I am attempting to build and load the standard usrsub.c library as delivered with the rmcobol development system. When i execute the built and attempt to run a test program it fails; $ make libusr make[1]: Entering directory '/home/administrator/comms' gcc -m32 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLINUX -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -pipe -fPIC -c -o usrsub.o usrsub.c make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/administrator/comms' ld -melf_i386 -shared -nostartfiles -o libusr.so usrsub.o mkdir: cannot create directory ‘rmcobolso’: File exists make: [makefile:41: libusr] Error 1 (ignored) $ runcobol test.cob -L=rmcobolso/libusr.so RM/COBOL Runtime - Version 12.19 for Linux Intel 32-Bit.

I am using Relativity to define ISAM file.Below is one such exmaple:  File structure [EMPLOYEE] 01  Record-1.      02 EMP-ID         PIC 9(10).      02 EMP-NAME PIC X(30).      02 EMP-DEPT-CODE PIC 9(3). Relativity Definition TABLE : EMPLOYEE EMP_ID      DECIMAL(10,0) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL.. EMP_NAME CHAR(30) NOT NULL. EMP_DEPT_CODE SMALLINT   NULLABLE. When I am trying to INSERT Value. Insert query has only 2 columns. Insert query is failing for null value in EMP_DEPT_CODE. INSERT INTO EMPLOYEEE (EMP_ID,EMP_NAME) VALUE ("ABC","SWAP") My question : Is there a way to DEFAULT Value inserted into the column(s) not passed via Query? I saw Default Value column in File Definition portion of Relativity but it is not editable.  Any help or guidance is highly appreciated. ### Above query is for reference only. Actual query has 100 columns.  #Relativity#RM/COBOL

I've been scouring through the forums looking for information on this. We have a lot of Relativity tables and most of them work great without any errors. Sometimes we've run into problems like: Numeric item in key contains nonnumeric charactersNumeric value out of rangeNumeric item contains nonnumeric characters (this one happens on dates too!) This causes problems as I'm trying to SELECT * on a table and when an error happens, the ENTIRE query is halted (Relativity server on linux, connecting via unixODBC). I found a great post by Tom who explains how you can use the Relativity designer to create a function f(x) IsNumeric() or IsValidDate() to get around some of these errors. This has been a great solution so far - because while we intend to fix the programs that allow this bad data to get into the data files, we also really need something that can just query a table and get very row possible, excluding errors. Again, the programs that introduce these errors should and will be fixed

When doing a fresh installation of RMCobol 12.19 the install.sh fails to find the eula.txt.  I see it in a subdirectory and copied it to the installation directory just incase it was a pathing issue but still install fails to get past that point.  #Linux#RMCOBOL

For non-Windows server platforms, ie all the Linux style platforms is it possible to install separate RM/products on the same machine.If this is possible, how do you do it. Full article: https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000017517#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs

Hi My team have been using a program which allows use to convert INX (indexed or sequential data files) into ASCII, edit rows individually (w/ hex editor), and then convert the modified file back into INX. This process is not the best way of making a change as it requires all users to be off the system, because we need to ensure that the original INX file doesn't change. On my team, I am not the COBOL developer, so I may have some terminology off. We were wondering if RM/Relativity is the best way to make changes to an INX file in-place, or if there is a utility that comes with RM/COBOL that you can run from the linux command-line to edit specific INX files.#RMCOBOL#Linux#COBOL#Relativity#sequential#INX

I have below variable: 01 WS-KEY  05 WS-KEY1 PIC X(08).  05 WS-KEY2 PIC X(50). While trying to read WS-KEY against the file, I am getting file status code of 23 (which means that record is not present). However, when I checked the file, I can see the record. I am suspecting that the WS-KEY2 has junk value somewhere in it which might be leading status code of 23. How can I display the hexadecimal value of WS-KEY (or WS-KEY2 alone) to check if it has any junk value. I tried using HEX-OF function but I believe that may not be relevant for RM/COBOL.

Hello. The file 1-lunes.bat contains the instructions to make a backup and run a program as shown below: CD D:\\catalina-gas\\inventar runcobol.exe averaver.cob c=windows.cfg L=WOWRT.DLL CD D:\\catalina-gas\\creditos runcobol.exe solito.cob c=windows.cfg L=WOWRT.DLL CD D:\\catalina-gas\\pagar runcobol.exe solito.cob c=windows.cfg L=WOWRT.DLL RMDIR /S  /Q f:\\backup\\catalina-gas\\lunes XCOPY /E /I /Y D:\\catalina-gas f:\\backup\\catalina-gas\\lunes   1-monday.bat runs perfectly when it receives a direct clip to the shortcut on the Desktop but if it is placed as a Windows task in task scheduler program script D:\\catalina-gas\\backup\\1-monday.bat the program AVERAVER.COB produces an error: Cobol configuration 410 error processing configuration   My question is: Why does 1-monday.bat run perfectly by clipping a shortcut and produce a 410 error when Windows runs it in the task scheduler?

To ensure that the RM license is valid, the RM products will perform a check with main RM license server. Once the license has been validated it is updated and access to the RM product can continue.What has been seen is that during this process that the RM license vault (the file is called license.vlt) is renamed to a .tmp file, but is not restored to the .vlt extension. This then means that the RM license check fails and an invalid license error is reported back to the user. Full article: https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000014199#SupportTips/KnowledgeDocs

Hi I´m trying to move some tags to a data cobol structure, this tags have occurs. how do i have to refer the data cobol structure at the .xslt. normally its automatic, but If want to parser one by  I have tried these ones and always got error, <xsl:template match="d:Document/d:BkToCstmrDbtCdtNtfctn/d:GrpHdr/d:MsgId[position()=1]">    <xsl:element name="docume54.campo1[position()=1]">    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>  </xsl:element>  </xsl:template>   <xsl:template match="d:Document/d:BkToCstmrDbtCdtNtfctn/d:GrpHdr/d:MsgId[position()=1]">    <xsl:element name="docume54.campo1[1]">    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>  </xsl:element>  </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="d:Document/d:BkToCstmrDbtCdtNtfctn/d:GrpHdr/d:MsgId[position()=1]"> &nbsp

Does anyone know how to define the <Document> tag in the stylesheet when it comes with the attribute <Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:camt.054.001.08">. I only manage to do it when I only leave the <Document> tag, when I add the attribute it returns this error Error: 20[0] - in function: GetRootNode Currently in the stylesheet, I have only implemented this <xsl:template match="Document">   <xsl:element name="Docume54">   <xsl:value-of select="."/>   <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template>

Hello, I'm a rookie of this forum. My name is Giovanni Di Chiara and I write from Italy. I don't know if my problem has already been detected before. I'm tried to use the library InstantSQL for connecting to a MS SQL server via ODBC driver. I use RMCobol for Windows. My Windows is a Windows 10 Pro. When I connect to databasesource and I pass ID and Password wrong, before of error return code on my program, it is opened in automatic there is a Error Messagebox of SQL server and then it opened  the Connection SQL Server Dialog Box. It is prossible to disable the "SQL Message Box" and the "Connection SQL Server Dialog". My program is a service the run on background with no User Interface, the errors I'd like to manage into my program. My source code: "            display "USERDB "     userDB.           display "PASSWORDDB " passwordDB.   &nbsp

CodeBridge as a product was introduced to the RM/Cobol suite of products while there was only a 32-bit version of RM/Cobol. This meant that documentation only contained example command lines for compiling and linking within a 32-bit environment. As time progressed, a 64-bit version of RM/Cobol was released but the CodeBridge documentation was not updated to take account of changes required when compiling and linking a 64-bit application.

It is possible to nest Cobol-IT programs together in the same source module.The -fstatic-call directive tell the compiler that all calls are considered static, ie all programs are in the same executable module.The -fnull-param directive tells the compiler to add a null parameter to end of a call statement.When the two directives were used together and the nested programs appeared in the source code error the following error was reported:Compile error:/tmp/cob12742_5.c: In function <source module>:/tmp/cob12742_5.c:179:5: error: too many arguments to function <called module>(*(int *) (b_10)) = routine (b_19, NULL, NULL);^/tmp/cob12742_5.c:35:5: note: declared hereint routine (unsigned char *);Where:<source module>: - name of the source module that is being compiled.<called module>: - name of a nest program that has been called.

Good Morning, I am using Visual COBOL 8.0 . Trying to compile program part of the remote Project(remote machine is linux 8.5) While compiling the Program for a specific program getting lot of compilation issue. I tried with both RM COBOL and Microfocus as COBOL Dialect but getting lot of compilation issue. Where as even i compiled few other programs with microfocus as cobol dialet and getting them successful. could you please let me know if any additional configuration setting needed for this... for example if you see the WS-PLAN-START-DATE in the above screen print it is there but the compilation gives error saying not declared. could you please advise . Thanks and if you see for this one GRPTMP-GROUP-NUMBER i see this is available in the copybook but still it says not available. Thanks verymuch

Hi –   Does RM/COBOL supports any performance analysis tool something like Marco4 FreezeFrame for Z/OS Cobol.   Such  tool did a sampling of currently running process. Record various parameter like memory usage, input-output operations by each programs in current running process, etc.    #RMCOBOL

I am executing the RM/COBOL but it is presenting me with a problem in the execution:  I can send you the images by mail, but it is related to the following message: Cannot start the RM/COBOL runtime. A Windows COM error occurred: Class not registered (the code is 80040154). To resolve this problem reinstall the RM/COBOL runtime, or register the RM/COBOL runtime with the RUNCOBOL /REGSERVER command. Then a window appears displaying this message Server "rmcbl12r.dll automatic registration failed: The specified module could not be found. Someone from the community is aware of this error since I am not new to the community. Thank you. #RMCOBOL

I have a COBOL program that reads from an ISAM file. For few of the records in this file, a field (say FIELD123) has extended ASCII characters along with ASCII characters (example - 410090¶). When I try to write the record in the output sequential file with extended ASCII character, then the program fails. In order to confirm if this was the issue, I moved spaces to FIELD123 and then tried to write the record. This time the program did not fail.  I need your help with below activities: # How to identify extended ASCII characters? # If there is extended ASCII character in a field, then replace only the extended ASCII character with space but retain the ASCII value from the field Thank you!!

Hi - I have below situation:- Pgm1 [Rm/Cobol] -- > Pgm2 [RM/Cobol] calls API using CALL SYSTEM [curl]. Pgm1 run continuously 24*7[with weekly break of 5 min].    Observation 1. Initially Pgm2 takes very less time. [after restarting Pgm1] 2. With time, Pgm2 execution time keep on increasing. 3. Again, If Pgm1 is restarted then Pgm2 execution time reduces then again start increasing with time. Is there some caching happening ? Is there way I can avoid this situation where need not to restart Pgm1 to reduce Pgm2 execution time? #curl#RMCOBOL

Due to an equipment update I have to reinstall my RM/COBOL85, I have the installation package and the .lic files.
