Hi, Can Non-transactional type resource adapter with version (CCIMFCobol_v1.0) used to deploy to WebSphere Liberty? I saw from the documentation (https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/visual-cobol/vc80/EclUNIX/GUID-5E2311E3-D896-493A-AA6E-3B195211AF37.html) that resource adapter (CCIMFCobol_v1.5) can be deployed to WebSphere Liberty. But what about the resource adapter (CCIMFCobol_v1.0)? Does it supports the WebSphere Liberty or it only will work for WebSphere Traditional Server? Please advise. #VisualCOBOL

I'm running in a AVM where there are 8 cores available, I'm using V6 COBOL and VS2017. There are 8 codes sets where 7 are relatively small, and one huge one. The relatively small ones compile in acceptable times. The largest however takes a long amount of time to complete. Is there a way of utilising the idle cores once they have completed to take the load from the one core that runs from a long time? Thanks

Which versions of these products would support native Cobol incremental builds? I have a large COBOL codebase which I don't want to re-compile the full codeset each time? I've read on the forum that this is possible with Eclipse, however I'm limited to using Visual studio at present. Thanks

Hi, I'm doing migration from [Server Express 5.1] to [Visual Cobol 8.0] on Redhat Linux. My target is get the same running results on both sides. But in this case: [PARA1] 's length is only 9 characters but display to 50 characters. then the value of next variable ("WXQSVARS-AREA" and "AIR ") also displayed. But it is fine actually. The problem is running results are not same on Server Express and Visual Cobol. The results are like :  Server Express  : [12345       WXQSVARS-AREAAIR  ] Visual Cobol      : [12345           WXQSVARS-AREA    ] I think the compile command is the same. Could you please help me to find a solution？
