So having a Net Express .exe call a Visual COBOL .dll is opening yourself up to a world of pain and is not a recommended or tested scenario.

Eclipse Visual COBOL Page | Nerds Central

http://nerds-central.blogspot.com/2011/12/eclipse-visual-cobol-page.html What Is Eclipse - Visual COBOL? Eclipse is a major open-source integrated development environment offering a similar level of functionality to Visual Studio (from Microsoft) whilst being largely platform independent due to being written in Java. For more about the amazing Eclipse IDE - see its home page . Micro Focus has created a COBOL plugin for Eclipse. This has been provided as an addition to the Server Express product. In the near future, this will also be joining the Visual COBOL family of COBOL development products (see Visual Studio - Visual COBOL ).

Posted: 02-Aug-2011 at 20:02:33 I am trying to copy a file from one location to another. While on my system this works fine it has an issue on another system. I am using the following: The 057 is the decimal number for 9 and the error code 037 is “File access denied”.

I spoke to develoeprs and they were not sure if what was being done was the best approach, it was suggested that a Structure should be used to pass the data, below I am providing a sample (the developer provided this) for you to use/review: The example provided still does not deal with the POINTER issue – as far as the Client can see. Client really needs an example of passing a pointer between C# (or just .NET ) and COBOL. The internet seems to be devoid of any examples but does suggest it is tricky. http://community.microfocus.com/Forums/3_COBOL__Net_Express_Server_Express_Visual_COBOL/667_How_to_pass_a_POINTER_between_COBOL_and_C_in_NET

Maybe A Lower Barrier Route To Legacy Apps In The Cloud?

http://nerds-central.blogspot.com/2011/07/maybe-lot-barrier-route-to-legacy-apps.html JNI exists for two things: 1 to integrate legacy native code with Java. 2: To allow native code to do things which it does faster or better than Java. But calling Java (or any other JVM language) from native is SLOW. Using functional techniques and method handles we can unlock massive performance gains in this area! Continuations are a way of not having to use the stack but maintaining a program with a logical forwards flow. What they do is say 'do this, when you have finished, do that'. In other words, they pass the chain of control to the thing being called rather than the traditional stack based approach of calling something then calling something else from a central point of control.

Posted: 27-Jul-2011 at 17:08:36 Is this managed code or native code that you are using? How are these COBOL routines being packaged, as separate .dlls or compiled together as one .dll. Is the name of the program that you are calling the same name as the .dll or is it an entry point within the .dll? If this is a managed code project then it can be as simple as adding a reference in the calling programs project to the project of the called program.

Posted: 04-Aug-2011 at 17:13:44 Add a reference in the Form1 project to the Form2 project. Form 1 needs to define a data item to hold the instance of Form2. In this example Form2 will be instantiated from within Form1. The alternative, which is not recommended is to modify the .desigher.cbl file for Form2 and make the controls definition Public so that it is visible to Form1.

Really, this point illustrates the strengths and benefits of moving to managed COBOL, where project references can easily ensure that managed executable code all ends up in the right place. For native projects, we have to do a bit more work. The first, possibly simplest, solution - if it works for you - is simply to direct the output of all of the projects across all solutions into the same folder.

Micro Focus Native COBOL Examples - a knol by Alexander Turner

Micro Focus Native COBOL - What Is It? The Micro Focus COBOL product set provides contemporary and highly productive development environments, and deployment (run-time) support for the creation, maintenance and extension of enterprise applications. One of the things COBOL is really good at is data processing.

Visual COBOL Snippets - a knol by Alexander Turner

A brief introduction of code snippets From Encarta, snippet is defined as a " small piece: a small piece of something such as information or music". In programming sense a snippet can be viewed as a time-saving technique that we as COBOL programmers have been doing for a long, long time. It’s the concept of code libraries or having little pieces of code available in our toolboxes that we use over and over again. It can be anything from a simple date calculation to a read or compute statement.
Aim Of The Knol The main aim of this it act as a single place to find all the links and summaries for all the fantastic resources that members of the Managed COBOL community have and are continuing to put on the web. This knol will grow and evolve as the Managed COBOL community and the resources from that community grows and thrives. Notes
