Currently we have code that runs in a 64-bit  , Net express 5.1 , and windows 2008 R2 environment  ,  we are looking to upgrade to windows 10 or windows 12  and run the code there using NETX51 , but have sporadic issues running the programs under a WINDOWS 10 environment , so for the time being we have compiled the programs in windows 2008 , and run the executable on WINDOWS 10 , by setting the compatibility mode to windows 8, But going forward windows 8 is not going to be supported , so  how do we  do this COBOL CODE  migration developed under MF 64-bit  NETX51 to Windows 10 , or 12  without going to VISUAL COBOL.

 

Is there any special lines of code that can be added to the source COBOL programs to make it run under WINDOWS 10 .

 

 

Appreciate any help.

Hi Emmasu,

You're probably aware that we built the Net Express product using Microsoft build tools and the associated c-runtime environment which dates back to around 1997 - although probably a combination of things, some of the issues you are seeing are likely to be a result of this level of tooling.

If you're having challenges moving to Visual COBOL, please feel free to get in touch with me directly to discuss these further.

Regards, Scot Nielsen

Hello Scott

We do not want to move to visual COBOL, so how could we make MF Cobol windows 2008 R2 DLL work correctly under Windows 10 or 12.
thanks
