We don't use Acubench We work with the screen section Every control has an ID assigned by us Is it possible to inquire the current control if you only know the id ?

I am using net express 5.1 under linux 7 (64 bit) os. using ingress 10.1 (64 bit).  ESQL rcoo1000.scb: Execution error : file ''error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11) cob64: error(s) in code generation: rcoo1000.intCompilation Unsuccessful echo rcoo1000.cbl

I'm looking for information about the enabling function keys and page-up page-down keys etc. I'm having trouble determining how to intercept page-up / page-down keys.

I would like to check the possibility to implement a trigger behavior using COBOL NetExpress 5.1 for C-ISAM files.   There is a set of Legacy COBOL programs that opens lots of BOOKS and C-ISAM files (IDX3) and I am trying to do a non intrusive approach to update data on my database when the C-ISAM file is altered (by update or insert).  If something like that could be done I would not need to change all the codes of my legacy.   I am not closed in this approach.  I am open to suggestions.#netexpress#c-isam#NetExpress5.1#Linux#trigger

 Sorry about starting new post, but the first one it's seems dead, and important information are hidden within many posts. I need to setup remote debug between two machines with Windows Server OS. I am able to use remote debug when on both machines (development and application) is Net Express installed. But I hope, that there is a way to have Net Express installed only on development machine, and on application machine is only end-user runtime, but I am unable to make it. Please what should I deploy on application machine to get this work? In my case, I have only 2 Net Express licences, but I have one development machine and five application machine (with different versions of my application). Thanks a lot for any suggestion.#remote#NetExpress5.1#COBOL#debugging

I have Net Express 3.0.14 and all applications are in 16-bit after compiling. How can I change it to run on 32/64-bit?   Thx   PS.: I do NOT want to upgrade to a newer version. I need it only for me and a new version is much to expensive#Windows#cobolnetexpress#64bitcompilationissue#netexpress#32bit

Is it worth learning native cobol or should i jump right into .net or managed?  Thoughts?

I am receiving the above C0000005 Access Violation error when I am trying to animate. This is in all of our development regions. We just upgraded to Windows 2012 R2 Server and it has occurred since that upgrade.   Thanks

The environment is Visual COBOL 2017 and the objective is to put a program into sleep mode for one minute. Looking in the COBOL manual there is a System Routine of CBL GC NANOSLEEP that will do the job but the call to this routine fails (not found). Searching my C drive does not find the routine. So my questions are; 1. Is this routine the way to go or are there other alternatives?  2.  If this is the alternative, how do I acquire this System Routine?

I'm using the mFFH cobol facility to create a file trace in a managed cobol program.  It's working file, but when I run cobfhrepro3 to produce a report of the trace, the file name on the report is only 30 bytes.  I'm using a fully-qualified UNC path as the file name, and it's way more than 30 bytes. Is there a way to tell the trace facility or cobfhrepro3 to display more than 30 bytes of the file name? Just a bit of background...the program I'm tracing wasn't written by me, and was written in native cobol.  I converted it to managed cobol so we could use it in a WCF service.  After about 500 runs, the service crashed in the Micro Focus file handler.  I'm guessing that there is a file that is not being closed, so the system is running out of file handles.  Since the program uses a lot of files, I'm using the trace facility to try to match opens and closes. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!#trace

I know you can do this with invoke, list and add but can it be done with traditional cobol.  I want to create a list of class objects.  So I have a class that consists of student information These all have properties set. class-id TO_Students.       Working-Storage Section.               01  _studentname                     pic x(30)      private.               01  _studentid                       pic x(9)       private.               01  _studentmajor  &n

I'm currently trying to use VisualCobol for Eclipse for our legacy code base, in order to modernize our development tools. Up until now we develop in a text editor and compile our cobol-programs via shell script directly on the AIX target. Essentially the script executes the call of the precompiler and the cobol compiler separately. Depending on project conventions (basically naming of the sourcecode), the programm is compiled as standalone binary or as member of one of our shared object libaries. This approach of course requires different arguments to the compilers to achieve this goal. Now I have tried to create a similar behavior running in Eclipse but unfortunately failed with different approaches. What I like to achieve is that, when I start the compile of a single sourcecode in the IDE (via the option compile from the context menu of a cobol file in an remote cobol project), that my buildfile is executed instead of the project generated .cobolBuild. Manipulating the

Hi! I'm having some problems with my database connection. I'm using Visual COBOL v4.0 (with Visual Studio 2017) and my database is Informix 3.5. I'm using Micro Focus ADO.NET Connection Editor to create an ADO.NET Data Source, with OpenESQL as ESQL Preprocessor. The ESQL connection statement from my COBOL program is: connect to "CobolInformix" (obviously "CobolInformix" is the already configured DSN). It works flawlessly until I am working on "standard" databases, allowing program to receive and write data.But when I try to get data from databases with specific connection settings (such as db_locale=en_us.1252 or unicode=true), I got an error ("Illegal use of host variables") because I can't set that properties. In another application, I'm using C# to access to the same database with a connection string similar to this: Ifxoledbc.2;Data Source=myDatabase@myServer;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=user;Password=*****;Pooling=false;db_locale=en_us.1252;client_local

Files that are not indexed in our shop are usually LINE SEQUENTIAL and it is never necessary to look for x'0a' or x'0d'.  When reading files without these characters from other sources, we have read them as SEQUENTIAL when we were sure of the record length. My question concerns a file with fixed length records except there is a short header in front of the first record.  Is there a way to specify how many characters to read outside of the record layout?  I got past this problem by defining a one character file so I could get past the header separately from the records where I performed a read in a loop to create the record in working storage.  It worked, but is there a better way to tackle this? Thanks in advance.

Hello, wir are using RM-Cobol with wow designer and have purchased FlexGrid by ComponentOne and have the following problem with it: while moving mouse over the rows, the rows roll up or down. Who has encountered this problem and can help me? Thanks in advance Suzana#RMCOBOL

Hello,I develop some programs that could be used either under Windows (in graphical mode) or under Linux (in character screen mode or graphical mode depending on how the user is connected to the server). I use the following setting  KEYSTROKE Edit=Down kdKEYSTROKE Edit=Up ku to configure a different behavior for arrow keys Up and Down (compare to TAB and SHIFT-TAB) This works fine with Graphical mode (Windows or Linux) but doesn't work in Character screen mode.  I have reproduced this issue with the sample program  custrpt.cbl. If you execute it with wrun32.exe and the configuration above, it is Ok. But if you execute it with crun32.exe (to be in character screen), arrow keys Up and Down are no more working. Do you have any idea ? Thanks by advance for your help.  Jean-Luc      

Greeetings. When I try to execute the .exe files, I've just downloaded, following the instructions from the email MF sent me, they  say that I do not have the MF installed, I am running windows 10.

Sometimes when I build my visual cobol win form project I will get a compile error I-O error:  IDY file.  I then have to close visual studio, go to the debug folder of the project and delete the files within in.  I restart visual studio, open the project and compile is successful.  Does anyone know why this randomly happens or what can be done to fix the problem?   Thanks.
