Hello MicroFocus Team, My requirement is to create XML file using Acu cobol program along with ws-variable3 values.  (Note:  ws-variable3 has xml tags values.) But, below logic does not work. Any clue please urgently?XML EXPORT TEXTws-variable3response-payloadresponse-len"ws-variable3".if not XML-OK go to z.

I downloaded the free version of personal visual cobol from CNET.  When I attempt to open an example project (or any other) the Visual Studio tells me I need an authorization code.  This was a download directly from CNET. I didn't get an authorization code on a package and I didn't get one in an email as I didn't have to provide an email address to CNET. I called support and they told me to come here.  When I try to use online support I need an authorization code to get to them. This is a conundrum of a sort. Can anybody tell me how to  obtain an authorization code?  Also, is this a temporary authorization or is it permanent for the personal edition?#VisualCOBOLautoscalemodescreenresolution

We are running a simplish Acu9.2 database, and one of our clients has a large database with about 1 million entries. The files are split since they're so big. Since upgrading to Server 2019 we have noticed a strange performance behaviour that's completely reproducible.If we run REPORTA which goes through all the data and pulls out certain records, on the first run after reboot/login it takes in excess of 1 hour. If I then run the same report again it's over 10 times faster. If we run REPORTA , on the first run after after login it takes an hour then I logout and into our application again, and run the same report but with different parameters, it's also 10 times faster ie. about 6 minutes.  I can see it scrolling through the records much faster.What's going on here, and can I make it faster on the first run? I know I should be upgrading to Acu 10 and rekeying the database, but let's assume that's all impossible It looks like some kind of OS ca

Hi everyone.I've got an odd problem, but it's intermittent.  I made a bunch of changes a while back, one of which was adding "bind to thread" to all my windows (they should all be bound to the same thread).  Before that, this problem did not happen.Situation.  Have one floating window.  Start a 2nd floating window.  Type info into that 2nd window.  Hit the key which triggers the program to close that window.   I keep typing, wanting to fill in the fields in that first window that I just told the program to make active again.  Sometimes, the first few keys I type "disappear" only to show up later when I create another floating window.Anyone know what this is?Is it related to "bind to thread"?Any idea how to handle this?(I've tried adding a little "buffering" routine to read all characters that are available according to "ACCEPT FROM INPUT STATUS" and save them in a buffer before closing the window.  No change in behavior, the characters

Is it possible to get an environment variable of the windows client  (for example %systemroot%) using Thinclient without redirecting the output under windows and then opening and reading the output file under linux (our host operating system) ?

I have a full license for Visual Cobol 5.0 update 2 running in Visual Studio 2019 with all of the latest updates.I am working through the Visual Cobol for Visual Studio Essentials online course and am to the section "Using the Open ESQL Assistant". I've confirmed in the Tools Options that the mode is ODBC.When I select View -> Micro Focus SQL Tools -> OpenESQL Assistant, a new tab opens, but I don't see the window like in the tutorial.  It is simply blank.I've rebooted several times, but the same result.  I am running Windows 10 (1903).Does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?Thank you.

There is a post in the Cobol Forum regarding executing Unix commands from within a Cobol program using CALL "SYSTEM".....

VC for VS 2017 patch 10 on Windows 10, managed COBOL.When the I-O-CONTROL paragraph contains two (2) SAME RECORD AREA clauses:        SAME RECORD AREA FOR FILE1-1, FILE1-2, FILE1-3.        SAME RECORD AREA FOR FILE2-1, FILE2-2, FILE2-3.and        OPEN INPUT FILE1-1, FILE2-1 OUTPUT FILE1-2, FILE1-3, FILE2-2, FILE2-3.and        READ FILE1-1 NEXT RECORD.        READ FILE2-1 NEXT RECORD.then the FD record areas for FILE1-2 and FILE1-3 have the same data as FILE1-1 and the FD record areas for FILE2-2 and FILE2-3 have the same data as FILE2-1.  This is the expected behavior.HOWEVER,When the I-O-CONTROL paragraph contains THREE (3)  SAME RECORD AREA clauses:        SAME RECORD AREA FOR FILE1-1, FILE1-2, FILE1-3.        SAME RECORD AREA FOR FILE2-1, FILE2-2, FILE2-3.        SAME RECORD A

Problem: When trying to run a Server Express development utility, for example the COBOL compiler, the Animator, or the SDE, the following error message appears: Micro Focus LMF - 010: Unable to contact license manager. Resolution: The License Manager is a daemon process that usually runs in the background without requiring manual intervention. The process is named "mflm_manager" (visible in "ps -ef" output). Also, the License Manager creates and uses a named pipe on disk. This is named "LMF-common", and is usually located in /tmp (though its location is configurable). The most common reason for the error message "LMF - 010: Unable to contact license manager" is that the License Manager is not running, and the solution is to re-start the License Manager. 1) Login as root 2) Change directories (cd) to the directory where the License Management Facility (LMF) is installed. This is /opt/microfocus/mflmf by default (or /opt/lib/mflmf or /usr/lib/mflm

Hello there ! I am  evaluating this product for , but have 2 problems   :- impossible to handle JCL objects (not recognized) : no possibility to imports files with *.jcl extenstion, *.jcl extension not recongnized when creating a workspace using Template, no workaround possible using the CA Administration (for example : descibing the application as 100% Mainframe Legacy) etc ….. did I missed something ?- if I have shell scripts that "Run" a Cobol Program or Simply "refers to" a Source Program (in comments for instance) : how do i create this Relationship in a Scope (for Diagramer) ?      For shells, the Relationships available are "Runs System Programs" (it works fine but only for RM and CP shell  commands … no other commands handeling ?) …. and "Runs Program Entry Point"  (so question is : how do you run a Cobol Program Entry Point from shell ? what il the syntax recognized by Analyzer ? ).Final question :

Are there any issues with running binaries compiled in Visual Studio for Visual Cobol 3.0.* under COBOL Server 5.0.* ?

I am developing in Visual COBOL 3.0 for Eclipse. I create simple Cobol programs that I compile to Java (jar-file) and use as a library in my application. I have no problem running with Oracle's JRE, but the program seem to freeze when I run it with Open JDK 8 (JRE downloaded from https://adoptopenjdk.net/).I run my application with this command line:java -Djava.library.path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\bin64" -jar <my jar>Should I be able to run under OpenJDK? Do I need to compile the library differently?
