Hi,our client uses Visual Cobol 2.3 and Cobol Server (runtime) 2.3.Now it wants install a MS 2019 Server, and we find that Cobol Server 2.3 (runtime) is not supported on Windows 2019.It's possible to develope under VisualCobol 2.3 and deploy under Cobol Server 5.0 (runtime), for example?

I am doing evaluation to see if Micro Focus Visual COBOL for Visual Studio can be used to replace the native COBOL development using IBM TSO environment within my company.I had download a trial version of Visual COBOL for Visual Studio (2019 version), and watched the six Webinar videos on OOP in the Micro Focus resource link. I managed to use the same test data on my desktop with no issues.I am sure the questions that I have in mind had been asked by someone else before, it will be much appreciated if someone out there can direct me to some previous Q&A links related to my questions.Most of the COBOL programs my company use are for BATCH process: These programs are developed using IBM TSO environment, and some had been in use for decades; they are run on predefined schedules on IBM Mainframe computers; they use lots of INPUT and OUTPUT files; they access to IBM DB2 relational database for all sort of data manipulations.My questions are:Can Visual COBOL for Visual Studio create exec

Does anyone know of a way to retrieve the record length in a Cobol program (Windows)?

I have an entry box, which I use to create a search and put the results in a selection box.  For instance, user may type in 'EX' and get all of the listings that have that combo.I want the users to be able to search for more than one combo, if they like, but I cannot get the selection box to clear.  I have tried initializing the table in cobol,  using delete-list-item, initializing in the dialog etc,  but the earlier entries won't go away. Below is an example with delete-occurrence.  There must be something simple I am overlooking.  Thx.CLEAR-LOOP  DELETE-OCCURRENCE ACCOUNT-GROUP $REGISTER  DECREMENT ACCOUNT-COUNT  DECREMENT $REGISTER  REFRESH-OBJECT SB-ACCOUNT  IF= $REGISTER 0 EXIT-CLEAR-LOOP  BRANCH-TO-PROCEDURE CLEAR-LOOPEXIT-CLEAR-LOOP #selectionbox#clear#reset

PROBLEM When running a COBOL program on the server, while connected via RDP, the style of the title bar of the COBOL program can change and then the minimize button will stop working.   SOLUTION This is caused because of the combination of using the RDP connection and having WIN32-NATIVECTLS disabled (set to FALSE).   There are 2 solutions: In the runtime configuration file set the following variable: WIN32-NATIVECTLS TRUE   Instead of connecting to the server via RDP and then running the COBOL program, run the program remotely using AcuConnect Thin Client. More information about AcuConnect Thin Client can be found here - https://www.microfocus.com/media/data-sheet/acuconnect_ds.pdf #HowTo#Information#TipfromSupport

Exactly how do compile listings get generated under NetExpress 5.1?

Good Morning I have the following problem: I have a server with W10 and my programs installed on it (runcobol v.11, 5 users). I have 2 more computers with w10. if I run the query from one of the network computers, everything is fine. But if I run the same query on both workstations, the second computer that runs it slows down tremendously.I have verified that the problem is that the 2 computers access the same file that has been opened.  I have removed firewall and antivirus and it does not fix the problem. What I can do?
