Hello I have a problem with the event MSG-GOTO-CELL-DRAG (not thin client). When I use the next code it works when I drag a row down in a grid slowly. When I drag the row down very fast it seems to loose the MSG-GOTO-CELL-DRAG event because INTEGER is not being added.   WHEN MSG-BEGIN-DRAG         MOVE 0 TO INTEGER WHEN MSG-GOTO-CELL-DRAG         ADD 1 TO INTEGER WHEN MSG-END-DRAG         DISPLAY INTEGER   I tried runtime 9.22 and 10.20#Grid

I have a simple cobol console program using visual studio 2017 (running visual cobol 2017) display "ackack" line 4 position 10. this throws an "index out of range exception" this syntax worked with Visual Cobol 2015. Am I missing something in the docs?

Does VisualCobol in Managed mode support .NET Core 2.0 on LINUX?

HI All I have got the 10.1.0 Dev Suite and I have been led to believe that the 32bit version of this comes with the Acusql precompiler Presumably to compile a cobol source program I will need the 10.1.0 compiler to pick up the precompiler ?   I have 10.1.1 runtime and but I only have the 64bit version licenses not the 32bit.  If I have compiled as per stated above does that mean I MUST execute the 32bit runtime?  I  purchased a 32 bit runtime license for AcuSQL last June 2017 but Micro Focus have been unable to supply such a license.  I get a delivery notice but when I go to the website to "email summary" I get message "This order does not contain any License Key information"  Has anyone seen that before?  The support people in Sydney do not seem to know how to get round this.   Would I be right in thinking that : a) I need 32bit runtime and 32 bit licenses b) I need the 32bit ACUSQL runtime and license c) when I compile using

I've a web browser control which is used to display a image when I do the http call.   I am wondering if there is a way to save this image off and resize it or store so I can do the call and get the back and print both sides at one time.    I can print one side at a time but if possible I would like to do both at the same time.   I also have some calls where the image comes back upside down so I would like to save it and rotate it if possible to display right side up.  Would anyone have any suggestions on how or if I could do this.    Thank you.

Hi  How do you handle automatic update of the Acucobol thin client.  We are using ATC files, and the ATC files is associated with the thin client we are using right now (10.1)  When we set the normal port to the next version 10.2  the user are prompted if they would upgrade, and then the download runs and succeeds. But it does not change the association to the acuthin client before. that means that every time the user clicks his ATC file they are asked to upgrade.  Has anybody found a solution for this   Best Regards Steen  

Good morning, I have a question regarding the RM-COBOL we do not have the xcentrisity so we use programs in C or Java to make consumptions of webservice or make communications with dataphones or perform specialized management of devices such as scale etc, to execute these programs we make this sentence            CALL "SYSTEM" USING COMMAND-TO-EXECUTE                    ON EXCEPTION                       ERROR                    NOT ON EXCEPTION                       CANCEL "SYSTEM"        

I have made a dll with visual cobol for visual studio 2.3 and it works in a web project asp c # locally. The dll works correctly using the visual studio environment 2012 in a machine with cobol server 2.3. If it is deployed in a local IIS it works, but if it is deployed in a windows server with IIS and cobol server 2.3 it does not work. the cobol server is correctly licensed. Apply the configurations mentioned in community.microfocus.com/.../deploy-a-visual-cobol-asp-net-web-site-under-iis and still continue without function. What additional configuration should be applied? How to add to the IIS the environment of the cobol server 2.3? I appreciate in advance the collaboration that I can provide.

Hi all, I'm just interested to know if others have this issue.  I'm using VS2015 in Windows 10 but had same problem with earlier versions. VS starts updating (I assume that's what it's doing) without warning while I'm working and prevents me working. Initially i think there's a problem and perhaps end up re-booting.  The update can go on for hours and at no point does it actually indicate it is running updates. It's really infuriating. Any advice?  My laptop is not the fastest but it's not a slow machine. Another possibility is this is caused by issues with the continuous background MF COBOL parsing.  Is that likely?  Can it be turned off? Many thanks, Linden

I installed Visual Cobol for Visual Studio 2017 with a free personal license to do some tests. Now I have requested the 30 days complete trial (if needed, my support code is 600000740231).

I need to get info from tables in database X, which the COBOL program is connected to, and insert info from them to a table in database Y, which the program is not connected to.  Is there a way to do this in one program?  If yes, how do I reference the copybook for the table in database Y.  If I need to connect to Y, what does that do to the connection with X?  Thanks.

2110.relativity.docx Well since the last time that I did the merge the fillers are showing but this position and length are not right. This is the file fd for this first filler. It should be what the previous was. Plus when I create my tables it also comes up with a message to rename the filler because it is not a valid sequel name, or i can click the cancel button to skip. 000400 FD  ACCOUNT-FILE 000500         LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD   112408         RECORD CONTAINS 2000 CHARACTERS. 000700  000800 01  ACCOUNT-RECORD-FD.  000900     05  AC-KEY. 001000         10  AC-NUMBER     PIC S9(11)   COMP-3. 112408     05  FILLER                   PIC X(1994).  

Sorry posted wrong info  In the details it is giving the previous position of the first 01 Account record fd and giving the new position of the filler in the account record under name.
