Hi, Currently I am using NetExpress 5.1 under Windows 7 and able to compile and debug cobol programs successfully in the project work. Now I got a new laptop with Windows 10 and i installed NetExpress 5.1 (automatically it installs 32 bit) and Wrappack 10 in Windows 10 machine.I am able to compile the cobol programs successfully. But when i start to debug it by using my test run in windows 10, the main program is not popping out (displayed) in the Net Express screen for debugging but the programs runs successfully in the background and output is looking fine. I am not sure why the main cobol program is not invoked through the debugger ?But the same test run is running as expected in Windows 7 machine and i am able to debug the main program successfully. Could any one help me regarding my question or give some light where can i find the error or info, why the program is not invoked in the debugger? Note: 1) I am aware that Netexpress 5.1 is not compatible with Windows 10, but reading th

Visual Studio 2013, Visual COBOL 2.2 Please confirm as to whether this is expected or default VS behavior or not. Assume a Native solution with two projects and a Managed solution with two projects It appears that Visual Studio behaves differently on Native multi-project solutions vs. Managed multi-project solutions in respect to the following: When you click DEBUG at the top menu of VS and then choose either Start Debugging or Start Without Debugging ... on a Native solution, it will build only the first project (program) (the one designated as the start-up-project) of say, a two-project (two-program) solution, before it starts it, whereas on a Managed solution, it will build both projects (programs or classes) of say, a two-project solution, before it starts it. On both the Native solution and the Managed solution, the Configuration Manager has Build checked for both projects of each solution. Thanks, Austin

I am generating a word file replacing the fields using the @ variable @ from acucobol extend 9.2.5 and sending it to print, I currently use the compando to print MODIFY word-doc @PrintOut () but now I need to print the document in a printer for both faces but I have not given how to do it or what command to use. I would appreciate the help.

Is it possible to install Visual COBOL for Eclipse on Ubuntu? If so, how do I do that? Thanks in advance.

In the last few years i've been working developing web applications(CGI) with NetExpress. We use the Solo Web Server which allows to debug the application on the same machine we used to develop them. Recently I've been trying to migrate one of these applications to Visual Cobol for academic purposes. As Solo Web Server is not available on Visual Cobol i'm using the Apache2. When i try to run any native cobol program in the same machine i've used to develop them he's throws the follow error: Execution error : file ''error code: 244, pc=0, call=1, seg=0244 Licensing initialization error I checked the services Micro Focus CES daemon and Micro Focus Directory Server are running on the machine. I checkedall the cobol envirioment on apache httpd.conf and they are the same cblpromp.exe. When the program is called from console line he runs as expected. I'm using Micro Focus Visual COBOL 4.0 PE for Visual Studio 2017 Patch Update 01 on Windows 10. Tks,Adrian

Problem: When debugging an application using a core dump from cblcore, the Visual Cobol GUI class library is seen as part of the call stack. How can this be debugged?   Resolution: The GUI class IDY files are needed in order to debug, so the class needs to be compiled to produce them. Copy the "guicl" folder located in the directory below, into another directory. C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\cpylib\\guicl\\ Open the contained project apiguim.cblproj with VCVS and compile it.   If windows.cpy is missing, search for it in C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\cpylib and copy it into the project directory.   If the compilation gives error "LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'imm32.lib'", make sure the IDE can find the following files: comctl32.lib comdlg32.lib shell32.lib For a Windows 10 machine, they are located in the following directory: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Lib\\10.0.16299.0\\um\\x86 The s

Hi, I am working with a customer that is running RM/COBOL 2.1 under Unix Ncr (for a very long time...) and wanting to move to Linux. Their Indexed files are dual, one file for the data and another for the index. I thing that with previous versions there were a utility to migrate those file but I can not find it. How can I move those dual files into a new indexed file? Regards,

Visual Studio 2013 Visual COBOL 2.2 Is it possible to have a managed project where the COBOL program has Variable source format (as defined in the project properties) but with the copy books referenced by the program having themselves a Fixed source format?  I would envision the inclusion of a $SET statement immediately preceding the COPY statement and then another $SET statement immediately following the COPY statement.  Does such a $SET statement exist? Thanks, Austin

I have a routine that creates MS Word Documents that works just find setting fonts, tabs formatting etc.It is using ActiveX controls.I am trying to introduce a function that will do "Find and Replace" and am going through grief trying to get it to work.Here is the AcuCobol logic I am trying to use:     01 WORD-DOC-RANGE-HANDLE     HANDLE OF RANGE.        MOVE LOW-VALUES TO WS-REPLACED-TEXT, WS-REPLACEMENT-TEXT.      STRING "Vancouver"           DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WS-REPLACED-TEXT.      STRING "NeverNever Land" DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WS-REPLACEMENT-TEXT.        MODIFY PRIMARY-WORD-APPLICATION-HANDLE  Documents::Add() GIVING WORD-DOC-HANDLE.     INQUIRE WORD-DOC-HANDLE CONTENT IN WORD-DOC-RANGE-HANDLE.       USE WORD-DOC-RANGE-HANDLE @Find     MODIFY  ^@Text = WS-REPLACED-TEXT    &n

Where do I specify my solution level compiler directives in Visual Studio

Greetings, We're trying to compile several programs written in Acucobol 4.1 with the 10.2.1 compiler. We're hitting this particular issue. Many programs are throwing "data item exceeds 64K" The thing is, I am trying to compile the program with the -Z41 flag set for backwards compatibility. These load modules are used by a 4.1 runtime so this is important. 10.2.1 compiles the program successfully without the -Z41 flag set. I see that there is an additional flag that seems to address exactly the issue I am facing -Zl     All data items may be larger than 64 KB. This option is obsolete. In versions prior to 6.0, this option caused the compiler to allow data items larger than 64 KB. As mentioned above, the option is obsolete and the compiler is clearly ignoring the flag even when set. Any way forward?#AcuCobol#compilererrors

Trying to load true type fonts with C$PDF using the following line of code and receiving the error message "invalid or missing parameter" call "C$PDF" using HPDF-LOADTTFONTFROMFILE HPDF-DOC, "C:/windows/fonts/arial.ttf", HPDF-TRUE Hoping someone has load true type fonts before and can assist with an example. I did notice on the haru documentation that HPDF_LoadTTFontFromFile returns a font name and the Extend documentation doesn't appear to support the font name return.    

I am tasked with setting up an Enterprise Server to run a Micro Focus COBOL application locally and hopefully get debugging enabled.  I exported a working server from the development server and imported into my local ES.  I changed the listeners by using the IP Address from my local computer - but the three listeners still show the IP Address of the development server.  Do I individually change each of the 3 listeners as well?

I am using Visual Cobol latest version 4.7.03056 on Visual Studio 2017.  I have nearly converted most of my linq expressions to delegates and/or method groups with success.  However, I am puzzled on how to convert this simple select statement. var query  = ingredients.Select(x => new { Name = x.Name, Length = x.Name.Length} My take on this is not right of course, because I don't know how to do the return and setup the new {} without using a named class.   declare query = ingredients::Select(delegate(x as type Ingredients) returning ret as table of string occurs any           new table of ret(Name = x::Name)           new table of ret(Length = x::Length) end-delegate)  

Problem: When performing a silent uninstall of a Patch Update, prior to the subsequent install of another Patch Update, the system reboots after the uninstall and the installation of the new Patch Update fails.   Resolution: For Visual Cobol / Cobol Server versions 4.0 and earlier, the system reboot after the silent uninstall of a Patch Update it is unavoidable The workaround is to install the new Patch Update first and then uninstall the old Patch Update, thereby the reboot will be performed only once the whole operation is complete. This issue will be addressed from version 5.0 onwards.#VisualCOBOL#silent#COBOLserver

Hi,  I need to export the data from a file (number, name and address) to an excel file. I had this done on NetExpress but now I need to "pass" to Visual Cobol WPF. Does anyone have a small example that can send me how to create the file in excel, export the data to the cells and then save and close the file? I already ran the forum here but could not find any answer to what I need.   Thanks Alberto Ferraz

does anyone know how can i import from a excel file data to variables in my program? is there a sample code?

Is there any way of moving one character of a string variable into another variable in the Dialog System? For example:   YES-STRING  X 3 Y-STRING      X 1   The 'YES-STRING' contains the word "YES" and I would like to move the letter 'Y' from the 'YES-STRING' to the 'Y-STRING'. I can do this in the COBOL program by doing the following : MOVE YES-STRING(1:1) TO Y-STRING.      But can this be done in the dialog? I know the Dialog System can move entire variable such as:   MOVE YEST-STRING Y-STRING   But I want to be able to move just a character of a string to another variable in the Dialog System. Thanks in advance for your help.   - Alex Castro

Creating a sequential file for 1099's to send to the IRS. I am getting 2 mystery chars @ the front of the record. When I open the file via notepad the first is displayed as STX and the second looks like an l with the caret on top.  I move spaces to the 01 Level and write each different 01 level record. I am doing this for W2's with no problem. Is there some kind of record size limit or ???#AcuCobol
