those are the steps I did: Build the library as .NET dll file Tested the library using it in a WindowsFrom project: it works (events are fired and handled) Used NetDefGen utility to create the COBOL definition for the .NET library Made a simple COBOL program that uses the control Copied all the needed dll in the same directory the acuthin.exe is Created the NetEvents.ini file in the same directory Throw Thin-Client a run the COBOL program The control itself seems to work: The control is rendered in the window I can set any public property of the .NET control and it works I can inquire any public property of the .NET control and I have it There is only a thing that doesn't work: COBOL program doesn't handle any event. Using the debug, I see the code never pass through the event procedure of the .NET control. What can I do? The Thin-Client runtime is 10.2.1 and hosted in a SLES server. The

We have updated our servers to Windows 2019. In this process we had to re-add the licenses for Micro Focus Net express. We are now getting on a couple servers a error showing the license is expired. When we check the license it shows Full License. Is there something that we can change to make sure the full license sticks and does not intermittingly go away and come back? Our version is 5.116.0022.

Environment ACUCOBOL-GT 10.3.0, 10.3.1 and 10.4.0All Operating Systems  Problem Compilation may hang using the following command-lines:ccbl32 --netexe TestNetToCobol.cblccbl32 --netdll TestNetToCobol.cbl Using previous versions, such as 10.2.1, the following message may appear instead:ccbl32 --netdll TestNetToCobol.cbl.NET Version Not Found: --netdll  Resolution When using certain types in the Linkage Section of a COBOL program, and compiling with --netdll or --netexe, the compiler would fail to produce the .Net assembly. The types that would cause the failure are types thatwould be cast to unsigned .net types, including handles. A new fix has been developed: ECN-4718It will be released in the upcoming version 10.4.1 of ACUCOBOL-GT. https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000002019?language=en_US #SupportTips/KnowledgeDocss/KnowledgeDocs#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs

Network Shares can be fast when only one user is working with a Vision file, especially when data is only being READ and not changing. This is because Windows Shares have been optimised for this kind of situation and a lot of caching happens.  AcuServer is faster when more than one user starts working with the same file. It delivers consistent results despite the number of users.  The following tests show that Network Shares are very fast with one user, but as the number of users increase, the performance of Network Shares dramatically decreases. AcuServer results are not as fast with a single user but remain consistent as the number of users increase.  NOTE: These tests may not reflect exactly how other programs works but the general trend should still apply. Concurrent tests should be performed with other programs/setups to see how AcuServer compares to Network Shares as numbers of users increase.  Tests done with AcuCOBOL-GT extend 10.4.0 on Window

Environment Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2019 V7.0 Patch Update 1 Problem How can I call a native .DLL written in COBOL or some other language from a managed .NET COBOL application? Resolution The attached zip file contains a Visual Studio solution with a native COBOL project called testpinvoke and a managed .NET COBOL project called ManClient.Open the solution testpinvoke.sln in Visual Studio and Rebuild Solution. Both compiled executables will be output to the debug folder of the ManClient project. ManClient is set as the Startup project so you can start debugging through it using the F11 key or by selecting Step Into from the Debug menu item. This program will demonstrate calling a native COBOL .DLL using P/Invoke in two distinct ways. The first way uses a standard COBOL CALL statement and COBOL data types. The second way uses a C# style P/Invoke using the DLLImport attribute in order to create a

I have a version 9.00 Relativity Catalog and I am not finding a way to upgrade this catalog to the current version.  Is there a way to upgrade the version 9.00 Relativity Catalog to version 12.17? or do I have to create a new Relativity Catalog? #Relativity

I don't know if it's just me but I find it very difficult to read the messages in the Net Express and Visual COBOL forums. Is there a possibility that a darker colour could be used? Probably difficult if black is standard but maybe use a bold version? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to purchase a contract from RMCOBOL support to reinstall my software on a new HD, have been impossible, I am on Puerto Rico, been working via Mex. Any way to get this service via E.U. I have been working via email, without any solution, please needs help.. Thanks

Anyone have this problem with Acubench? I did a uninstall, rebooted the server, then did a install again.

I'm evaluating Relativity and I'm trying to find my way with the tool. In Relativity DBA, I create a new data source (File --> Create New Data Source). I choose the Micro Focus Relativity Data Manager driver. Inside the DSN Window, I click on "Create catalog" and choose a name for my file. When I click OK, I get a "Verify Catalog Error" message: "Internal Error -4160". Then I get "Catalog filename.rcg could not be verified because of an internal error". I also tried it on a virtual machine, same result, except I have Internal error -4144. I executed Process Monitor from Sysinternals on both workstations and the only thing I see, it's that it's looking for the "HKLM\\Software\\WOW6432Node\\Micro Focus\\Relativity\\RELDBMS.INI\\CRDM" key in the Windows Registry, which is missing. I don't know if it's related to the problem. Thank you for your help!#RelativityODBC

Hi, I have a trial version of VC 7.0 .Net as we are looking to upgrade from Net Express V5.118 for future development. So I have managed to compile the existing code to .int using MF"12" compiler directive. However if I try to run the .int on an environment with a Net Express runtime I get error code '165: Version number incompatibility'. I have platform target set to 'X86', output type 'INT/GNT' and compile for debugging. So wanted to check if this is possible as I am pretty sure I have run .int files on a older product runtime and a earlier version of VC previously. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I am using Visual Cobol 2.3 in Linux. My requirement is to keep trailing spaces while writing data in output file. Even after setting FCD-STATUS-TYPE bit 5 to 1 (i.e. STRIPSPACE=OFF) cobol is removing trailing spaces in output file. Here is the code which I am referring:  CALL 'CBL_OR' using X'20' FCD-STATUS-TYPE value by 1 Please help...#VisualCOBOL#COBOL#Linux

My calls all worked perfectly until I needed to pass a user id and password via pointers to the MCSP area which is then passed via a pointer to the MQCNO record area.  I am getting a pointer value but MQ returns a message that I am not passing a user..

Hi, I'm hoping there's someone who can assist. I am a consultant assisting a customer migrate their mainframe Cobol application to AWS/Windows/MF.

QUESTION:  Visual COBOL includes support for running inside Docker containers. Is there a way a program can determine whether it's running within a container?   HOW TO STEPS: The built-in routine CBL_GET_OS_INFO, can provide information about the COBOL product in use, and the environment in which it's running. As part of the support for working with containers, this routine has been enhanced to return a new bit flag to indicate whether the program is running in a Docker container. When the routine is invoked, it returns a parameter block. One of the items returned is described as "Runtime System Capabilities", and a bit within that item indicates if a container is in use. The attached program is a demonstration of this functionality. It creates a simple report that shows the Product Version, and whether the program is running on a full O/S or within a container. The program uses the new BIT-OF function in Visual COBOL 6.0 to convert this information into an alphanumeric strin
