Hi, what stable versions of Informix ODBC do these products support:Net Express 5.0Net Express 5.1Visual Cobol 6.0Which version of Cobol supports version IBM Informix ODBC Driver, Version 4.10?Is there a table of MF products and recommended ODBC drivers versions?ThankPetr  

Background: Animating LARGE coredumps with Visual Cobol is very slow (compared to Server Express). The two new animator options FASTLOAD and FASTEXIT have brought some improvements, but it is still 5 times slower than before.Tests have shown, that canceling unnecessary subroutines (those not in the call stack) will solve the problem. animator got blazingly fast. But while I can easily find out, which subroutines are in the call stack (by using CBL_GET_PROGRAM_INFO) I don't know, how to get the loaded subroutines Only idea for know: cancel every module in COBPATH.

Is it possible to get a Linux runtime for the .int files compiled as above, either new or used.This is an Object Cobol Runtime not Net Express.

Symptoms The Micro Focus Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF) can be very useful in capturing information about what's happening within the various components of the COBOL Runtime system, and your application. In some cases, you may find that the generated CTF trace file seems incomplete, and only shows the last portion of the expected information.    Diagnosis This can happen when the traced application is using multiple languages, processes or threads, which are each trying to write to the CTF trace file. (One example of this might be an application that uses both the Native and .NET COBOL Runtimes.)   Solution To avoid this issue, you can add the MULTIPROC emitter property to the specified CTF settings. For example: If requesting a binary CTF trace file:mftrace.emitter.binfile#multiproc=true   If requesting a text CTF trace file:mftrace.emitter.textfile#multiproc=true   Additional Information For more information about CTF Tracing, this Micro Focus Kn

Can I install VC6.0 on a machine with VC4.0 without a problem?

I just received my 30-trial download of Visual COBOL on 7/9/20 but have yet to download.  When does the 30-day clock start clicking?  Reason for asking is that I will vacation 7/18/20 - 8/2/20.  Is it wise to wait until I return to download the trial Visual COBOL?   Thank you.

Using Visual Studio 2019 CE and Visual COBOL PE.I have a series of programs which compile without errors. After a short break I fired up the project in VC and  was confronted with this error message:''The "MicroFocus.Cobol.BuildTasks.AssignSourceTargetPaths" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\MSBuild\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\v1.0\\MicroFocus.COBOL.BuildTasks.dll.

Can anyone out there help me with Database Connectors, and the IDXFORMAT?I have a question about the $SET IDXFORMAT command that I place before my select statement.I know that "21" is for an Indexed file, and that "18" is for the SQL Indexed file, but are their any IDXFORMATS for sequential files or Sort files that won't be in the SQL db?Not all of our files will be stored in the Database (especially if we can't store sequential files), and I was also wondering if ALL of my files in my COBOL program need to have the $SET IDXFORMAT command so the database connector knows what kind of file it is??Can sequential files be written and processed by SQL?Also, does anyone know of some training videos or something I can read besides the MicroFocus documentation? Thanks!

I'm running Visual Studio 2019  with VC 5 PE. The license on VC 5 has just expired.Do I have to re-license VC 5 PE or wait until VC 6 PE is available? When will VC 6 PE be available?Thanks

Problem The environment variables for CTF Tracing and Database Connectors are set as System Environment variables, and the generated CTF Trace file does not show the detailed Database Connectors information. Solution The issue could not be reproduced with the MFTRACE_CONFIG and A_CONFIG environment variables set from the system level. Although these environment variables can be set from the system or project level, it is recommend to set MFTRACE_CONFIG from the project level in the Visual Studio IDE. Setting this environment variable from the system level causes devenv.exe (Visual Studio IDE) and msbuild.exe to be traced as well, which may cause a performance issue depending of the size of the projects.

When you get license invoice details for ACucobol that provides the Product Code and License type,,, do you also see a "License Type"?  If so what sort of values do you see in here?Is this supposed to identify the License options "Named Users", "Concurrent users" or "Server (CPU)". If not where else can you determine these options? jim      

I'm new to Visual Cobol 6.0 and I'm searching for the Panels demo project. I've looked everywhere on my Windows 10 machine looking for panelex1.cbl, etc. Do these exists somewhere I've not looked? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
