We are attempting a migration from HP-UX acucobol version 6.2.0.1 to RHEL Acucobol version 10.3.0.We attempt to run the command:dtconnect.pl prod X78B063 jsc.req jsc.rspUsing:CALL "C$SYSTEM" USING SYSTEM-COMMAND GIVING ERR-RETURN.It returns 255. If I invoke the shell in the debugger, the above command works and returns zero. This is an evaluation copy if that matters.Any ideas?Thanks!!!__John

Hi All,Hope you are well.When importing Visual COBOL Remote Projects (from Linux Platform), is there a way to filter (remote directories and/or files extensions) when the remote initial directory contains a lot of files?Thanks in advance.Franck.

Problem Although the installed version of Internet Explorer is higher than version 9, the MFSupportInfo utility reports it as 9.11.9600.19596 Solution MFSupportInfo is no longer maintained in the Net Express product, so this information can be ignored. The utility is actually reading the information from a registry key that Microsoft no longer updates, and this is because Internet Explorer is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Using a netexpress screen, we have a listbox that users may click entries from by clicking an X next to them.  However, the list display  is very long and always returns to the top of the list once they have clicked the entry, rather than staying where that  last selection was made.

We are evaluating a possibility of migrating customer database from ORACLE to POSTGRESQLCustomer is using Visual Cobol - PROCobol  (Not only (also  java, .NET) -  but we have around 100000 lines of COBOL).Is it practicable (reasonable) to migrate it from Oracle ProCOBOL to OpenESQL POSTGRES? Has anyone tried it, also with other databases?Any hints?

Need help\\documentation on how to add a program to services.This would automatically start when the server gets rebooted. Need the command line or how to submit it to services via task manager? Can a cobol program handle this or????

with openEsql assistant it is possible to convert SQL Pictures clauses in Cobol Syntax.SQL_Name nchar(40) not null --> SQL-Name     pic x(40).Is the reverse way also possible?Who know from a tool that haven this functionality?for one data record, this can be done manually, but by more than 100 file-records, this may be helpfullThanks 

Hello VC Forum,in my current project we have to generate JSON from from a COBOL structure which looks like01 jsonStructure. 05 array1Count pic 9. 05 array2Count pic 9. 05 array1 occurs 1 to 5 depending on array1Count. 05 array2 occurs 1 to 5 depending on array2count. 10 subarrayCount pic 9. 10 subarray occurs 1 to 5 depending on subarrayCount.Unfortunately VC compiler produce on the part "subarray" an error:without ODOSLIDE directive: COBCH0144S OCCURS DEPENDING subsidiary to OCCURS only allowed with ODOSLIDEwith ODOSLIDE directive: COBCH0245S DEPENDING ON item subarrayCount missing or illegal.It is maybe possible, to use fix occurs structures, but then we get problems with the called service because of empty elements generated by JSON GENERATE.Does someone have the same problem? Is there any possibility to use dynamic occurs structures with JSON GENERATE or to avoid the generation of empty elements by fix occurs?ThanksAndreas#J

I have a COBOL program for internal use that sends emails to multiple addresses.Does COBOL have a method to check the addresses one by one and return a status? If not, will this method work in COBOL?https://www.interserver.net/tips/kb/check-email-address-really-exists-without-sending-email/ 

After a clean compile of the MF sample program AIRCODE.CBL, I got this statement from the 'OUTPUT';------ Build started ------C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\MSBuild\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\v1.0\\MicroFocus.COBOL.CurrentVersion.targets(364,9): error : MSBMF002 - An internal error occurred.

Hi,my (maybe 25 years old) Copy starts with01 L-VD-Daten sign leading separate.02 MOVE-LVDDATEN.03 Gesamt.05 VNR PIC S9(8)....Trying to compile it in Visual Cobol 5 CobolCopyBook-Project/COBOL-JVM-Poject I am getting 'COBCH0217S Preceding item at this level has zero length' .Is there maybe any directive to avoid this ?Sincerely,Herbert 

I would like to write in SQLite with AcuCobol 9.2.5 and use sqlite3.dll. Is it possible and when yes, where can I find an example?Thank you in advance.Werner

I just got Visual COBOL 5.0 Yesterday, and installed it.  Then I went to install the COBOL Server for windows, and received an error that I cannot install that until Visual COBOL 2017 has been uninstalled.So, I went and uninstalled Visual COBOL - and I am still getting the same error.Windows doesn't show Visual COBOL as an installed program any more, so I don't know where it is finding it.I have attached my log file.  

on mssql tool the database is created, with visual Cobol not, i become mssql-error-code -102 or -226What is wrong?Please see the Notepad document in attachment to create tables is not the Problem! create DATABASE    

Who had programming EDIFACT as Orders, Invoices or DESADV and can publish a Cobol source code?Thanks

We have a program running on COBOL Server 3.0. We read from and write to data files. At some customer locations we install COBOL Server on several PCs. Data files will typically be located on one PC and shared using Windows 10 network file sharing. The other PCs running COBOL Server, on the same network, will access the data files on a mapped network drive.Performance is usually acceptable, but at some locations response times increase drastically. A procedure that takes <2 secs on one setup may take >45 secs on another. I looked at the network traffic on one such troublesome location as I ran the procedure. The network traffic on the PC with the data file was at Send: 2Mbps , Receive: 1Mbps while the other PC was waiting for data (for about 50 secs). Running the same procedure on my own network, with the same data, there is hardly any network activity on the PC with the data files, and the procedure is done in about 1 second.(This may of course be down to network and computer p

Many People have Problems to start new Projects with the new possibility, having use in the past Dialog System Screens with Netexpress and continue with VC5.xWho has developped new forms wicht vs2017/2019 working with VC5.x and sales this for there use!By respecting the 4 parts by developpment:- grafical Screen Interface (VS, html, other?)- program logic/Dialog (managed or unmanaged Cobol)- database interface (not isam, mssql, Oracle, db2, mysql or other)- grafical printing Interface (with Combit List&Laber or other performant Tools)My only Problem is the new grafical Screen Interface and will not make many Errors and can give my experience by the 3 others Programm parts!Who know where to buy grafical Screens?I mean MF must do more and give us more professional examples!Or must we create a Startup?

I need to gather certain counties (that will vary, depending on various other data and so cannot be predefined) and put them in a dropdown, so one may later be selected by the user. Is there now a way to do this?Thanks.

Windows 10 updates on client machines (no rhyme or reason as to which version or build of Windows 10 this occurs in are removing the comdlg32.ocx activeX file from the Windows system directory (Syswow64 on 64 bit systems) . To fix this, we need to gain admin access to the workstation – run an elevated command prompt and re-register the comdlg32.ocx after placing a copy of it back in the system folder.Anyone know of a replacement I can use in RMCOBOL-WOW instead of the comdlg32.ocx?
