When I bought the license of net express (developer and server for 10 users), I installed the developer, but later I did uninstall it, and lost the license. ¿How can I do to clean windows to reinstall again the developer license? I need some help with this subject. Thank you for your time. Juan Zarate.

I was using Net Express (version 5.101.0074) in Windows server 2008. Now I have installed the same version in windows 7.  I'm opening Net Express from an Environment file. The environment file has environment variables (COBDIR,COBIDY,COBCPY) and the variables SET LIB= Oracle client location and PATH. I do not know what LIB, PATH variables are for.   I have mapped a network drive in which all the dependency files are present. When I give Show Copy file it picks up the respective copy book from the mapped network drive.  I trying to compile a project. When I press build all ,I'm getting the message "Checking dependencies for DEBUG\\Project1.EXE" and after that it is not picking up all the included copybook in the project. It continues to rebuild but it is stuck after displaying following messages , it is not completing the compilation. please help * Micro Focus COBSQL Integrated Preprocessor* Net Express V5.1 Copyright (C)1984-2008 Micro Focus (IP) Limited.* URN&

Problem: When attempting to call a C function such as "time" directly from a Net Express program linked as an .exe, a 173 error is returned on the call. How can I get the call to find these C system functions? Resolution: In order to call C functions such as "time" directly from a linked Net Express executable, you either need to specify the litlink option for the call so the function will be resolved at link time to the MSVCRT.LIB import library or you need to load the C library dynamically at run-time. Example:    call "time" using by reference time-row  If you compile this for .int/.gnt then it should be found OK as the C run-time will be loaded automatically and the entry point will be available. If you are linking your program as an .exe/.dll then you must load the C run-time support manually in order to make these entry points available.. You can do this dynamically at run-time by using the following: 01 pp procedure-pointer.     set p

Hi, I have a cobol program that use ESQL in Server for Cobol  5.1 ,  the oracle odbc client x32 has been migrated from  11.02.00.01  to 12.01.00.01.  I did not recompile the program, I use the same dll, and the unique field defined numeric is:  10 RAG-IMP-CNT-EU       PIC S9(13)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.  the column of the table is:   RAG_IMP_CNT_EU                 NUMBER (15, 2) NOT NULL  if I use in a SELECT works fine,instead  if I use the same field with an INSERT\\UPDATE oracle odbc driver 12 give ORA1722.  What can I check ? thank bye #ORA1722

I am trying to get the Net Express 5.1 WP8 package installed on our Windows Server 2012 VM and it continually produces errors when it reaches the step to update the Registry. I am signed on as an administrator, and am running the installation app as an administrator. I can manually run REGEDIT and do whatever I want to do in the registry (obviously being careful to undo what I do so as not to corrupt the registry.) I have read the post about this error on Windows 7 and have read the post referring to Server 2012 support back in 2013. Still no luck.Is there any help to be found? Thanks for any suggestions.

I am trying to connect to a database using net express 5.1 and the error returned is -1390 which means the DB2INSTANCE is not set.  However, it is set so not sure why we are getting this error.  Anyone face this issue?  We are able to connect on other terminal server but this one gives us this error.

Background information: The checker is named 'cobchecker32' or 'cobchecker64' in $COBDIR/bin, and can be seen in 'ps -ef' output while it is running. The checker is the first phase of the COBOL compiler.  It translates COBOL source code into .int and .idy files.  Later, the second phase named the Native Code Generator translates .int into .gnt or .o or .so or executable code. Problem: In some cases, the checker began running very slowly, up to 20 times more slowly than usual. Resolution: The checker's job is to read COBOL source code as input, and write .int and .idy files as output, so it performs a lot of I/O. One way of increasing performance is to make certain that the files the checker reads and writes, are hosted on file systems with high I/O performance.   A worst-case scenario would be if the COBOL sources were held on a remotely-mounted file system with relatively slow I/O performance, and if the output files .int and .idy were also o

Problem: After installing runtime licenses (a. k. a. Server for COBOL licenses) on a Linux/UNIX machine, or to test existing licenses, it would be helpful if there were a way to run a given number of COBOL programs simultaneously, without actually running the real-world application, to prove how many COBOL programs can be run simultaneously. Resolution: Below is a shell script that will create a simple COBOL program, compile it, then run a given number of simultaneous instances of it.  Each instance of the program will do nothing but sleep for a certain number of seconds and then exit. If the machine in question does not have the COBOL compiler installed (in other words, if the Server for COBOL product is installed and not the Server Express product), then run the script first on a machine that does have Server Express installed, then FTP the file "sl.int" to the machine having just Server for COBOL, then comment-out the part of the script that creates and

Problem: When issuing a rebuild command of this form:  rebuild infile,outfile -t:MF8 The error appears: REBUILD aborted - File type requires use of o option Resolution: This error appears when the input file is not an indexed file, for example, when the input file is a sequential or relative file.  The purpose of a rebuild command with this general syntax:  rebuild infile,outfile -t:MF8 is to convert an indexed file into IDXFORMAT"8" format, which is often done to facilitate large file support for indexed files. If the file in question is a line sequential, record sequential, or relative file, and is one of the files you are concerned might grow larger than 1 gig for shared access, or 4 gig for exclusive access, then refer to this knowledgebase article: http://community.microfocus.com/microfocus/mainframe_solutions/enterprise_server/w/knowledge_base/17683.file-size-limits-for-server-express-and-net-express.aspx wherein it explains that

I am looking for a way to validate email domains from COBOL in a interactive data entry environment.  In my application users will enter email addresses provided by our customers.  The domain of the email address provided is not always valid.  I am running Server Express on top of HPUX 11.32.  I am familiar with the nslookup command and have written a test program to execute this command calling the SYSTEM subroutine.  I can't seem to get the command to pass back to COBOL a return code and anything for that matter to designate whether the command was successful or not.  Anyone have any ideas how to validate email domain names from COBOL?  Thanks in advance.

Hello, A client of mine has to migrate Cobol from AIX 5.2 to AIX 6.1 but the sources are not well versioned. Is there any possibility to decompile the executable in order to compile them again in the new platform? Is there any other way to migrate the executables to AIX 6.1 without the source code? Thanks in advance.#COBOL#migrate#cobolserverexpress

Out of the blue I started having an issue yesterday when encountering a CBL_DebugBreak. When the break is encountered I get the usual COBOL RTS message     On selecting “NO” process carries on as usual. On Selecting “YES” I get the following memory error   "Execution error:file " error code 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0 114 attempt access beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)   Followed by   C0000005 Access Violation AT 71770278 01:000AF278 c:\\windows\\system32\\MFC42.DLL   I have reinstalled NetExpress from scratch, deleted by development dir and retaken my product install and performed a disc check but still get the issue. The error and event profiler identify MFC42.DLL as the issue. I have performed a binary comparison between this Foundation Classs and the same file on another machine and they are identical suggesting no corruption there.   Any suggestions would be great I have run out of ideas now.       #CBL_routine#cbl_debugbre

Dear friends. Is there any ODBC driver for NetExpress 3.1 for Firebird?

Problem: The application runs fine in Net Express IDE or Net Express 32-bit Command Prompt, but it fails to run from the deployment machine and reports the following error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." Resolution: The above error is usually a result of running a 32-bit COBOL program against a 64-bit COBOL runtime. A 32-bit COBOL application needs CBLRTSS.DLL (for single-thread) or CBLRTSM.DLL (for multi-thread) from C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Server 5.1\\Base\\Bin. If you do not have Server 5.1 installed, then make sure the runtime files, such as CBLRTSS.DLL and CBLRTSM.DLL are taken from either: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Server 5.1\\Base\\Bin C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\Base\\Bin Not from: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Server 5.1\\Base\\Bin\\WIN64 C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 5.1\\Base\\Bin\\WIN64

Hello, I have some licensing questions regarding Net Express 5.1 if anyone with knowledge on this product can help me: 1. In case you have a CPU based license how do you determine the required number of CPU licenses if Net Express 5.1 is deployed on a virtual server (e.g. VMware) ? 2. Do you count the number of virtual CPU's, physical CPU's, physical cores? 3. What if the virtual server is part of a VMware cluster?

Problem: Micro Focus products do not contain any built-in support for MD5 hashing, but it can still be used programmatically. There are no library routines within Net Express to implement MD5 hashing directly.  If you search google for MD5 and COBOL and there are a number of links.  One of these suggests using C to access the MD5 as it is easier than in COBOL.  If so then consider using C and compiling/linking this to a DLL.   You can then access this from COBOL via CALL statements. Resolution: BUILD W/RELEASE:  Net Express v4.0 with ALL07N40      ============ INTRODUCTION ========== We've seen a number of requests for a COBOL implementation of the popular cryptographic hash function MD5.  MD5 is widely used for file checksums and similar purposes. It's also widely used for digital signature hashes and message authentication codes, though due to recent successful attacks it's no longer
