Hello All, I need you, i would like to say if Net Express 3.1 is certified on Windows server 2008? Thank you in advance

Does Server Express and Visual Cobol support Ingres Database on RHEL? What is the Pre-compiler to be used?

I am getting a compile error staing Invalid Function Name for INTERGER-OF-DATE and UPPER-CASE. They are valid according to the documentation. What is wrong with the code below? MOVE FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DATE(WK-DATE-INTEGER)                          TO      WK-REPORT-ANIC-DATE-INTEGER. Move FUNCTION UPPER-CASE (PMLink-In-Payee-Name)                 To NPAY-NAMEThanks  

I have a class that inherits from an abstract class.  Inside of this class is an abstract method.  In the inherited class I want the abstract method to be private.  When I code override I get an error that says "COBCH0965: Overriding method must have visibility Public" and from my understanding of Visual Cobol is legitimate.  The question comes into play when I use the cobol keyword override it seems to build just fine.  Is this the intent?  Below is an example of the redefines code.       class-id Ufg.Life.Policy.PolicyAbstract abstract. method-id GetPlanCode abstract procedure division returning returningPlanCode as String. end method. *************** now for the class that inherits from the above class class-id Ufg.Life.Policy.InforcePolicy inherits type Ufg.Life.Policy.PolicyAbstract. method-id GetPlanCode redefine private procedure division returning returningPlanCode as String. end method.#VisualCOBOL

Attached is a simple class and a simple console application.  if you look at the TPMixed property it is a type String and the private variable that it points to is a String (doesnt' have Type in front of it).  What happens is when you try to set the property the value doesn't hold, in this case a null value is stored (default value for a string) instead of the value passed to the property.  If you run the attached console application you should see what I mean.   #VisualCOBOL

Dear Sir, I get the error enclosed using  Visual Cobol for Visual Studio. Many thanks in advanced. PJM

A class had a method that used WORKING-STORAGE instead of LOCAL-STORAGE.  I created in instance of the class and set a variable in WORKING-STORAGE to a value, then finalized the instance.  I then created a new instance of the class and called the method.  The value from the last instance carried over into the new instance.  Is this expected behavior ?  It behaves the same way in Visual COBOL and Net Express 5.1. I fixed this by using LOCAL-STORAGE instead of WORKING-STORAGE.

Hello, We just did a fresh installation of VC for Eclipse under Windows 7 64 bits and here is the error message : An internal error occurred during: "Initializing Java Tooling".com/microfocus/eclipse/project/content/FileTypeHelper This is the first start of the program. We tried after having suppressed the workspace. Sme thing. I saw that someone had the same problem under Linux. Any idea what it might be ? Kind regards, MR

I have two solutions running on one server, one is a managed code windows based application, the second is old mainframe code that is running in naïve code.  My managed code application runs fine, but when I try to start one of the naïve code program .exe, I get an error message 245 no valid product license.  Do I have something setup incorrect?  Confused how one solution can find the license but not the other. Thanks
