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.

Hi,We are trying to use OpenESQL with an Oracle ODBC 32-bit DSN in our managed code.Connecting to the ODBC DSN is working fine in both Visual Studio Server Explorer and ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit).   However, I am not able to get it working with my managed Cobol program.What are the steps that need to be done in order  to use OpenESQL for an Oracle ODBC DSN connection?We have been using ProCobol in native code and just started to explore managed code using Winforms. Thanks!

I'm not sure whether this should be posted here as it's hardware related. Anyway, I've been experimenting with the use of function keys in native COBOL using examples in MF documentation. However the keys are not recognised by the program. When I input one of the defined keys I get the message: "That keystroke has no meaning here".I'm using a Dell XPS 15 which has dual-function F keys, and choosing whether to use F Keys as function keys (F1 ... F12) or for their alternative use is decided by holding down a special key on the keyboard. Now this has not worked - I've been into the BIOS and tried the alternatives to try and get it working but to no avail. As I say, it's probably a hardware problem but I wondered if MF had come across this problem and, if so, whether a solution was found.For info the example I have used is shown in https://supportline.microfocus.com/documentation/books/nx30books/ciadis.htm and section 2.6.5.1.Thanks for any feedback.

I am trying to specify the X and Y coordinates on my form and though I realize I can do this on the form’s property’s window, I would like to be able to do this in the program. I have the following code when the form loads:       method-id Form1_Load final private.       procedure division using by value sender as object e as type System.EventArgs.          set self::Location::X to '690'.         set self::Location::Y to '255'.        end method. This does not appear to work and I do not know why. The X and Y coordinates get reverted to some kind of default value. And this happens even if I specify the coordinates in the property’s window.  

Is there a way to display a form for about 5 seconds and then return to the program? What I am basically trying to do is to display a background form and then display another form on top of it (I do not wish to hide the background form until the user triggers an event on the second form). I therefore want to invoke the second from within my background form without closing or hiding the background form. I did this once with a Visual Basic form as follows:System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(5000) But I do not know if there is anything remotely similar in Managed COBOL.
