When working with Enterprise Server regions in the Eclipse or Visual Studio IDE's and their Server Explorer views it can be useful to use the refresh option. While this is not a required step and the software automatically handles this, it does ensure that all settings and data is synchronized, avoiding possible problems.#EnterpriseDeveloper#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs

Problem: Sometimes using MFCATXML with a large catalog creates only a few output files. Other times, when the catalog is smaller, the MFCATXML creates over 15 output files. What is the reasoning for the file size? What are the output file size based on? Resolution: The catalog export will create a new file every 100000 records. Set the environment variable ‘MF_MVSP0034_LIMIT’ to a value up to 999999 to increase the size of the files. The max is 6 digits.#Server#EnterpriseServer#Enterprise

When executing JCL that uses ICETOOL SELECT with ON option using symbolic names, this results in an error "INVALID NUMERIC VALUE". The reason for this is that symbolic names are not currently supported in Enterprise Developer / Enterprise Server at the time of writing this article (current version: 7.0 Patch Update 8).The following JCL snippet will result in the "INVALID NUMERIC VALUE" error when trying to use ON(CLAAVE1) ON(CLAVE2): //SOR1CNTL DD * SORT FIELDS=(CLAVE1,A,CLAVE2,A,CLAVE3,A,CLAVE4,D,CLAVE5,A) /* //SYMNAMES DD * CLAVE1,1,50,CH CLAVE2,51,8,CH CLAVE3,77,2,CH CLAVE4,74,1,CH CLAVE5,75,2,CH /* //TOOLIN DD * SELECT FROM(I1) TO(O1) DISCARD(D1) FIRST USING(SOR1)- ON(CLAVE1) ON(CLAVE2) Full article: https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000007591#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs#EnterpriseDeveloper

Installed Micro Focus Enterprise Developer rel 7 with PU8. To have latest rel of eGit I used update software from Eclipse. Also had to update IDE from 4.16 to 4.23. When right-cliked I get a exception.  Any suggestion how to solve this issue?  eclipse.buildId=4.23.0.I20220308-0310 java.version=11.0.8 java.vendor=AdoptOpenJDK BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -feature com.microfocus.eclipse.edt.core.product -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -feature com.microfocus.eclipse.edt.core.product -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product org.eclipse.ui Error Wed May 25 09:41:25 CEST 2022 Unhandled event loop exception java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt.MenuManagerShowProcessor.showPopup(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Menu, org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.menu.MPopupMenu, org.eclipse.jface.action.MenuManager)' at org.

I'm trying to evaluate Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, and I'm stuck. In the native Micro Focus dialect or ENTCOBOL, when CHARSET"EBCDIC" is used code such as: 77 variable-w    pic x(12) value '000008123456'.77 valid-chars-c pic x(10) value '0123456789'.inspect variable-w converting valid-chars-c to high-values. converts the variable to all x'DF', not x'FF'. It recognizes high-values as x'FF' in other contexts, such as VALUE HIGH-VALUES or comparing the variable-w to HIGH-VALUES, so it doesn't seem to be that it is defining HIGH-VALUES as x'DF'. It is really weird: Converting a variable to the HIGH-VALUES figurative constant fails Converting the variable to ALL X'FF' also results in x'DF'. but... Converting to spaces or low-values works Converting a literal (e.g. '000008123456' works Converting the variable to another variable (such as high-values-c pic x(12) value high-values) works INSPECT ... REPLACING ALL '0' BY HIGH-VALUES (or BY X'FF') converts the zeros to x'
