I am trying to display a label control with the date field 07/23/19 but I instead get 72319 (I do not want the use to pick a date just simply to display a date to the user).  I believe there is a way to mask controls in windows form in order to get date fields and phone numbers but I am unsure as to the specific syntax for achieving this. I have attempted the following: set lbl-DATE::Text type MaskedTextBox:: This line of code, however, is either incorrect or incomplete.

The links eventually guide me to download vcvs2019_50.exe but it demains VS 2019 which I do not have. 

If I compile cobol programs in gnt format on windows server 2012 can I deploy this gnt in Cobol Server on Windows 2016?thanksbye

Are there a directive allowing this?

I'm trying to develop a project where a main program (say MAINCBL) accepts options and then CALLs sub programs. I created a MAINCBL solution and then added SUBPROG to the solution.MAINCBL works fine but when I call SUBPROG I get an error message: 'Called program file not found in drive/directory: SUBPROG'.  Both MAINCBL.EXE and SUBPROG.EXE are in my \\bin\\x86\\Debug directory so I'm at a loss to know what's wrong.I changed the Application properties to Output to: Multiple Executables (not sure if this correct so please correct me if not.)Thanks

The following article:/cobol/visualcobol/w/wikiid-120/34260/visual-cobol-for-visual-studio---solutions-projects-and-the-cobol-call-statement---nativehas an attachment which will not download.  When I click on the download link, I get the following message:

Is there a command to detect whether the Caps lock, Num lock, or the Insert key are on in managed COBOL? The command in C# is something like: if (Control.IsKeyLocked(Keys.CapsLock))    do somethingend if. The following command in managed COBOL only detect whether the keys were pressed but does not detect whether the caps lock is on: if e::KeyCode = type Keys::CapsLock    do somethingend-if.

I would like to create a base windows form with functionalities that all application forms needed and then inherits from it. This is available from VB or C# (in design mode) but I am not able to figure out how to do it in Visual Cobol so I can use the inherited form in design mode. Can someone help? Thanks!

We will be upgrading to a new server running Windows Server 2019, will there be any issue installing CS_23 on the new server? Thanks!

Problem   When trying to debug a program remotely using anim in a PuTTY terminal emulator, the X Terminal window doesn't pop up with the animator.   Solution   The problem is, PuTTY doesn't have X Terminal built in to it, MobaXterm does, so one solution would be to use MobaXterm. However, PuTTY can be configured to enable X Terminal. You can test if X Terminal is working by using the xeyes command. A small window with a pair of eyes pops up with pupils that follow the mouse cursor. If these eyes do not pop up, then X Terminal has not been configured for X Terminal. To configure PuTTY for X Terminal: Start PuTTY In the PuTTY configuration left panel click Connection->SSH->X11 In the right panel tick the 'Enable X11 forwarding' box and enter :0.0 in the 'X display location' box. Back in the left panel click on Session and sign on as usual. Once signed on enter the xeyes command to ensure X Terminal is working.      

 We are running 10.2 64 bit. We have a routine that uses the c@system command and we issue a "del" command and it does not work. It returns and exit code of 0 but the file is still there.  We also issue an "ren" command afterward. This routine works just fine on 10.264 bit on server 2008.#CSYSTEM#AcuCobol

Hi everyone, I work at an MSP in their support department, one of our clients has a line of business application that uses AcuCobolGT. There is a module in this application that prints an image of a check, after migrating them to a new server this feature causes an application crash. The vendor of the application refuses to look at it. stating that it's not the wrun32.exe causing the issue, but rather mshtml.dllI am hoping someone here can provide more insight into this than the vendor and maybe tell me which file is likely casuing the issueThanksEnvironment DetailsWindows Server 2016 Standardwrun32.exe version - Au Windows 10 - 10.001.014Here is a copy of the event logFaulting application name: wrun32.exe, version: 10000.1000.1.3902, time stamp: 0x56e081bbFaulting module name: MSHTML.dll, version: 11.0.14393.3053, time stamp: 0x5d01d3abException code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x00aa911fFaulting process id: 0x5748Faulting application start time: 0x01d543e85a8b7e2fFaulting applicatio

I'm testing AcuToWeb and I'm experiencing some problems.Is there a list of already known problems (and how to fix them) or constructs to avoid ?

Is it possible to show more than one (up to 3) bitmap in one grid cell ?

Is there any way to use acuthin to transfer files between the local machine and the host/server?  That is, a utility...I know I could write a small program to do so.  It is for when FTP, RDP, etc are unavailable.  thanks

Work on a enterprise modified version of SLES11.4 (64-bit with enough 32-bit 'stuff' to allow 32-bit applications to run).  Am trying to upgrade the Oracle client from 11c to 12g.  The application is a 32-bit application.  I have the 32-bit Oracle client software installed.   When I run the makefile provided by the vendor to build the custom RTE, the process dies with an error stating that 'fstat' is a hidden object.  The system has the proper libc.so file to make 'fstat' (and a bunch of other stuff) visable.After using strace, I have noticed that 'make' is trying to use the 64-bit linker.  I don't know if this is the source of the problem, or a result of the real problem.   All efforts to force 'make' to use the 32-bit linker result in 'cob' blowing up with an 'invalid option' error (the invalid option is -m from -m32).If Blair McDonald  (@Blair) is available, he would know wh

In a managed COBOL program, I am using DateTime to insert time stamps, but I don't want the time format of HH:MM:SS AM; I want it in military time format with no AM or PM.  I have not been able to find out how to do this on the site.#datetime24hoursmilitarytime

I have declared in the working storage of my Windows form a numeric variable as follows:01 tmp-Num pic 9(10) I am trying to move the text from a text control to a numeric field variable a follows:   Set tmp-Num  to txt_CLNT-NAME-SELECT::Text. But I received a “cannot implicitly convert string to binary-doubled unsigned”. I type a 10 numeric digit in the txt_CLNT-NAME-SELECT but my form, it seems, is defining it as alphabetic characters. I only want numeric fields to be typed into the  txt_CLNT-NAME-SELECT::Text because I need to do calculation with it.

When I add an icon to a form in managed cobol. I'm getting a MissingManifestResourceException exception. It said 'Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "AppForm.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.'. Not sure how to embed or link the icon resource into the assemblies and make it loadable. Can someone help? Thanks! Sammy

I currently have the following array declared in my Windows Formclass-id TPS000.TPS0010DForm is partial                inherits type System.Windows.Forms.Form.       working-storage section.       01 multi-line string property occurs 12. The index for this array starts as (0) as follows:     (0) = 1st Element      (1) = 2nd Element      (2) = 3rd ElementEtc………Is there any way of forcing the index to start at 1 so that the elements are stored as follows:     (1) = 1st Element     (2) = 2nd Element     (3)= 3rd ElementEtc…Initializing the first index to 1 will make my program easier to code and to debug later on.

HiI have a customer that have 100 printer and it is very long to load the first that the runtime load the printer (30 sec) his there a way to load only the printer that the user need?I hope someone have a solution!Thank you  

Hi,I have completed a proof of concept task involving building Procedural COBOL as managed code and creating a COBOLjvm wrapper that binds/unbinds the DB connection and calls the now managed procedural COBOL.Having completed a Java test harness to call the wrapper successfully I now want to integrate the wrapper into our Java application and use the RunUnit class as it's a multi-user application deployed on a application server.Looking at the documentation and forum postings it seems you use either add/getInstance or call methods of RunUnit. The docs mainly refer to using SmartLinkage so any tips to the recommended approach when using a wrapper class would be much appreciated. I had thought of adding the wrapper to the RunUnit.
