Good morning,I'm new to the forum, a query because the method does not appear MessageBoxResult?Any doubt I am to order.regards, Oscar Velasquez G.Panama

Need to convert this program in C# for Cobol can anyone help me to understand what I need is to make a routine that it is reading a particular folder and when you input files it shows me, this routine found on the Microsoft website.thanks, sorry for the English, translated by Google. using System;using System.IO;using System.Security.Permissions; public class Watcher{     public static void Main()    {    Run();     }     [PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")]    public static void Run()    {        string[] args = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();         // If a directory is not specified, exit program.        if(args.Length != 2)        {            // D

FileChangeNotifierVC.zipProblem: Is it possible to monitor a specified folder or filename for any changes that may occur from within a Visual COBOL Windows Forms application? Resolution: Yes it is possible to monitor either a specified folder or filename for any changes and to fire an event when a change does occur by using the .NET System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class in conjunction with a timer event. There is a demo program attached to this article called FileChangeNotifierVC.zip. Please unzip this to your computer retaining the folder structure in the zip file. Open up the FileChangeNotifierVC.sln file in Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2.2 update 2 or higher. This is a Windows Forms application that will monitor the file system for changes to a specified folder or filename and will report those changes in a ListBox control on the form. The contents of the main form program are shown below: *--------------------------------------------------- * FileChangeNo

Problem: The Just-In-Time debugging options are disabled and cannot be changed, and the following error occurs when attempting to check any options:"Just-In-Time debugging registration errors detected. Run Visual Studio repair, or run 'vsjitdebugger.exe /regserver'." Resolution: This is one of the problems that may occur when Visual Studio is not installed with administrator credentials. Administrator credentials are only required to install Visual Studio, but a regular user may use Visual Studio after installation. Here are the steps to resolve this issue:1. go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx > Visual Studio Tools2. right-click on Visual Studio Command Prompt (20xx)3. click on Run as administrator4. execute the command: vsjitdebugger.exe /regserver5. go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx6. right-click on Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx7. click on Run as administrator8. click on Tools > Options > Debugging &

Hi all, Hope all is well. I just have a query about printing to pdf.  Basically, we moved from Net Express to Visual Studio 2010 a short while ago. Some of our programs stayed as native code. One of these prints to an Adobe pdf file using Courier New font but with mixed font sizes. The program worked fine in Net Express but is terribly slow to run in Visual Studio. What took a minute or two on the old system is taking 20 minutes in Visual Studio. The issue is definitely due to the font size as changing everything to print the same font size means the Visual Studio program runs fine. It's not ideal if we have to do that which is why I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution? Many thanks if you can help! Another thing I noticed with pdf printing in Visual Studio is blank line spacing seems to be greater than in Net Express, causing our report lines to "creep" down the page. It meant I had to adjust the page overflow lines. Again, I didn't expect to have to do t

I was trying to test out some code in regards to the date in Visual Studio Cobol and I temporarily changed my system date on my computer. Now when I try to start VS I get "Unable to obtain the requested license Error 26: Request denied due to clock tamper detection". Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? The email I used to activate VS Cobol is tye_huggins@stu.indianhills.edu. Thanks for any help.#COBOL#VisualStudio#Error26-productlicenceclocktamper

I got MySQL installed, but I think it would be more convenient for me to use the SQL I already got.#SQL#VisualCOBOL#COBOL#SQLWizard

I am looking for but cannot find a function that will return the contents of a folder (i.e. the filenames that are in the folder) back to my NATIVE COBOL program I have looked through the File Handling Library Routines and none of those seem appropriate The MS-DOS DIR command does this - is there a VC equivalent to the old DIR command? I have MF VC P/Edit 2.2 with V/Studio 2012 on Windows 8.1

I ran into this error as I was defining my file. My file has 1435 fields and I got this error right around the 850 feild. If I use just 849 fields defined it works fine. Once I use the 850 field I get the error.  Any suggestions on how I can fix this error and continue on. Thanks Chris

I have just converted a NetExpress to Visual Cobol 2012, and when I start the project, I get an error message that CBLRTSS.dll is not found.  I have looked in the BIN64 folder and it is not there.  Did I miss a download or a directive in the conversion?

We have just converted to Visual Cobol from RM.  Since we've gone live about a week ago we have users calling to complain that they are locked up in programs.  We're finding if one user is in a program that opens a record for I-O and another user is trying to run a report that uses the same record, the report program gets locked up, even though the report is only opening the file for Input.  RM did not display this behavior - in RM as long as the reporting program was opening the file for input then the report could be ran.  We're looking for a way around this. We found Visual Cobol documentation on line that references doing a read next-record with ignore locks  but we get a compile error on the word ignore.  We are running native code on Red Hat Linux.#help#rm#COBOLVISUALCOBOLMIGRATION

We are running Microfocus Cobol in a Linux Environment and recently upgraded to VisulCobol 2 2 1. We have discovered a couple of things where this version is acting in a different way compared to our old one. I have one example that I would like to share. Maybe someone else has faced the same problem. example: 01     W-INIT    PIC X(20) VALUE '1234567890ABCDEFGHIJ'. 01     X1          PIC X(20) VALUE SPACE. MOVE W-INIT TO X1 MOVE X1(10:10) TO X1(11:10)     After the second MOVE X1 will contain '12345678900000000000' . It seems like the tenth position,"0" in this case, will duplicate into position 11 and 10 positions forward. This is a different behaviour compared to our previous version where it worked fine. If moving to a new variable it works fine, but if you are trying to move around within the same variable you get thi

I want to convert a NetExpress solution that has dialog system screen into Visual Cobol,  I have the Visual cobol on a separate laptop than the current NetExpress project.  Is there a standalone DIalog systems download that I can install on my new laptop to look at the screens for the new solution?

I'm currently working in an RM Cobol environment, and working my way into Visual COBOL. I have a question concerning adjusting the file/record size of existing systems. For example if a record is 1024 Bytes, and more fields need to be added. I currently write a conversion program to convert the file to the new size (Basically creating a new file with the improved layout and moving the old record to the new file). Then I update all the systems that use the file to the new size and layout. Which can be a pain if its very popular file layout. We don't use copybooks (boss has a horror story about helping a city with Cobol who had sources but all the copy books where missing). I was just wondering how you could, with Visual Cobol, do the same thing? And how would you track down which programs need to be rebuilt, in a Visual Cobol world. Finding the programs in RM is as simple as doing a search in the Source Directory for all programs that use the name of the file. But since Visual COBOL us

Problem: I want to run .NET COBOL applications on my workstation without COBOL Server installed locally. How do I configure this to run a .NET COBOL application from a network COBOL Server installation?   Resolution: To run a .NET COBOL application from a network server You can deploy a .NET managed COBOL application on a network server so that all workstations that are mapped to the server can run the application without the need to install COBOL Server 2012 locally on each workstation. Note: Throughout this topic, the installation folders should include the correct name of the targeted deployment product - COBOL Server, COBOL Server 2012, or COBOL Server 2013. Before you can configure your .NET COBOL application, ensure that: COBOL Server 2012 is installed and licensed on the server. The workstations that are accessing the server on the network have the necessary permissions. (see Trust issues below) If your application also uses native code components, you need to setup the lic

hello , I wonder if it is possible comparisons between datagridview thanks

Back in my NetExpress days I could look at the contents of an ISAM file using the Data File Editor.  Research indicates that that tool is also available in Visual Cobol, however I cannot seem to figure out how to install it.  I'm running version Visual COBOL 2010 R4 Version 1.3.20019. at the moment, and I have a full license.  I plan to upgrade to VC 2.2 in the near future, but we're going through something of an infrastructure upgrade here and I'm stuck with a PC running WINXP at the moment. I've gone through the standard upgrade screens on the MicroFocus web site, but I can't seem to find the right path to get the Data File Editor for my version of WC.  Can you please perhaps point me in the correct direction to get me started, and let me know if there's anything I need to know prior to installing it? Thanks!

I have 2 separate solutions in the attached zip.  One solution - NatCon1 - contains 1 native project - NatCon1. The other solution - ManWin1 - contains 2 managed projects - ManCon1 and ManWin1. These are intended to demonstrate:  1) a native-calling-managed scenario (based on your CCW concept, but using separate solutions), as well as 2) a managed-calling-managed scenario (within the same solution).  Here is the weird behavior - in VS2013, when using native NatCon1 Program1 to call managed ManWin1 via "Start Debugging", it appears to honor the forced default setting of the focus onto the Exit button on ManWin1 Form1.  (see the "invoke button1::Select().").  But, when doing it via "Start Without Debugging", it appears not to honor the [attempted] forced focus onto that Exit button.  The debugging aspect would be associated with the native project, not with the called managed project, so I am confu

Hi, Is there any way to create a managed dll in Visual studio using the CBLLINK utility.? Earlier in our Net Express project we used to create dll using the command: cblLink -d -s -oxyz.dll @xyz.lnk . This command creates a native dll. Is there any way to create a managed dll using the same procedure. I do not wish to use the IDE for dll creation.

Hi These are the default directives which are set in NE. %FILENAME COBIDY(%TARGETDIR) WB3 WB CSI ANIM EDITOR(MF2) ENSUITE(3) nobell errq errlist rawlist linkcount(1024) bound perform-type(osvs) retrylock align"4" I need to replicate these directives in Visual COBOL. Can anybody help in explain the meaning of these directives. specifically " %FILENAME COBIDY(%TARGETDIR) WB3 WB CSI ANIM EDITOR(MF2) ENSUITE(3)" Thanks!

The Micro Focus Developer doc related to CBL_GET-CURRENT-DIR suggests this:   "Use the "BY VALUE LENGTH OF directory-name SIZE 4" construct to pass the name-length parameter."  Based on the explanation in the doc, if I have a MY-DIR-NAME PIC X(80 and a MY-DIR-NAME-LENGTH PIC 9(4) then I can MOVE LENGTH OF MY-DIR-NAME TO MY-DIR-NAME-LENGTH in order to initialize it to a value of 80 in this example.  My question is about the terminology and concept of the "Use the "BY VALUE LENGTH OF directory-name SIZE 4" construct.  I would like to see an example of this and/or any links to doc explaining this concept behind this construct. Thanks! OK, Update. I now can see how it might be used.  Instead of setting up an actual MY-DIR-NAME-LENGTH variable in working storage to be initialized with the length of MY-DIR-NAME, you can just use the expression "BY VALUE LENGTH OF MY-DIR-NAME SIZE 4" as a phrase at

???  It appears that the Supprt-Line Incident Reporting entry form is suddenly not recognizing "serial number", "product", etc., which this info is no doubt apparently tied to my authorized log-in.  These fields are not defaulting nor will they allow entry. This was working last week, as I entered an Incident last week with no problems. ??? Also, when you review existing incidents, they have an incorrect date on them.  For example, an incident I entered last week now shows a December 2015 date on it. Thanks, Austin
