Rocket® COBOL

I need your help because I have a situation with an authorization code for activate MicroFocus COBOL on my computer. This software was downloading from the trials page directly and I need this code for activate this trial for evaluate buy the license as soon as possible. I suppose this authorization code is needed for COBOL Eclipse for Linux. I appreciate your help on that matter and I will contact you ASAP to buy the licenses for development on our company. Thanks for all and best regards. Jaime Roza

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

I need some help about this code because my company needs a development quickly and the trial shows good results we are on capacity to buy the total license. Please if you can provide me the code in a month or two we buy this license Thanks for your collaboration Best regards Jaime Roza

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" &

I'm analyzing a survey where I let my client provide names for all her variables (e.g., TAILOR, NETWORK, LIFE, DENTAL).  My program automatically made a file description in a copy book, using her variable names as COBOL data names. The Visual COBOL compiler correctly barfed when it encountered two of her names -- SEPARATE and EXIT -- saying that these could not be used as variable names because they were reserved COBOL words.   I changed those to SEPAR and EXINT, and everything seemed to work out all right. Except that it WASN'T all right.  After a certain point into the record, the raw data stopped matching the variable names.  Each raw data item was assigned not to the correct variable name, but to the next variable name to the right.  The Visual COBOL debugger was no help.  I tried everything I could think of, to no avail, for more than two days.  Finally, I found the problem when I put in code that displayed the variable name and the var

Good day for all, we are making an integration of my ERP in RM-COBOL version 7.03 with another system in Oracle database and Sqlserver, I'm using the InstantSql to update some basic catalogs that are shared between both applications, I am trying to execute stored procedures that contain all the validations, in sql server if there are errors the procedure returns me a resultset with the information, but in Oracle it returns of the information in a cursor which I could not obtain the information. These are the parameters of the stored procedure in ORACLE and this is the code with which I'm running the stored procedure This is the error that the program throws at me. And the description of the error is the following: additional to this Is that cobol uses to describe the parameters of the stored procedure InstantSql version 7.5d.00Version of the cobol 7.03Thanks in advance for the help you can give me.                       &nbsp

Hello, We have a set of CL programs running in AS400 systems that trigger online transactions/programs(using STRCICSUSR command) from batch programs. And another set of online programs which trigger batch programs using SBMJOB commands. We have to re-engineer these programs to make them run in MicroFocus environment. Can someone provide some insights on how this can be achieved in MicroFocus? 

Where and how do I define 'Response.Redirect' in my web application? I get a COBCH0301 Unrecognized verb error. Thanks Shirley

Hello! I would like to know how to use webservice (post json) in Visual Cobol. Is this possible in VisualCobol? Below are two examples in C # that I tried to translate, but it did not work. Can someone help me?     First example: var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://url");httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";httpWebRequest.Method = "POST"; using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream())){ string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new { user = "Foo", password = "Baz" }); streamWriter.Write(json);} var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream())){ var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();}   Another example:   var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://url");httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";httpWebRequest.Method = "POST"; using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(htt

During mass data processing in the following constellation, the memory consumption increases continuously. When the 2GB limit is reached, the runtime crashes. Prog1     perform many times                  read file                  call "Prog2"     end-perform Prog2 (not with "is-initial" because the last state should stay in memory)    "heavy I-O" , this means: open / read / rewrite / close many files and records In the windows taskmanager we can see how the memory usage of the runtime-process is constantly increasing. In the debugger the memory consumption (u) "overhead" increases. This is not the case in a local environment where the files are not addressed by AcuServe notation (@srv:). Has anyone seen this before? Runtime & AcuServe Version 10.2.0 as well as 10.2.1

We have a function/screen which uses the screen section to do it's work.  It's older, and needs to be made larger.   I was thinking i would prefer to make it automatically resize so I looked at the layout manager option in the manual, but apparently that can only resize the control, not the fonts in labels and/or entry fields.  So now I'm thinking okay, lets just loop through all the controls in the screen section, doing the "adjustment" that the layout manager would have done.  And use W$FONT to resize the fonts - changing the font sizes when there's enough room.  (Yes, I know I'll have to handle changing the font handle in those controls that need a new font - I think I have a plan for that).  The basic thing I don't know how to do is set up a loop that goes through all the controls in a screen section.   Plan B would be to set up an evaluate that maps loop indexes to controls, and use SET HANDLE to save the ha

 Hi We are using VC 2.3 for VS 2015.  We have a Windows Forms application that uses HttpClient, etc, to send and receive SOAP messages. But I read from Microsoft: "HttpClient is intended to be instantiated once and re-used throughout the life of an application. Instantiating an HttpClient class for every request will exhaust the number of sockets available under heavy loads. This will result in SocketException errors. Below is an example using HttpClient correctly." C# public class GoodController : ApiController { // OK private static readonly HttpClient HttpClient; static GoodController() { HttpClient = new HttpClient(); } } So can somebody convert the above code to Visual Cobol please?  The application consists of a main Form that calls other Forms and classes, all in separate projects.  Should we just instantiate the class at the main Form and reference it in the necessary projects? Thank you Brendan
