Hi,

I appreciate Chris Glazier has previously posted that Net Express is not certified on Windows 10.

However we have a application developed in Net Express 5.1 which uses the CCITCP interface and CCITCP2 and customers have reported 

the application freezing if left open on certain programs for a period of time. Looking at the mfclisrv.log I have noticed large number of CCITC32-0008E and

CCITC32-0041E messages in the log.

We have a large customer base running different versions of Windows and it will be hard to get them to willingly pay towards the cost of upgrading the existing application to Visual COBOL.

So, with that in mind would I be right in saying this relates to the original post by Chris regarding the limitations of the underlying build tools and the c-runtime.

Any pointers would be much appreciated as if the only option is to upgrade to Visual COBOL then I can put this forward.

Regards

The errors you are receiving appear to indicate a networking problem on the server side such as no response from the server.

We do not test nor certify Net Express on newer platforms so it is hard to say whether or not this is a problem with the product or a general problem with your network environment itself.

In what capacity are you using CCITCP2? Are you using the CSBIND functionality for client/server programming or something else?

Thanks for replying Chris.

The dev's who originally wrote the app have long gone but it's good bet they did take the CSBIND example as a

starting point.

Looking at the mfclisrv.cfg config the following params are specified -

********************************************************************************
* Micro Focus - Client Server Module Configuration File *
********************************************************************************

[mf-clisrv]
srvtier=MAINMENU - this contains the call to mfserver
cblksize=6
dblksize=3792
maxtrans=4
servername=XXXX
clierrprog=SAME

No value for srvprog set though.
