cobol >> Fujitsu NetCOBOL and winXP SP2

by Pete Dashwood » Fri, 20 May 2005 08:06:26 GMT

Having just set up a couple of notebooks for friends, that use XP (SP2) I
thought I might upgrade my 'old' notebook (the one with COBOL on it) to
this level also.

I seem to recall some people having trouble with COBOL after doing this and
I'd like to know if anybody has any experience in this area?

If you have had some problems with NetCOBOL (I'm running version 6) and win
XP Pro (SP2) could you please post here?

If you don't want to go public, please mail me privately.

Thanks for your help,

Pete.

It surprise you to know that I have a laptop here with XP SP2 and
NetCobol 6. It appears to work OK doing a simple compile, debug and
run, but I haven't exercised it fully.

The laptop normally boots into Mandrake 10.1 and I have just upgraded
this to Mandriva (Mandrake 10.2).

We run XP-SP2 on all our production machines. FJ COBOL 6.1 works without a
hitch (compiling and executing). We have 300+ clients running our software
on differing versions of Windows (including 2003 Server), also with no
problems.

I too was runningCOBOL 6.1 with XP Pro without a hitch

The only issue (actually concern) I have, and you should be carefull of
this, is when your PC / Laptop freezes and you can't do anything about
this.. which means you need to approach Fujitsu to send you a new license..
so far they have been great with me to say the least, more so since I
purchased a new laptop late last year which proved to be a "lemon" (6
rebuilds so far)

Hi,

Any Fujitsu NetCobol / PowerCobol users here?

I'm using PowerCobol 8.0 and MySql 5.1 with MySQL ODBC 3.51. To access the 
database I create a user or system DSN and this works. But what I would 
really like to not have to create the DSN and connect DSNless, like I do in 
c# and vb.net. Does anyone here know how to do this in PC?

Thanks!

It's a cobol main program, which inputs from a Line Sequential data file and
then calls a C++ function.  I'll post the code if necessary.

8. Problems with calling unmanaged C code from Fujitsu NETCOBOL programs 

      Hi!

      I am doing my first steps with .NETCOBOL. Now I have the following
problem:
      I have to call an unmanaged C function from a managed NETCOBOL
program. The function has got one parameter that is defined as void* resp.
char*. I need to pass COBOL different types of groups (having of course
different lengths) to this function, e.g.
      01 TEST1
         05 F1 PIC S9(9) COMP-5.
         05 F2 PIC X(10).
      01 TEST2
         05 F1 PIC S(9) COMP-5.
         05 F2 PIC S(9) COMP-5.
         05 F3 PIC X(20).
      ...
      I have made prototype definition with the first group definition and
this worked fine. But I can't make a prototype definition for all possible
group definitions that I want to pass to my C function. How can I write a
prototype with the definition of a variable length parameter?
      I have tried to use POINTER and some other dirty tricks but no
success. Anyone her with a good idea or solution to my problem?
