I am new to Visual COBOL and I want to create a simple winform (managed COBOL) that will read an AcuCOBOL vision file located on a windows machine. Are there any small examples out there where I can see how to set up a program that will do this?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Mgarner, couple suggestions for you to refer to:

This shows how to access ACU and RM files from Visual COBOL:

documentation.microfocus.com/.../index.jsp

And for WinForm tutorials, we have several UI samples to choose from including this getting started guide:

When I try to open the extend vision file i get a 9/nnn file status error (nnn=198) is that an issue with my vision file or am I missing something in the set up?

Have you set the EXTFH environment variable to point to a extfh configuration file?  If so what is the contents of the configuration file?

I have found that the 9/198 error when reading a vision file is a result of compiling the application for "Any CPU" on a 64 bit windows machine.  The fix that I have used is to change the "Platform target" on the COBOL configuration page for the project to "x86"

I did not set to point to an external config file, I added IDXFORMAT"17" to the additional directives

Does this effect tha ability to run the process on a 64 bit machine

No.  The application will run fine on a 64 bit machine.  The reason that it needs to be compiled for x86, as I understand it,  is that the "vision file handling libraries" are 32 bit.
