I was at a breakpoint in my managed code program and I was looking at the properties listed for a menu strip.  One of them was "DisplayedItems" with a heart shaped icon beside it.  It is a collection and I can see the items in the collection at the breakpoint.  I would very much like to use the information in this collection in my program but that property is not available to my program.  Why not?  If my menu strip is too wide to see in my window, I would like to increase the width of my window.  This collection would tell me if any of the menu items are not displayed.  ------------------------------Lee RobinsonSoftware Development ManagerNew Hampshire Admin Office of the CourtsConcord NH US------------------------------

Customer is in the process of migrating our customer's COBOL application (Visual COBOL) from a physical RHEL 7.9 server to a VMware-based RHEL 8.10 environment. The customer is currently using a High Availability (HA) clustering setup with NFS as the mount point for data storage in their RHEL 7.9 environment.As they are moving to VMware, the customer has the following concerns and questions regarding the HA clustering and management of data files in the new setup:Handling HA Clustering in VMware:What are the best practices for handling HA clustering for the virtual machines (VMs) in VMware, particularly concerning data files that are shared among multiple VMs ? How do we ensure seamless failover and VMotion of VMs while maintaining access to shared data files during maintenance or failures?VMware HA Considerations for Active-Active / Active-Passive Configurations:For Rocket COBOL, can you provide guidance on configuring HA clustering in an active-active or active-passive mode for the V

I am a 35+ year COBOL programmer and I would like to create some programs for personal use at home.    I have tried other languages but I am most comfortable with COBOL.    How can I get a copy of VCPE?   Looks like every one I find on the Internet is for retired versions of Studio.

We are working with a 3rd party and they will need to get data to the repository on a regular basis.  The third party uses an AWS storage solution, S3, which uses an access key-pair to access. We are currently on version 5.0 of Visual Cobol - does that version handle something like this, or would we have to upgrade to 10 first?  Would we maybe have to write it in something like .net?------------------------------Amy McDonoughSenior Software DeveloperN.

Hi, I've got something like this in my .pco file : EXEC SQL   SELECT TO_CHAR(CAST(RTRIM(Varchar2_11_char_Column) AS DECIMAL(10,2)), 'S9999999D99') from table INTO :hostvar_x_11 END-EXEC. I get compiler error COBCH0803 : 000576:PLS-103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following: . ) , @ % defaultsymbol The symbol ")" was substituted for "(" to continue. It compiles fine with the TO_CHAR and RTRIM but when I add the CAST, it won't compile anymore.Should this work? Any ideas anyone?

You'll find it here: cs2cobol.rocketsoftware.com If you did a double take at that and are wondering why you might need such a tool, let me explain... Visual COBOL allows you to compile applications directly to .NET bytecode - or even JVM bytecode - opening up a world of possibilities for integrating COBOL with these platforms and other languages. It's not just Java or C# developers who get to enjoy these ecosystems; Visual COBOL developers can tap into their libraries and functionality too. That's where this tool comes in. If you come across a snippet of C# code online and wonder how to express it in COBOL, the C# to COBOL Converter will help bridge the gap. Give it a try! using System; namespace CsharpString { class Test { public static void Main(string [] args) { // create string string str = "C# to COBOL"; Console.WriteLine("string: " + str); // get length of str int length = str.Length; Console.WriteLine("Length: "+ leng

you will no be able to run or compile any cobol program in vs code even you have installed the learned cobol extension or other cobol plugging , here is the error message  Micro Focus COBOL Version 7.0 (C) Copyright 1984-2021 Micro Focus or one of its affiliates.

Trying to connect odbc driver from Unisys from visual cobol, getting the error "x114 item beyond access item beyond bounds of memory (signal 11)".  I have crated a system dsn  and trying to connect from cobol program like :  EXEC SQL               CONNECT TO :svr USER :usr-passEND-EXEC I also tried to use the below format : STRING 'DRIVER={Unisys MCP ODBC Driver(x86)};'            'SERVER=xx.x.xx;'            'PORT=2012;'            'DATABASE=test;'            'USER=xxxx;'            'PASSWORD=xxxxx;' INTO BUFFER.     EXEC SQL       CONNECT TO :BUFFER     END-EXEC. The above is not recognizing the system DSN created and it is giving error  "The data source not found and no default driver specified" but while testing on the "ODBC data Source application", the connection is working fine.   Could some one help with what is needed to support unisys data source.    ------------------------------Kayal vizhiRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

To determine and qualify a database driver and to make sure it works well with Visual COBOL, is there a specific set of COBOL examples available that cover various scenarios? If yes, could you please point out the link or way to access it.  ------------------------------Kayalvizhi GanesanUnisys Corporation------------------------------

Hello,  I'm converting an application from an equipment supplier, and he provided me with a C# source. I tried to convert from C# to Cobol, using the "OpenText C# to Micro Focus Visual Cobol Translator" tool, but it is giving me an erro in one of the parts. The original source:         public async Task<InitialResponse> InitiateOperationAsync(string baseUrl, PaymentRequest paymentRequest)        {            string payJson = JsonSerializer.Serialize(new            {                PAY = new                {                    posto = paymentRequest.Posto,                    operador = paymentRequest.Operador,                    valor = paymentRequest.Valor                }            });             string requestUrl = $"{baseUrl}?PAY={payJson}";             try            {                HttpResponseMessage response = await _httpClient.GetAsync(requestUrl);                response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();                 string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAs

I need to find out how to, if possible, access the physical name of a file, eg; ACCOUNTS20250211 please.------------------------------Peter OFlanaganConsultantRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

This may be my ELI5 moment, but I'm trying to make a correct list Visual Studio 2019 -- 32-bit product, Visual Cobol 7 for Visual Studio 2019 -- 32-bit product Visual Studio 2022 -- 64-bit product, Visual Cobol 9 for Visual Studio 2022 -- 32-bit product (installed to program x86) Visual Studio 2022 -- 64-bit product, Visual Cobol 10 for Visual Studio 2022 -- ??-bit product Why do I wonder this ? We use Oracle with pro*cob precompiler and depending on your solution you need an instant client of the correct type 32/64. Having a 64-bit solution with a 32-bit product comes with a performance cost so you usually avoid that. We also use Toad, nowadays a 64-bit product. Normally not a problem unless you want to configure proxy logins which requires a thick client, not the built in. Now you need 32 and 64-bit Instant Clients on the same machine which is a configuration problem since VS/VC want one thing and Toad another. It would be nice to be all 64-bit and able to ignore that headache. So

Hi,  We are trying to evaluate the "Unisys ODBC driver "  (ODBC driver connector) to support for Visual COBOL.  In visual cobol document :ODBC Structure, we came across the DRVTST32.EXE under this document. Could you please help me with details of    a. Can the DRVTST32 utility be used to validate our ODBC driver and validate whether it will work with visual Cobol ?    b.  Where to download & how to install the DRVTST32.exe?     c. Is there any special license is required for using DRVTST32.exe ?  thanks, Kayal------------------------------Kayalvizhi GanesanUnisys Corporation------------------------------

Hi, I am changing an existing, working Oracle Pro*Cobol, Visual COBOL program. I was able to change 2 .cpy COPY files and compile. I was able to change 1 .cob INCLUDE (EXEC SQL) file and compile. Now, whatever I change in any .cob file, I systematically get the same compiler errors: COBCH0562 : An "ELSE" phrase did not have a matching IF and was discarded. COBCH0564 : A scope-delimiter did not have a matching verb and was discarded I have tried everything I could think of up to introducing my changes again line per line but with the same result. I am desperate and out of ideas. Did any of you ever experience something similar and what was your solution?

Hi, We currently have a Net Express based application with a .Net frontend communicating through CCITCP. I've been tasked with converting the app to managed COBOL using VC10. So, wanted to ask if the correct approach is to replace CCITCP with smartlinkage  and if anyone has already done this. I've previously used an older version of VC for Java and went down the wrapper class approach. Any feedback would be much appreciated. ------------------------------Doug MclellanDevelopment team leadAccess Uk LtdLoughborough GB------------------------------
