Hi,

in our company we are testing conversion our Net Express project to Visual Cobol. We success in project conversion, we can compile our programs, produce .gnt and .idy file.

But when I try to run it (we are developing module for Infor SunSystem) program crashes, I think we don't have our new Visual Cobol project setup correctly. In Net Express 5.1 we have this project directives: %FILENAME COBIDY(%TARGETDIR) WB3 WB CSI ANIM EDITOR(MF2) ENSUITE(3) SQL(DBMAN=ODBC) SQL(NOAUTOCOMMIT) SQL(NOCHECK) SQL(NOINIT) SPZERO;

And we have info from Infor that we need to use wrap pack 10.

Is there even possibility to setup Visual Cobol in this way?

We are using it thru Visual Studio 2015

Thanks.

Copying product or system DLLs to your program folder is not recommended. The DLLs should be left in their proper locations. If PATH and COBPATH are set correctly in the program's environment, the runtime will find and load them.

From your description above it appears that you are trying to call Visual COBOL executables directly from a Net Express main program. This may work if you are creating a new process using CBL_EXEC_RUN_UNIT in which to run the VC programs but it will not work if you are trying to call VC programs directly using the COBOL CALL statement.

You will need to recompile your entire application using Visual COBOL if the programs are being run within the same run-unit.
