Rocket® Visual COBOL®

I just want to know that can we use Server Express 5.1 on SuSe Linux 11 or Linux 12. Is it supported on the latest version of SUSE.

 I have been programing for 30 years in COBOL and need to move to Visual COBOL.  Was wondering if anyone have any good suggestions on material to help in this transition since I have very little coding in anything but older COBOLS.  I started with Cobol way back and have done most of my coding in COBOL 85.  

good day Someone has some example, or tutorial or explanation of how I can create a web service in native cobol, where also explain how I generate the wsdl file for a SOAP platform, beforehand a thousand thanks, since I only find information on how to do this process in Eclipse and I can not replicate it in visual#wsdl#Webservices#CobolNative#SOAP#VisualStudio

I want to apply the latest updates fpr VC2015. I have already install the 3.0 and patch 1 . Do i have to install patch 2 first an patch 3 afterwards or install patch 3 only? The same question for Cobol Server too. Can i install patch 3 directly?

I see that with Visual Cobol, one can create websites with Cobol using ASP.NET. Unfortunately, my hosting provider, DreamHost, does not support any Microsoft technologies. Here is a link showing the supported and unsupported technologies on DreamHost. Do you have any recommendations on inexpensive hosting companies which do support ASP.NET? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.#Web#VisualCOBOL

Getting a new CRM in house and need to be able to call an API from a Native Console App and get the information from the database. Wondering if anybody might have a example of a Visual Cobol, Native Console App that calls API (Rest or Soap) and utilizes WSDL to return the information? I cannot go directly against database(s), exec sql as I currently do, I need to utilize an Api or web service.#VisualCOBOL#API#nativeconsole

Hi downloaded a trial version of visual cobol for eclise on suse 12 and installed it on the opensuse environment. The entire installation went fine other than the license part. While installing it gave me the following warning. ./MFLicenseServerInstall.sh: line 2299: [: too many argumentscp: cannot stat '/etc/inittab': No such file or directorygrep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory   When I tried to install the mf license script gave the below error:   linux-ixka:/opt/microfocus # sh ./VisualCOBOL/safenet/MFLicenseServerInstall.sh     -=-==================================================================-=-                        Micro Focus Licensing Installation                            &

Hi,   I have Microfocus Cobol Server 2.2 for Linux and work fine with Suse Linux Enterprise 11.   Now i need install with Suse Linux Enterprise 12 and the screen show: -=-==================================================================-=- Micro Focus Product - Standalone Installer www.microfocus.com pax: Bad Option: -O.Usage: pax cmd [options] file1 ... filen Use pax -helpand pax -xhelpto get a list of valid cmds and options.

I was trying to compile my code through cmd but got the following error. " Error[18]: No license code is available for feature RestrictedNativeChecker on host 127.0.0.1. " Can someone please help. I had installed the trial version just 2 days back.

We have a set of .cbl files in the Linux environment. Have installed Visual COBOL for Eclipse for SUSE. I need to compile the source code and use the executable in the script to run the batch jobs. Will executing the command "cob -z -P Program1.cbl" create a .o file and can we use the .o executable in my script to run the batch like   DD_SYS001=input_file /location/program1.o unix >>outputfile   Is the approach fine? Since I am a novice, can someone please guide me step by step of how to go ahead executing it.

Is there a personal edition of Visual COBOL 2017 ???

I have compiled the cobol programs (.cbl files) using visual cobol for eclipse. After compiling the program I have .int files which are intermediate files. Can I export these to Linux and execute them by UNIX script? If these can't be used directly can someone please let me know how to convert them to .o files ?

Problem: On Linux/UNIX, a server/region in Enterprise Server (ES) would not start.  The error message was: CASCF0052S casstart: Error reading console daemon configuration data Solution: Here is a link into the documentation showing an explanation:http://documentation.microfocus.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.microfocus.eclipse.infocenter.visualcobol.vs2012/GUID-6081411C-F6E2-42BC-8FD8-3C748C9C05A8.htmlIt is a permissions problem with the "system directory" of the server/region, caused by trying to start the server/region using a different Linux/UNIX user-id than the user-id used when the server/region was last started.The system directory is where files such as the console.log, log-1.html, etc. are kept.  The directory is created and owned by the user-id that last started the server/region, and if you try to start the server/region with a different user-id, there will be a permissions problem on the system directory.The quickest way to overcome this problem is to rem

Problem: Programs that use the XML-PARSE directive, fail to compile with an exception 791043 in Visual COBOL version 2.3 Update 2 and 3.0 Resolution: In Visual COBOL 2.3 Update 2 and 3.0, the new parser used by XML-PARSE in XMLSS mode does not recognise the encoding "Windows-1252". Changing the XMLPARSE directive to use XMLPARSE(COMPAT) or changing the XSD's encoding from "Windows-1252" to "ISO-8859-15" can be used as a workaround. A fix for this compilation error will be available in the 4.0 version of Visual COBOL.

I'm using Visual Cobol to access a MySQL Database.   I have the $SET SQL(DBMAN=ODBC) set, and I've even tried setting that in the Microfocus > Build Configurations > COBOL > SQL Preprocessor.   However the compiled executable from Visual Cobol, gives me the following error.             OpenESQL Error: Unable to load ODBC Driver/Driver Manager. Ensure that your     database environment is set correctly.   However if I compile from the Linux command line using "cob -xV Source.cbl" the executable works perfectly.   Its just a convenience thing, but any ideas how to get Eclipse to compile executable programs without resorting to me going to the command line every time?   Thanks for you help.     Eric Boatman

Hi ,Can anyone share a sample program to read xml file using micro focus cobol.

Hi, Do latest visual cobol V3 patch updates always include earlier patches? Thanks, Linden

Thank you for your help. 

 Good morning! As the subject line indicates, I am having a bear of a time activating MF VC PE.  Have uninstalled / reinstalled twice now.  Telling me that my e-mail address is not recognized and then tells me to got to the registration page but there is no registration link (that I can see anyway)...I would think that filling out the initial download info would have "registered" my e-mail address. Please help Thank you for your time Joel Toscano HighFlight56@Cox.Net

As the subject implies: new Windows 10 PC, installed MS VS 2017, installed VC 3.0 for VS2017. Start menu has MF Visual COBOL section, but when expanded there is no "Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 20xx" entry like we have with VC 2.3.2 for VS2013. All of the other entries are there. Tried running repair, successfully, but no change to the Start menu entries. How do we start VC 3.0 for VS 2017?

 Hello, I'm trying to activate the freetrail license for visual cobol for eclipse, but I'm receiving the following messsage:       May I ask you for support on this.   kind regards, Vera

I have recently downloaded Visual COBOL for Eclipse for SUSE 12. While going through some of the installation video they said that I can install DevHub product on Linux and Visual Cobol product on my windows and can connect it remotely and work on it. Can somebody please tell me if DevHub is a separate download from Visual COBOL and if yes, then where to download it from. Can someone please provide the link.
