Have a project where need to re-write a datafile but with a slightly different primary key value? Does someone have a working example?  Thanks in advance. I do have the original FD and structure. Field in file is pic 9(8) but was being used by program as pic 9(5) hence numbers were stored as "12345   " but now need to be reformatted as "00012345". Thanks

In our dockerbuild file, we are installing the visual cobol setup for docker and installing the license.# installing Cobol Devhub and LicenseRUN /opt/DevHub/setup_visualcobol_devhub_for_docker_8.0_redhat_x64 -IacceptEULARUN /var/microfocuslicensing/bin/MFLicenseAdmin -install /opt/Licenses/VC1_Visual_COBOL_Linux_Docker.mflic As root , it is able to run cob -u.  But when we switch to another user ,  we are getting a no license error.This container used to work on a RHEL7 host, but when we moved the container to a RHEL8 host, that is where we started getting the license error.------------------------------Aldous CarlosRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

How can I install NetExpress 5.1 on Windows 11?  When I try I get an error message "Error 2878.  On the dialog PreReqs the control PreReqList has a possible value:  Either Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later, Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later, Microsoft Windows 2003 Ser ..." Do I need a new version of the software - and if so where do I get it from?  Or is there a way of cheating the system by copying a few files from an XP or Windows 7 PC onto the Windows 11 PC? I am assuming it is possible to run NetExpress 5.1 development IDE on Windows 11?

I was at a breakpoint in my managed code program and I was looking at the properties listed for a menu strip.  One of them was "DisplayedItems" with a heart shaped icon beside it.  It is a collection and I can see the items in the collection at the breakpoint.  I would very much like to use the information in this collection in my program but that property is not available to my program.  Why not?  If my menu strip is too wide to see in my window, I would like to increase the width of my window.  This collection would tell me if any of the menu items are not displayed.  ------------------------------Lee RobinsonSoftware Development ManagerNew Hampshire Admin Office of the CourtsConcord NH US------------------------------

Has anyone used Microsoft Print to PDF to generate PDF's dynamically?  For example, our application produces a text file from which we want to create a PDF.  Using C#, the following could be used: PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Microsoft Print to PDF";PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = true;PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = "pdf_filename"; However, I'm having difficulty generating a def file for the System.Drawing and System.Drawing.Common dll's. ------------------------------Ken SchwartzSenior Engineer, DevelopmentSouthware Innovations, IncOpelika US------------------------------

I am a 35+ year COBOL programmer and I would like to create some programs for personal use at home.    I have tried other languages but I am most comfortable with COBOL.    How can I get a copy of VCPE?   Looks like every one I find on the Internet is for retired versions of Studio.

We are working with a 3rd party and they will need to get data to the repository on a regular basis.  The third party uses an AWS storage solution, S3, which uses an access key-pair to access. We are currently on version 5.0 of Visual Cobol - does that version handle something like this, or would we have to upgrade to 10 first?  Would we maybe have to write it in something like .net?------------------------------Amy McDonoughSenior Software DeveloperN.

Hi, I've got something like this in my .pco file : EXEC SQL   SELECT TO_CHAR(CAST(RTRIM(Varchar2_11_char_Column) AS DECIMAL(10,2)), 'S9999999D99') from table INTO :hostvar_x_11 END-EXEC. I get compiler error COBCH0803 : 000576:PLS-103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following: . ) , @ % defaultsymbol The symbol ")" was substituted for "(" to continue. It compiles fine with the TO_CHAR and RTRIM but when I add the CAST, it won't compile anymore.Should this work? Any ideas anyone?

You'll find it here: cs2cobol.rocketsoftware.com If you did a double take at that and are wondering why you might need such a tool, let me explain... Visual COBOL allows you to compile applications directly to .NET bytecode - or even JVM bytecode - opening up a world of possibilities for integrating COBOL with these platforms and other languages. It's not just Java or C# developers who get to enjoy these ecosystems; Visual COBOL developers can tap into their libraries and functionality too. That's where this tool comes in. If you come across a snippet of C# code online and wonder how to express it in COBOL, the C# to COBOL Converter will help bridge the gap. Give it a try!

To determine and qualify a database driver and to make sure it works well with Visual COBOL, is there a specific set of COBOL examples available that cover various scenarios? If yes, could you please point out the link or way to access it.  ------------------------------Kayalvizhi GanesanUnisys Corporation------------------------------

tengo el siguiente problema. Una aplicación desarrollada con NetExpress  que accede a una BD en SQL Server utilizando una conexión ODBC a través del SQL Server Native Client 11.0, y en Win10, accede sin problemas y no da error, y ejecuta las SELECT, sin ningún problema. Mientras que en otro PC con Win11 Versión 24H2, la misma aplicación,  y configurado el mismo acceso ODBC y la misma BD, la conexión a la misma la ejecuta correctamente, pero cuando el proceso ejecuta la primera sentencia SELECT, devuelve un SQL Code error -208.             EXEC SQL                   SELECT E.[nombre_em], E.[clave_em],                          E.[bd_em], E.niedi_em, E.pobl_em                   INTO :QNOMBRE-EM, :QCLAVE-EM, :QBD-EM ,:QNIEDI-EM,                        :QPOBL-EM                   FROM [tbEmpresas] E                   WHERE  E.[Cod_em] = :QCOD-EM           END-EXEC Cual puede ser el problema

Hello,  I'm converting an application from an equipment supplier, and he provided me with a C# source. I tried to convert from C# to Cobol, using the "OpenText C# to Micro Focus Visual Cobol Translator" tool, but it is giving me an erro in one of the parts.
