Rocket® COBOL

I am taking a COBOL programming course and they require I use the 2015 version. Is there a way I can get the 365-day license for multiple machines as I use both my home system and my work system to do homework or do I have to do multiple 30-day keys?#VisualCOBOL#COBOL

we have a client using an ERP system built on top of Cobol. Our client have 81 active licenses, ACUServer and plans to expand this number with more users. However we seem to reached a limit. System works perfectly up to 65 users, however when user 66 connects it prompts the following message: 9D,104 Communication with server is broken. Contracting must be restarted.Is there a magic limit at 65 for ACUServer (extend), are there any tweaks we need to look at?Vendor suggested that the problem was resources on the server and suggested that we looked into:ERROR_INVALID_AT_INTERRUPT_TIME104 (0x68) Cannot request exclusive semaphores at interrupt time.However, I am unable to find anything remotely close to said message in any log file, event viewer and so on.System is a Hyper-V Windows 2012R2, 32GB ram, 4CPU, SSD drives. Host cluster is as far as I know from HP bought mid 2018. The system is utilizing at 10-20% CPU, Memory 10-30%, disk speed negligible.Acuserver.cfg file is according to vendo

Hi,  Currently i am facing issue on the page down and page up not working for Grid control in ACUCOBOL 10 environment.  When first time load the program, it work to page down but after page down and try to page down again, it didn't have any response after press the page down. Need to press down for 1 record then press page down only it work. Then it will go back to the same situation that page down not working and need to repeat the same step to press down key in order to page down.  Please advise isn't any setting in the configuration is need to set for grid control in ACUCOBOL 10 environment.  Thanks You. 

My understanding is that wrun32.mlc is the license fro MS SQL (ACu4GL) I went looking for this file in an environment that is running Acu4GL but could only see a wrun32.ml!  (ie a renamed version) I looked in the .bun folder as well as c:\\programdata\\micro focus\\... but did not locate a .mlc file.   In a different process where we are running AcuGT.exe (rather than wrun32.exe) I have seen the error License file  ...... wrun32.mcl is inaccessible   So the question is under what circumstances do I and do I not, need wun32.mlc to be present in the bin folder

Hi All.   What is the recommended method for identifying a returning workstation, in acutoweb? There is ACCEPT FROM TERMINAL-INFO, but the CLIENT info is about the generic device, no mac address or anything. So if 2 people have identical devices, you cannot tell which is which. Web browsers normally use cookies to achieve this - can we do that with AcuToWeb?  Can we do it with the browser control?  Or is there a better way?  (I've not used the browser control much, but what I've read hasn't mentioned setting cookies - I'm guessing there's a way to open the browser control, pointing it at a server-side resource, which will send the cookie - then later open it pointed at a get-cookie page)

We are trying to integrate Pega Robotics Studio and Rumba 9.4 application for testing on Win 10 OS. We are facing 'page error unable to load host control' error while trying to launch .rsdu profile. Can anyone help on this issue.

Does XBIS have any throttling capability?  For example, can it be configured to accept only 50 pending requests, and after that, it will reply gracefully, with something like a 503 (service unavailable)? Is there a setting within XBIS that will accomplish this?

Hello everyone, is anyone using the new 10.2.1 version already? I don’t know what has changed, but the performance of this new version is unacceptable! It takes at least 10 times more to startup a program (opening of all the files and initiation of the program). Best regards, Ruud Hoogendoorn

Hello: I am creating a new project with some programs that existed in another project (for example the menu manager). Everything is fine, but I have an error that I can not solve (and the tips do not exist). The program in question is MENUS (MENUS MENUS.XAML). You are giving COBCH1710 and COBCH0826 error on some lines in MENUS.G.CBL. I've tried changing some of the lines but it always gives the same error. Attached prints with the error.   Thanks Alberto Ferraz  

I am trying to add my serial number to my account on supportline.microfocus.com, because I don't have Server 5.1 in my download section here, and I need download updates. I have this Licence card But what part should I use as serial number? I try to use Serial Number and Licence Number from this cards, but in both cases, I got message, that serial number wasn't found. Or updates for Server 5.1 are downloaded somehow another way? In my download section I have only Net Express 5.1. And I have install CD for Server 5.1 wrap pack 6, but I need wrap pack 10 (same as I have on Net Express). Thanks for any help.#server5.1#netexpress#COBOL

How would you convert this to use anonymous methods using visual cobol for visual studio 2017?  I am more interested in the delegates and the use of the linq join extension.  The property's I can get and convert.  I cannot figure out how to work the join expression using delegates for visual cobol .net. List<State> states = new List<State>()            {                new State {SID = 1, SName = "Telangana", SCode = " 91", SAbbrevation = "TG"},                new State {SID = 2, SName = "Texas", SCode = "512", SAbbrevation = "TS"},            };            List<Country> coutries =

Problem: When building or rebuilding a project, the following error appears: ERROR: (1) Cannot open file : <project_name>_RTECFG.OBJ Resolution: The file _RTECFG.OBJ contains the settings made by the user in the Net Express IDE, in Project Properties > Application. The above error may appear because this file is missing or not accessible.   If access to these settings is required to build the application, perform a Rebuild All. The file is newly generated on a Rebuild All, but not on a simple rebuild.   If access to these settings is not required anymore, the file _RTECFG.OBJ has to be deleted: Go to Project > Build Settings or right-click on the project's EXE on the left site of the project's view and select Build Settings. On the Link tab, change the category from General to Advanced. The _RTECFG.OBJ file is found in the "Link with these OBJs:” field. If the file is deleted here, the linker will no longer report a missing file.  NOTE: The f

I am a member of the Visual COBOL forum. Until sometime recently, I was receiving an email whenever anybody posted to that forum, which I greatly appreciated. But sometime recently, those emails stopped. Please advise how I can start them up again.#Email#COBOL

I cannot find where to download the examples for the developer's guide to modern cobol book.  The website (https://www.microfocus.com/visualcobolbook) listed in the eBook is not valid.  I want to look at the example Rental Agency code. Thanks.

In Netexpress5.x is it possible to run an assistant for activeX-Components to generate code. I don't find this Option in Visual Cobol 3.x or 4.x I know that ActiveX is not prefered for Dotnet-Application, it must be good to preserve this possibilty in Visual Cobol Thanks for your help cg

Hi all I have imported a NetExpress 5.1 project to Visual Cobol. the program starts with a menu that calls a new screen.this works fine because the flag inside the dialog system is correctly setted. in the second screen there are other buttons but when I push one of this, the flag associated in not correctly setted   why the second screenset doesn't set the flag? ThanksCarlo

what as mean sqlcode -0000003010?   I can not find any reference to this error   Thanks Carlo  

Hello, We're running runtime version 9.2.4 in a Windows 10 environment, and have run into a strange occurrence where it seems as though a portion of the screen stops updating. We're connecting to the server via thin client, and the application is in use all day long.   The portion of the screen circled here stops updating, while the rest of the screen remains responsive. Once the screen gets in this state, floating windows no longer appear on screen either, though the code is still behaving like they're there. For instance, when subtotaling a transaction we'd pop-up a window that the user has to hit enter or clear on on to proceed, the application waits for the key press like the window is there even though it's not visible, before proceeding. The circled controls are a grid, and a label, nothing out of the ordinary occurs other than the display issues mentioned. Has anyone else experienced an issue like this? Any idea what I should look for here to troubleshoo

Anyone have NetExpress 3.0.?? so sell? I have Object Cobol and my Applications can not be run on an 64bit OS. Need for Windows. I support my last customers so I do not want to buy an new version. It is still for helping a view old clients.   So: CAN ANYONE HELP ME ?#COMPILER#cobolnetexpress

I have an application where I read a record, perform some calculations, and then decide whether I want to delete the record or save (“rewrite”) it.  The compiler gives me an error, apparently inconsistent with the MicroFocus documentation.   Please advise how I can achieve my purpose.   In Micro Focus Online Documentation the rules for Deleting a record state: The associated file must be open in the I-O mode at the time of execution of this statement. (See the topic The OPEN Statement.) For files in sequential access mode, the last input-output statement executed for file-name-1 prior to the execution of the DELETE statement must have been a successfully executed READ statement. The operating system logically removes from the file the record that was accessed by that READ statement. Here is my code:          SELECT CLEANDATA              ASSIGN TO "CLEANDATA" &
