I am trying to create oracle database tables from acu4gl vision files using cobol and .xfd files How do I setup the naming conventions to differentiate the vision file from the database table name.  Do I need to create 'another' set of .xfd files?

Team,   We noticed, Batch region ESMAC console is not able to accessing some time and during that time workaround we have killed the SEP admin process id's after that its working fine. But we need to know the permanent solution for this issue.  This is for Enterprise Server. kindly help us.  

I searched and searched for how to invoke something like ToString or Trim on a form object in Visual COBOL and did not find anything.  In my testing I found that the "::" works for "dereferencing" in Visual COBOL much the same way that "." works in Visual Basic.  To create a string the has a button in it, I can use this statement:  MOVE "Button name = [" & btnMenu::Name::Trim & "]" TO WorkString.This will result in "Button name = [My Button]"A numeric property value can be converted to a string using ToString.MOVE "Button name = [" & btnMenu::TabIndex::ToString("0#")::Trim & "]" TO WorkString. However, currently with version 4, while this works for the MOVE statement, this cannot be used inside a STRING statement.#method#VisualCOBOL#Reference#.net#dereference

Hello guys! I have a newbie question... I want to create a OK/Cancel message Box in visual cobol and I am stuck... All I want is to return a condition value (when I press OK return true and when I press Cancel false). The main cbl will recognize the value and do the other things. I have to create the messagebox from scratch?

When you try to install a license for Server Express or Server for COBOL and you get the error 'Product/version not found in PRODFILE' it means that the PRODFILE has become corrupt or is an old version and does not include the full product list.  You need to cd to $COBDIR/aslmf - cp PRODFILE PRODFILE.old- vi PRODFILE and delete all the contents of the file- Copy and paste the below in to the empty PRODFILE ans save it. =============PRODFILE================ Server for COBOL 040 001Server for .Net 040 002Server for SOA 041 001Server for Enterprise Edition 041 002Server for EE (CICS) 041 004Server for EE (JCL) 041 008Server for EE (CICS,JCL) 041 012Server for COBOL 003 001Server for COBOL 64-bit Edition 003 010Server for COBOL 003**011Server for COBOL 006 001Server for COBOL 64-bit Edition 006 010Server for COBOL 006**011Server for SOA 005 001Server for Enterprise Edition 005 002Server for EE (CICS) 005 004Server for EE (JCL) 005 008Server for EE (CICS,JCL) 005 012Object

Hi, We have installed the 64-bit relativity (ver 12.10.2015.304) driver on our Windows 2012 R2 machine running SQL Server 2012. In SQL Server, we have linked to the DB using the MSASQL provider and while working we are having problems where numeric fields are being truncated. As an example, the following query returns 14.00 where the result should be 14.45 select *FROM OPENQUERY(test, ' select orderno, LineNo, str(UnitCost ) from oslines where orderno = ''H21234'' and LineNo = 1 ') The same driver works great in SSIS so I know the ODBC is ok, it's just the SQL Server. I'm hoping its simply a configuration issue but I've fiddled with the available settings I could find to no advantage. I'd be grateful if anyone had any tips! Thanks, Scott#relativityodbcsqlserver

We've got Micro Focus to transform our COBOL code to the managed code and leverage it. For deployment, I was wondering that is it anyway to prevent us to install the whole Micro Focus on the Host machine and just using the dlls. This question is also for setting ADO connection instead of using GUI to set it up,

Problem: On Linux/Unix, a COBOL program can call a C function within a library using INITCALL, but on Windows, it gives error: 173 Called program file not found in drive/directory. Resolution: INITCALL loads the dll/so, but it needs to know what entry is being called within it.  One way to achieve this is by having the same entry name as the binary module itself.  However, there might be several entries in the dll/so that would need to be called separately. In this scenario, INITCALL behaves differently in Linux/Unix compared to Windows. When the entry and the shared object name are different, on Linux/Unix, the entry can be called by using the "-e name" flag at compilation time. On Windows, if the Cobol program cannot find an entry with the same name as the dll/so, the first entry in ordinal position is called. To change this behaviour, any entry within the dll that is to be called by COBOL must be exported. For this, a .def file must be created for the dll containing the

Using Netexpress 5.1 with a Dialog System proyect I use a List View Box. When I compile my main program with 78  dialog-system                   VALUE "DS".     *> = debug everythink works as expected. The Event  "USER-EVENT" works properly and detects perfectly the conditions SELECTED, ACCEPTES. Of course I must always clic on the Debugg Box "CONTINUE" If I make the only Change in the main program 78  dialog-system                   VALUE "dsgrun". *>NO debug and everything else exactly the same, the USER-EVENT is no longer detected and all the involved instructions are not executed. Any idea what else must be changed? Thanks for any help.

I have an issue with loading a JSON string from a webserver.   Loading of a JSON string via the linkage area is not accepting the string as input   for example,  the following call is sent   GET /ssi/1.0/validationIdList?endClientType=SSI_egm&endClientId=ABC_123&configurationId=1235813&validationListId=1347118&numValidationIds=5&valIdListExpired=false HTTP/1.1Accept: application/jsonAccept-Charset: utf-8   I am not sure how using XBIS i can accept the above string as input into a cobol program (fields in BOLD) and use the relevant parameters as part of input to read files etc   Any information would be appreciated#linuxcobol#XBIS#JSON#RMCOBOL

Is anyone else seeing problems caused by Windows 10 PC's installing the latest (May 8, 2018) updates?  We have multiple sites reporting issues with multiple PC's after installing the May 8th updates.  Specifically they are unable to communicate with AcuServer (we use the default port 6523).  They are also unable to use a few programs included in our application software that communicate with corresponding programs on the server using the C$SOCKET library routine included in AcuCobol.  One client first reported it on one Windows 10 PC that updated, then two days later, same problem on another PC, and now a 3rd PC.  Another client reported all 3 of his Windows 10 PC's updated on Friday and then these were no longer able to use C$SOCKET to "talk" to the server starting Monday.  Another client using AcuServer for their data file traffic reported their Windows 10 PC updated last week and was immediately unable to use our application due to

It would be great if the ICON configuration variable could use an icon that is more than a 16 color icon.  The current restriction of only being able to use a 16 color icon makes it hard to have a good looking icon on current Windows systems.  It would be great if it could support True Color Alpha Channel (32-bit color) icons.

Hi! I would like your help! I have the standard Apllication Server, as I used with Net Express 5.0, would you be wondering if I can take advantage of the Application Server that I have if I migrate to Visual Cobol?Thanks in advance for your help! Allan

Boa dia a todos, por favor estou tentando fazer uma assinatura digital em um XML, e esta dando super certo com a ajuda do exemples que Chris Glazier e Altair Borges me enviaram, porem esta assinando com o algoritimo RSA-SHA1 mas eu preciso assinar com algoritimo RSA-SHA256, eu achei um exemplo que eu acredite que seja o que eu preciso conforme esta abaixo em C#, mas não estou conseguindo converter o Visual COBOL for Visual Studio, se alguém conseguir me ajudar ficarei muito agradecido.   atenciosamente   Renato Soares Vieira   using System; using System.Security.Cryptography; class RSASample { static void Main() { try { //Create a new instance of RSACryptoServiceProvider. using (RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider()) { //The hash to sign. byte[] hash; using (SHA256 sha256 = SHA256.Create()) { byte[] data = new byte[] { 59, 4, 248, 102, 77, 97, 142, 201, 210, 12, 224, 93, 25, 41, 100, 197, 213, 134, 130, 135 }; hash = sha256.ComputeHa

Hi,  I have a POS application that we are running on a Windows 10 Tablet and need to incorporate a signature capture feature.   Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this without the need for a signature pad device?   We want the user to sign on the touch screen and save the signature image to a .jpg file format (preferably, but not absolutely required that it is jpg).   Looking around on the web, I find some options for active-x controls that I may can plug in and use.   I would greatly appreciate any input or guidance from anyone who is familiar with signature capture on touch screen devices. Thank you!#extend#AcuCobol#COBOL#ActiveX

I've been playing with creating a text file which is imported into an Excel spread sheet. I get good results when the spread sheet in empty but importing to an existing spread sheet(which is what I want) gets totally unexpected results. My question is, are there Excel commands that can say "place this data at this location?". My theory is that with such commands I can update specific locations with the extracted data. Thanks John...    Looks like I should add more to my question. The question is about using text to update an Excel spread sheet, sense no one answered I suspect what I want can't be done with a text file. Are there other (simple?) techniques that can accomplish updating specific data in a spread sheet?   

Hi all   We have now AcuToWeb up and running in a single program. Over all, we find AcuToWeb to slow for the full package, but it is okay for a single program even though we hope that performance could be a little bit better a long the way.    But now to my question. Our customer want his customer to sign an agreement on the tablet running AcutoWeb. Is that do able, and does anybody have an idea how to do that.   Best Regards Steen

Hi all, Has anybody used RMNet to implement an OAuth 2 solution. I am specifically trying access Audatex Audconnect solution for exporting assessments. I can get the authorization login to work using the browser control but the return post opens a new web page which I don't really want to see but I can glean the token from it by inquiring on the web browser control. However, having got the token I then need to post requests using httppost/httpget using the returned token to setup a request for an export and return the endpoint for getting the assessment data. All the posts after the authorization have Curl command equivalent's but I cannot get any of them to work. A simple one is to find out who you are when connected and the curl command is curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer 'returned token' 'audaconnect-demo.ax-aee.co.uk/.../whoami' which works from the command line when I run it.
