Hi,  We are new to multi thread environment, hope that can get some advise from all expert here. Currently we are plan to develop a multi thread environment as below.  1) Menu program(which is the main program) call thread for program A.  2) Then minimize Program A and open back the Menu Program.  3) from Menu Program call thread for Program B.  4) then minimize Program B and open back Program A and run data input.  May i know how can we close the thread only when the Program A window is close. If the window is not close yet, any time we can open the Program A and do data input. at the same time, when we minimize Program A, we can called Program B and do data input as well.  Thank You. 

Hi,  We are currently looking to work with multithread environment.  We are able to start the multithread where we can call more than 1 program at the same time from the main program.  But we are having the issue on the toolbar control.  The issue we face as below. 1) from the main program, call program A, then minimize it.  2) go back to main program and call program B and minimize it.  3) go back to main program and call program C and minimize it.  4) open up the program A and try to click the button in the toolbar, it not function.  Each individual program will have own toolbar. if we run the program individually not in the multithread environment, it works correctly.  Only when we made it as multithread environment then the toolbar is not working correctly.  Anyone have any idea on this issue?  Thank You. 

Hello, I have a question I have an ERP that must support client with runtime in the RM / COBOL version 8 object level 11 but we want to compile with version 12.14 we are reviewing the manual and it tells us that to generate the objects z = 11 but at the moment compiling the LST is telling us that the version of the object is 9, you can guide me with this issue RM/COBOL (Version 12.14) for 32-Bit Windows 06/30/2021 18:07:32 Page 3Source file: UCVE1081.FUE Options: E L Q R Z=11 Program Summary Statistics UCVE1081 Read only size: 181508 (X"0002C504") bytesRead/write size: 134802 (X"00020E92") bytesOverlayable segment size: 0 (X"00000000") bytes Total generated object size: 316310 (X"0004D396") bytes Maximum EXTERNAL size: 166 (X"000000A6") bytesTotal EXTERNAL size: 3074 (X"00000C02") bytes Source program used 8253 (1%) of 840000 available identifiers (T1C limit).Source program used 36902 (0%) of 8400000 available user-defined word space (T2B limit).

Problem: Lack of performance accessing Vision files located in a shared directory Resolution: This issue may be caused by the opportunistic locking system of Windows. Here are some useful information about it: Opportunistic Lockshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365433(v=vs.85).aspx PC Ext: Explanation of Opportunistic Locking on Windows NThttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/129202 In most of the cases, opportunistic locking can lead to further error 98 (corruption of indexed file).This is why Micro Focus usually suggest to limit the use of mapped shared drives to avoid this kind of errors.The best approaches in client-server environments is to use AcuConnect Thin Client or AcuServer. In some cases, the issue may be accentuated by a mixed network where new Windows 7 or 8 are now coexisting with older Operating Systems (i.e. Windows XP).The opportunistic locking mechanism (SMB) was changed after Windows XP, introducing a new mechanism (SMB2) in Windows Vista and foll

Hello All, I'm working on a new project with Micro Focus Cobol! Here is what I have: TWOS is a Time and Work Order Management System developed by Ford. It is written in Micro Focus Cobol and runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP4. This is what I need: 1. Upgrade the OS to SLES 15 SP1 2. Upgrade the application to the latest version of Micro Focus Cobol 3. Migrate the application from 32 bit to 64 bit This is what I know: Micro Focus 1. Visual COBOL installs fully only on 64-bit Windows platforms. On 32-bit Windows, the setup file does not install some of the components. Visual COBOL enables you to produce both 64-bit and 32-bit applications on 64-bit operating systems. 2. As 64-bit architecture is becoming increasingly prevalent, the consideration of moving towards producing 64-bit applications is also increasing. Many of the major operating system vendors now default to 64-bit support, and whilst still supporting the running of 32-bit applications, have sign

Hello All, I'm working on a new project with Micro Focus Cobol that needs to analyze (845 Cobol programs, 2.25 LOC). I also need to analyze dependencies outside of the Cobol code, including batch jobs, bash shell scripts and utility programs.  What would be the best tool to get this done? Thanks for your help!

Hi, We are working for Net Express to Visual Cobol Migration and currently ' Server for Cobol' is installed in the Wintel Server. Can we install  ' Cobol Server' as well in the same Wintel server or do we need to install it separately in a new server? We are looking for some solution if same server can be used  to provide the execution environment for the applications which will have Net Express components as well as for the applications which will be migrated to Visual Cobol.

I am getting this error when trying to execute my application in my dev server  Error "Execution error : file ''  error code: 244, pc=0, call=1, seg=0244      error message text not found " Is this error related to Cobol run time environment. please help.

I am calling COM object (written in C#) from COBOL. But when I try to call it, I receive this error: Exception 65540 not trapped by the class oleexceptionmanage Description: "OLE Name not found" (80020006): Unknown name. Hit T to terminate program. Hit any other key to continue. This error happens when processing invoke of method GetDate. I have generated unique GUIDs, also I have COM object signed with generated snk file. I already done this type of call, and it's working. But with this module, I am missing something. COBOL code: class-control. CharacterArray is class "chararry" OLESafeArray is class "olesafea" FileCrDat is class "$OLE$LLPFileCreateDate.FileCreateDate". .... 05 FileCrDatObj object reference. .... invoke FileCrDat "new" returning Fi

I am trying to read a simple xml file that has attributes with a stylesheet, and I need to capture the data in tags that duplicate like AddressLine. For some reason I can't capture the AddressLine data.  I am getting all the other data like Zip, State, City, Name just fine, but getting spaces for the AddressLine. Here is an example of my xml file, stylesheet and cobol program: focus3.xml (XML FILE) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <focus-address Zip="78728" State="TX" City="Austin" Name="Micro Focus" Timestamp="10544627">   <mainAddress>       <addressAll AddressLine="8310 North Capital of Tesax Highway"/>       <addressAll AddressLine="Building 1, Suite 155"/>    </mainAddress> </focus-address> XML Stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><xsl:styleshe

I have a source that has a multi line input string. When the user types the characters and he forgets something, he comes back with the keyboard then press the INS key to add the characters desired. It's possible to report the activation of the INS key on the screen ?? This need because many time the user taps the button INS but doesn't remember to re-type the button to deactivate the function ( INS ) Many thanks to all for helping

I have compiled a Cobol source file, xyz.cbl, in CodeWatch with the following Build Options set: 1. "D: Compile WITH DEBUG MODE" File Column=Yes and All Column=Yes 2. "Y: Symbol Info in Object File" File Column = Yes(2,3) and All Column=Yes(2,3) I get a clean compile, cob file is generated, and in the workspace window I see "Configured options: D Y=3" However while stepping through another program via CodeWatch debugger when I call the program above and attempt to step through it I get the notification "Program 'xyz' was not compiled with the Y=[2|3] option". Please note we're using RM Cobol 12.17. Not certain if I just compiled xyz with the wrong option set in CodeWatch or if something else is not set. Any feedback would be appreciated.#debug#WOWExtensionsDesigner#CodeWatch

Since you don't have to specify the record_number for a relative in order to insert a record it would be super great to have the ability to retrieve that record_number at the time of the insert command, instead of issuing a select max statement which could take up time once the file starts getting very large. plus the possible error from the select max since some other user might add a row to the file. currently in a cobol app we write the record and then just access the record key and we have that value. this is a quasi logging file/process that we store just raw data changes and we need to know the record_number for use in the control file that allows us to determine where to read in order to get that file change.#AcuXDBC#record_number#Relative
