On moving from Server 2008 to server 2016, what controls the initial back ground color when you run an app via wrun32.exe?  On server 2008 and background is a dark gray, on server 2016 it is now a light gray. would like to go back to the dark gray. 

I have successfully used RMNet and HTTPPost commands to complete some integrations.  I have a new integration request and this one does not use HTTPPost, they are using the REST web service and HTTPPUT and HTTPGET commands.  I can issue a HTTPGET successfully and I am connecting, etc, but the PUT is not part of RMNet.  What other workarounds can I consider for communicating via REST and PUT commands?  The POST command is denied on the end server... when I attempt it, I get a result returned that says "No protocol for POST commands."... I tried just, even though their documentation states POST commands are not allowed.  I am not sure what other options I have with AcuCobol-GT to allow me to use the PUT command.  

Hello,while using the c$copy routine to transfer a file from a client to the server the transfer stops after a few bytes have been transfered and the application just stops and waits for the transfer to end.Also using the w$progressdialog it stops at some point with a slightly filles progressbar.Does anyone know how to handle this issue?Thanks in advance!

Here is something that took me a while to figure out.  I haven't seen any questions about it but I can't be the only one who wants to see the values of the Settings.  I was trying to make sure my app.config transforms were working so I put a menu entry on my form under "Help" to show the values of the application settings.    All of the posts I found kept telling me to use the DefaultValue setting.  Finally, I wised up and first got the name of the setting, then used the name to get the value.  "MNU002" is the name of the program.  Using this, I could check that the transforms put the right values into the Debug, Test, and Release versions of my app.config, depending on the Solution Configuration in effect when I did my Rebuild.Of course, just using a Setting is as easy asdeclare Setting as type MNU002.Properties.Settingsset Setting to new type MNU002.Properties.Settingsmove Setting::AOC_ApplicationsServer to ServerNameBut I wanted to show a

Which program(s) are you using to integate your applicatons with eMail? We tried MapiLand years ago, and because it could not handle the volume if eMail that our programs generated replaced it with Redemtion which has worked very well for us except with sone Exchange servers.Regards,

We provide several applications that produce high volumns of email (paystubs, W2s, AR statements, etc. - never SPAM) by using Redemption to send the email to Outlook. It works very well except when the user is on an Exchange server and uses Outlook 365.  In that case sometimes, not always, some of the email generated by our program doesn't arrive at the Outlook Outbox. Has one else encountered this problem, and if so have you found a solution/work around?Thanks,Sal

Hi,I'm now trying for a pretty while to generate a Web Service Proxy via the imtkmake comand line tool but keep failing. My requirement is to consume a Web Service in "classic" imperative Cobol on an AIX-Plattform.I'd like to use the tool directly on AIX with Visual Cobol Dev Hub 3.0 installed, invoking it with the parameters -genclientwsdl clientwsdl=<mywsdlfile>. But all i get are two further xml files (*!!1 and *!!2) and following output:Micro Focus Interface Mapping Toolkit v3.0.00 Copyright (C) 2017 Micro Focus. All rights reserved. The runtime system failed to locate the installed SCHEMA directory. The generation of the COBOL client from WSDL failed.I've already validated my wsdl I'm using via SOAP UI as suggested by  in this Post.Searches for the stated error lead to no conclusive answers. What am I missing to sucessfully generate such a proxy? Or can't this be done with my configuration?Thanks in advance!

We installed relativity 2.2 on our test server last year but never got around to doing it on our production server and am now finding my notes dont' make sense. We were able to read our current (v12) relativity files after the update but not update them.  After discussing with someone in support, I was told I needed to create a directive file on the server.  I remember what was in the directive file but I don't have good notes on what it was named. I believe that if I had a relativity catalog named relABC that I needed to create a directive file called relABC.directive but I'm unsure.  It was because we dont use Dev Hub in our Visual Cobol setup on Linux.I cannot find anything about this directive file anywhere in the documentation.  Can someone help?  I'm trying to avoid setting up a support case. 

 I cannot see a way to do this in Visual Cobol 4.0 ( ie select fields from a database to bind to a text box or datagrid etc.  in a Form.) I know I can do this with code (I found several examples in the Knowledge Base). Is this facility supported in Form Design?. If not are there any plans to do so?. The majority of my work involves database processing via Windows or Web Forms and to have to program this for every form would be a lot of  repetitive work. Thanks for the help   Charlie

Listview works very fine to display a list. Is there also a procedure to modify/capture directly one field within the List? I think about something similar to a spreadsheet where you can modify directly the contents of one cell and not the whole row. In the lviewctl appear lots of  DB-Call-Function, but no one to fill only one field (cell) of the whole list. Any help?  I want to Change only the marked cell.  Or is the only solutiuon copy the whole row to individual entry fields? Thanks for any help.

I installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional v15.9.7 on Windows 10 v1803, and then Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2017 v4.0 followed by Patch Update #6.  Today notifications within Visual Studio is telling me that v15.9.8 is available.  Do I just download and apply it, or is there anything special or extra that I must do because of the presence of Visual COBOL?

We have recently upgraded our SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014. To support that, we have also upgraded the AcuGT runtime and Acu4GL from v8.1.1 to v10.2 accordingly. However, the program returns "File Status code 9D, 8152 - String or binary data would be truncated." error after upgraded to v10.2. After investigation, we found there is a column of a table which data length (Char(10)) is shorter than the definition defined in FD (Char(15)). This program did not return any error in Acu4GL v8.1.1 when FD and data length of column are not match if we would not update more than 10 characters in this column. But in v10.2, it will return error once we update data to the table. To solve this problem, we need to extend the column data length match with FD. But the problem is we don't know how many columns are not match with FD because we have more than a hundred tables in our system and we do not aware this is a problem in v8.1.1 before. Thus my question is, does Acu4GL has any configuratio

Hey, Sry for my bad English I want to know, if i have a PDF and want to be print it with the WIN$PRINTER routine? But i found no way to set the file path into the routine. Which is the command for this or have someone a god example for this?   Thx Mittim.

I've got Visual COBOL 3.0 for Visual Studio 2017.  In theory, would it be possible to program in Visual COBOL something like that shown in the attached YouTube (which was programmed in C ).  Yes, I want to do it in COBOL, just because.  Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated. 

To whom it may concern, I have just installed the ACUCOBOL runtime version 7.2 for linux on my machine and it does the following when I run a program:   I type the following command: runcbl test1.acu ...and it gives me the following: Missing required termcap function 'cm' in entry for 'linux'   I installed the a_termcap file in the /etc directory and set the A_TERM and TERM variables to linux in my /etc/profile file, but to no avail. I need to know how to fix this issue because I tried different things and it doesn't work. I also tried suppressing terminal initialization by typing in runcbl -b test1.acu and it gave me a memory access violation error as well.   Jack S.#AcuCobol

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question but the COBOL forum does not seem to be active. If I want to write OO COBOL programs (not .NET programs) is there an OO Standard to which MF compilers adhere? I have an old copy of MF Object COBOL (32 bit) and also Visual COBOL PE, which, I presume, supports OO programming. To what extent do MF compliers such as the two mentioned adhere to any standard and/or provide extensions to the standard? Thanks Paul
