Hello,  I need to make a program that runs in the background. The goal is to have a program running that, from time to time, will search a database to download new information if it exists. What will be the best way to do it? Best regards Alberto Ferraz

Hi,  I have to do one more integration between my application and a TCP/IP controller. The supplier just sent me the code with the programming of the features in C#, code that I already partially converted to Cobol. Now my question is how and what do I call these features (for example the OPEN and CLOSE functions). I type below a part of the code in C# that was sent to me.using System;using System.Collections;using System.Net;using System.Net.Sockets;using System.Text;using System.Threading;namespace NuxIOAPI2{ public class ANuxIOII : NuxIOBase { protected int nRandomtemp; protected Socket m_clientSocket; //UDP protected AsyncCallback m_pfnCallBack; protected IAsyncResult m_result; protected ArrayList _messages = new ArrayList(); protected IPEndPoint _ipEndpoint; private class SocketPacket { public System.Net.Sockets.Socket thisSocket; public byte[] dataBuffer = new byte[1024]; } public static bool WriteErrorLog(string strText) { System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(strText); string

Dear all, We just converted our zOS cobol version 4 into Micro Focus COBOL  V6.0 revision 000 on Linux.   the XML PARSE won't accept empty attributes. Do we need to test for xml-text length, or is there a setting to tell the parser to ignore empty attributes? Thanks James

IBM Terminals have an "Exit field key". This key will do the following; 1) Erase the field from the cursor position to the end of the field 2) Tab to the next field My question is; Can this functionality be implimented using the ADIS configuration utility and can said functionality be assigned to a key of my choice? I am using Visual Cobol under WINDOWS Thanks in advance for any help#exitfield#VisualCOBOL#adis

When adding a short sleep to a test program I made a simple syntax error. Visual Cobol compiles with no error but Server Express flags an error. Question is if the Visual Cobol compiler is smart or just confused? identification division.program-id. demo1. environment division.configuration section. data division.working-storage section. procedure division.   call "sleep" using by value 5 size 4   on exception      display "first sleep failed"         upon syserr   end-call    call "sleep" using by value 5 length 4   on exception      display "second sleep failed"         upon syserr   end-call   goback. end program demo1.

We have a form in our software that prints on an 6 x 12 sheet of paper.   When you select that paper size in the Windows Printer Defaults pop-up box, how do I get that information to my program??  Right now it still prints as the 8 1/2 x 11 default. Is there something I set before I call "PC_PRINTER_INFO_DOTNET"? I should also note that I can't hard code anything in here specifically for the 6 x 12 because this code is in a print copybook that ALL of our programs that print use. This is my code:                declare status-code as binary-long.               declare testdelegate  as type PrinterInfoDelegate.               set testdelegate to                       delegate(gr as type Graphics,          &nb

Hello, good afternoon, I am working with windows 10, oracle 11 and net express 5.1. Right now when I'm debugging, I get this error. What should you modify or add so that I don't skip. Please explain in detail all the steps to follow, I am new to this program. Kind Regards and thanks in advance

Hi. I'm using Visual COBOL for Visual Studio Personal Edition with Visual studio 2019 and every time I hit F5 the progam says not responding and the closes.

We are currently working with a test license of VisualCobol 7.0 (for Eclipse) under Windows.We would like to upgrade from NetExpress 5.1 and check what problems arise in our application. Our user interface is based on DialogSystem. Everything seems to work except for two cases in which a runtime error 114 occurs when embedding an ActiveX control in a DialogSystem screenset. 1. When attempting to embed the CrystalReports viewer into a screenset, this crash occurs.2. If a control encapsulated by us in VB (VSFlexGrid from ComponentOne) is to be integrated, then this crash also occurs. Interestingly, it doesn't happen in this case if the VSFlexGrid is embedded directly into a screenset without encapsulation. Does anyone know this problem and how can it be fixed?We have included a few more ActiveX controls in our application. None of the other controls lead to this problem.#Windows

Created On:  05 July 2012 Problem: A customer wishes to use a C# program to call an entry point in a native COBOL .dll.  How can a .NET Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) be used in C# to call a COBOL program and pass parameters back and forth? Resolution: There is a demo application attached here called cscallCOBOL.zip.Unzip the demo to your C:\\ drive retaining the folder structure in the zip file.The solution file C:\\cscallCOBOL\\mycobol\\cscallCOBOL.sln contains two projects.The main project is a C# console application which calls the native COBOL project using Platform Invoke.The program passes 3 parameters defined as a stringbuffer, an integer and a structure containing two string fields.These fields are populated by C# and passed to COBOL.COBOL then changes the values and returns to C# where they are displayed to the console.The C# program looks like: using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Runtime.InteropServ

When i use the UNDERLINE clause with USING fields it doesn't display the UNDERLINE unless the cursor is at the field. Is there anyway to ALWAYS display the underline for these fields. The first image is how it looks now. The second image is how i would like it to appear. Thanks in advance for any help. working-storage section. 01 ws-field-1 pic x(10). 01 ws-field-2 pic x(10). 01 ws-field-3 pic x(10). 01 ws-field-4 pic x(10). screen section. 01 my-screen. 05 pic x(10) value "field-1" line 5 col 5. 05 pic x(10) line 5 col 15 using ws-field-1 underline. 05 pic x(10) value "field-2" line 7 col 5 05 pic x(10) line 7 col 15 using ws-field-2 underline . 05 pic x(10) value "field-3" line 9 col 5. 05 pic x(10) line 9 col 15 using ws-field-3 underline . procedure division.

I am using Visual Cobol for Windows Version 7 I have a Visual COBOL SCREEN SECTION FORM with a number of modifiable fields. I use the CONTROL clause to dynamically make fields modifiable or protected When i protect a modifiable field it will still tab to that field. I have tried setting the ADISCF option "Control of whether protected fields are skipped" to skip (2), but that doesn't seem to have any effect Is there any way to get ADIS to skip fields if they are protected? Thanks in advance for any help

If i run a program that uses DBCONNECT/ACU4GL to access an MS/SQL Data base, and it crashes, When I run the program again i get a 9A error. This appears to be because the lock table is not updated to remove any locks. How can i reset the lock table after a crash or should i use another approach? Thanks in advance for any help#locking#VisualCOBOL#dbconnect#SQL#Acu4GL
