Created On:  20 April 2011 Problem: If you move an older application to Windows 7 and you have mapped LPTn to a network printer using "NET USE", and you have ASSIGN TO “LPT1:” (or LPT2: etc) in the SELECT clause of the COBOL program, you may receive run time (RTS) error 9/013 when attempting to access the printer. Yet, if from the command line you physically copy a file to the LPTn port specified in the NET USE statement, it prints. Resolution: Assume the following SELECT statement in the COBOL program: SELECT PRINT-FILE ASSIGN TO "LPT1:"               FILE STATUS IS FILE-STAT. And assume the following dos command is set to specify the network printer (possibly in a batch (.bat) file: NET USE LPT1: \\\\machine-name\\HPLaserJet /persistent:yes where machine name is the print server with the printer drivers installed, and 'HPLaserJet' is the ‘Share name’ on the ‘Sharing’ tab in the ‘Printer Proper

If I have Enterprise Developer and  I  do API enable a piece of legacy Cobol Code, do I need any additional Microfocus software to deploy/use the API?Thanks Eduardo#EnterpriseDeveloper

Problem : After the Windows 10 update KB4601055 is installed Visual Studio may crash with an exception similar too: System.NullReferenceException at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.HasCustomChrome(System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource, RECT ByRef   Resolution : Refer to following Microsoft link for details on the workaround:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/february-9-2021-kb4601055-cumulative-update-for-net-framework-3-5-and-4-8-for-windows-10-version-1809-and-windows-server-version-2019-38aea913-ccd7-bc76-db60-9521318f97cb  Workaround steps are:1) Using an Administrator account, browse to the Visual Studio install location, such as C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Enterprise\\Common7\\IDE2) Make a backup copy of devenv.exe.config3) Open devenv.exe.config in a text editor and locate the line that begins with:<AppContextSwitchOverrides4) Add the following to the end of the value string (including the semicolon at the start):;

Problem : Uninstall of Enterprise Developer version 6.0 may result with  “Error 0x80070643 - serious error during installation”.   Resolution : This can occur due to various reasons, one being a known issue and is being included in the next major product version (7.0). It is recommend to contact the Support team to help confirm this, but in the meantime you can consider the following workaround instructions:   Backup "C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\Config\\machine.config" And "C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\Config\\machine.config" Replace these using the attached files.

Problem : Source files containing embedded hex open in a binary editor if using Visual Studio, making viewing/editing difficult. If double clicking the source from the Solution Explorer view it will attempt to open the source in the Eclipse IDE (if installed).    Resolution : -From the Visual Studio Solution Explorer view, right-click on the file and select Open With...-Select Source Code (Text) Editor With Encoding from the list.-Choose an encoding, for example Western European (Windows) - Codepage 1252.-Now the source file can be opened in Visual Studio, however, this would need to be done every time the file is opened.-Alternatively, choose Unicode (UTF-8 with signature), this will add the BOM (byte order mark) when the file is saved so subsequent opens are automatic. #MFDS#EnterpriseDeveloper

Problem: From Visual COBOL/Enterprise Developer 6.0, including subsequent Patch Updates, the installer on Windows has automatically started the Micro Focus Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA) service as part of the installation process.Using the Japanese system locale on this Operating System, the ESCWA service would not start. During the installation process, you would potentially be required to press "Retry" to reach a successful install. Even with the product installed, ESCWA would not start until a valid license was detected. The aforementioned installer issues do not affect Visual COBOL/Enterprise Developer 5.0 and it's Patch Updates as ESCWA is not started automatically, however ESCWA will still fail to start using the environment specified. Solution: On a Windows Operating System with a Japanese system locale, if the product will not install, use "Retry" on the installer until it successfully does. Alternatively, if installing a Patch Update, you can instead ins

We use the RESTART= parameter in JCL to do restarts, does this work in Enterprise Server?  I see that ES has command line options to control RESTART, but is the JCL parameter supported?#EnterpriseServer

I can't find any documentation on how to suspend (quiesce) a running JCL Batch job in Enterprise Server and then subsequently resume the same job.  Is there a way to do this?#EnterpriseServer

What is the mf370ctl configuration file and why are some files not redirected by it? In the documentation it mentions using a configuration file named “mf370ctl” (the MFASM Configuration File) for configuring ASSEMBLER project file locations. You can use a MF370CTL.CFG file to maintain a project's variables in one place. The mf370ctl configuration file can be used to define a project’s structure. For example: SYSLIN=.\\DEBUG SYSLIST=.\\LISTING SYSLMOD=.\\DEBUG By default, this configuration file is located in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Micro Focus\\Enterprise Developer\\bin directory, but can be placed in the Visual Studio’s working directory (or, what some refer to as the “base folder” for the project”. But it will be noted that not all files are redirected by this file; they are left in the project folder. Here are a couple, and why: The .BAT files are VS Assembler interface generated helper scripts used to invoke the assembler compiler/linker. So there is no need to redirect those

This issue was discovered under Windows. Under ED 6.0, the documented port to use for ESCWA is 10086. However, for ED 6.0 PU01 and ED 6.0 PU02, if port 10086 is used, a page will come up displaying an error (it will differ by browser).  Examples: Under Chrome: “This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect. Try:   Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”    Under Firefox: " Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:10086     The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.     If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.     If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web." The port prior to ED 6.0 was 10004. Try that previous port. ESCWA will come up under port 10004. #MFDS#EnterpriseDevelope

Problem: In the EDVS2019 5.0 PU08 IDE, COBOL programs are opening in the binary editor or notepad instead of the default COBOL editor. The option to open the files with the COBOL editor is not available. Solution: This appears to be a VS2019 bug. Deleting the extra spaces at the bottom of the programs resolves the issue.         #MFDS#EnterpriseDeveloper

Problem: Compiler error COBES0100 : DB2 Parser error: Syntax error near.... is occurring when the optional INTO or FROM keywords are omitted from EXEC SQL INSERT and EXEC SQL DELETE statements.  Solution: In later versions of Enterprise Developer like 5.0, the SQL directive STRICTPARSE is on by default, and it flags statements that do not compile on the mainframe, like INSERT without the INTO or DELETE without the FROM. Adding the NOSTRICTPARSE directive resolves the issue.       #MFDS#EnterpriseDeveloper

Problem: ES Region going into a "Not Responding" state and several of the following errors are seen in the ES console log: CASKC0023E Unable to locate asee Service Request Handler for request    Solution: The CASKC0023E message can occur when an incorrect url is passed in to the ES Web Services listener, and  we have seen this issue occur when security tools like vulnerability scanners fire large numbers of invalid HTTP requests to the listeners and cause SEPs in Enterprise Server to hang and regions to go into a "Not Responding" state.     #MFDS#EnterpriseDeveloper

Problem: 'Could not impersonate the client during assembly file operation' error message when publishing a stored procedure in Enterprise Developer. Solution: SQL Server has two layers – there are logins which connect you to a SQL Server instance (authentication) – and then these logins are mapped to SQL Server userids  which  are  granted permissions at the database level.   To resolve the error, do the following for SQLCLR SPs (grant sysadm role  to logins):   - From SQL Server Management Studio, Object Explorer – click Security, then Logins- Click on the login you want to change – then select Server Roles and check 'sysadm'.   This article may be helpful as well: https://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/12/27/sql-server-add-any-user-to-sysadmin-role-add-users-to-system-roles/       #EnterpriseDeveloper#MFDS
