MicroFocus Netexpress Cobol on Windows 7

I have a windows 7 professional and I've installed PS 9.1/PT 8.50 on it;
Trying to install MicroFocus Net Express Cobol (5.1 ot 5.0) on Windows 7..
I am unable to complete it, as it says it is needs a prereq of windows xp SP1 or later or windows 2000 sp4 or later etc
Wondering to see if anyone got past through this message or have a workaround?
thanks

To compile COBOL you need a compiler (duh ;)) which is Micro Focus Net Express 5.1 for CC&B.
You can find the required downloads on http://edelivery.oracle.com
Install both Micro Focus Net Express 5.1 and the Wrappack.
Keep in mind it is highly recommended to develop new customizations in Java instead of COBOL.

Installing and Compiling COBOL on Windows

Hi, I am at Installing and Compiling COBOL on Windows of PeopleTools_8.52_Installation_Oracle.pdf. After I typed in (basic syntax from pdf):
CBLMAKE.BAT [] [ALL] [wildcard filename[ALL]] [wildcard filename | wildcard filename without extension[INT | GNT | EXE]] [EBCDIC] [LIST]
This error appears:
'wildcard' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Any advise? Thanks

but now my step is after this already---> cblsrc PS_HOME C:\temp\compile
After this step, it asks me to change directories to the compile directory which i think is (cd C:\temp\compile), and run CBLMAKE.BAT, using the basic syntax..... and I got that error... How can I do about it?

Hello, i am a student of programming and i don't have an idea to how i can run the COBOL in widow 8.1?

You need a COBOL compiler for Windows. There is an free cobol compiler:

Pro*Cobol on VMS

I'm interested in embedding SQL statements in COBOL programs running on VMS. However, all of the documentation that I see mentions running Pro*Cobol on Windows or the Micro Focus COBOL compiler.
How would I go about developing embedded SQL statements on VMS? I.e. do I have to pre-compile the files on a Windows box and then copy them over? Is this possible?
Thanks,
Josh

The HOST command in Forms can only call procedures on the client that runs Forms (assuming you run Forms in client/server mode, this is the user's PC).
If you want to run a procedure on the database host, you have to call this procedure from the database, not from Forms.
In 8i the easiest way is to do this via a Java stored procedure:

CC&B 2.1.0 upgrade of use of Microfucos visual cobol from net express

Would there be any issue of upgrading the use of Microfocus Visual Cobol from Net Express?

Thanks for the link - that's only for gen-key, however. But I do confirm the "--passphrase-fd 0" is supposed to still be working as described in the current docs:
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/man … ic-Options
--passphrase-fd n
Read the passphrase from file descriptor n. Only the first line will be read from file descriptor n. If you use 0 for n, the passphrase will be read from STDIN. This can only be used if only one passphrase is supplied.
So in theory the functionality hasn't changed. :-/

Tuxedo Newbie

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to explore the use of tuxedo into a system that currently runs on cobol and a relational database.
What is the best way to get started with this.
Is there ant step by step guide/reference to develop application using cobol/tuxedo any where ?
Is there a step by step guide/reference of how to configure and build a sample application.
What are the specific products that I need to download from oracle. For cobol I already have Microfocus Netexpress 5.1.
Is it possible that a sample application be build on windows 7 enterprise edition (both middleware/database on windows 7 PC) ?
Regards
PTeng

Hi PTeng,
Probably the best source of information on developing Tuxedo COBOL applications is the Tuxedo documentation itself. There are example applications provided as part of the Tuxedo installation (if chosen at installation time.)
As for products, you would need Tuxedo and Oracle Database (assuming you planning on using Oracle Database as your database.)
Windows 7 is not a supported Tuxedo server platform. It is only supported for use by Tuxedo clients. I believe others here have reported problems trying to run Tuxedo servers on Windows 7. Although not officially supported, Tuxedo servers can be build and run on Windows XP. The only officially supported Windows platforms are the Windows Server editions.
If you have specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask them here.

Call a Java Application from MicroFocus COBOL (in UNIX environment)

Hello,
Could you please let me know, how to call a Java application from a MicroFocus COBOL application. If anyone has any code samples, that would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Tijo.

You generally can't cause a program to be executed on a different >server. Basic security, you know. Besides this idea of having the Java >application run on a different server wasn't mentioned in your original >post. That leads me to believe we don't have the whole story.So I think you need to step back and find out what are the requirements. For example: Does your program need to start this Java application running, or is it already running and your program needs to connect to it somehow?
My program has to start a Java class file, meaning that the Micro Focus COBOL module will call the Java class file. Will it be running on the same machine as your program, or on some other machine?
For both cases, I would like to know the answer.a) Running on the same machine as my program is running.
b) Running on the different machine.
And then there are the questions about whether your program needs to have a conversation with the Java application, or whether it just needs to start it and that's all.
COBOL program has to call a Java class by passing some parameters and Java class in turn process it and return some value back.. Kind of Request and Response model.Plenty of questions to be asked. Go and find out what they are.
Sorry ... if I am not clear on my questions. Anyhow, thank you very much for providing the information.

COBOL client unable to call Tuxedo methods (CSIMPAPP tutorial for Windows 2000 OS)

Hi,
This relates to another post below. I have compiled the COBOL client and the COBOL
server and produced .exes however when I get runtime problems now
I get the message: exec CSIMPSRV -A CMDTUX_CAT:819 INFO: Process id=1912 Assume
started (pipe) but when I do tmadmin/psr, the process is (DEAD)
Also when I run the client I get an error as soon as the client gets to a call
to a Tuxedo method e.g. USERLOG or TPCALL, i get an error message
Load error : file "USERLOG"
error code 173 pc=0, call=1 seg=0
173 called program not found in drive/directoryI have added %TUXDIR% to my path and everything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Colm

Winfried - Thanks for that, this might mean something
These are the steps I take:
Compile the CSIMPCL.cbl file using the COBOL.exe command ( Mcrofocus/NetExpress/bin)
etc
Then
cblnames -v -mCSIMPCL CSIMPCL.obj
buildclient -C -o CSIMPCL -f CSIMPCL.obj -f cbllds.obj
ALl compiles ok - then when I run CSIMPCL.exe I get the error as detailed below
already
Load error : file "USERLOG"
error code 173 pc=0, call=1 seg=0
173 called program not found in drive/directory
However I got mailed a copy of CSIMPCL.obj which had been built with Net Express
4
then
cblnames -v -mCSIMPCL CSIMPCL.obj
buildclient -C -o CSIMPCL -f CSIMPCL.obj -f cbllds.obj as before
When I ran it ( without booting the server - just telling the client to send a
message to the BBL and display a response) it ran fine
so i think the COBOL.exe in Net Express 3 is not creating the obj file properly.
I haven't hooked it up to WTC yet but it should work
Any views you have are much appreciated. I'd be loth to blame a compiler if I
hadn't some variable set but all the environmental variables seem to be in the
path.

Colm,
Looks like a general problem running Cobol to me.
The first message indicates something went wrong during server startup,
see e.g.:
http://support.bea.com/application?namespace=askbea&origin=ask_bea_answer.jsp&event=link.view_answer_page_clfydoc&answerpage=solution&page=tux%2FS-03850.htm
and
http://support.bea.com/application?namespace=askbea&origin=ask_bea_answer.jsp&event=link.view_answer_page_clfydoc&answerpage=solution&page=tux%2FS-16674.htm
The cause for this is probably the same as for other error message.
You should check the settings for running Cobol programs (clients and
servers),
especially the library path.

CC&B 2.3.0 - NetExpress 5.1 on Vista 64

On a new attempted install of CC&B 2.3, I've gotten the following error message line in SPL_WEB.LOG (this is the very first error listed):
- 2010-08-28 20:42:28,071 [JVM 1 ERROR logger] ERROR (cobol.host.ProcessLogger) Exception in thread "Remote JVM:1 Thread 1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: D:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Net Express 5.1\Base\Bin\CBLJVM_SUN.DLL: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform_
[The above comes after the usual Tomcat start, Hibernate items, including cobol.host.CobolHostStartup.]
The hardware is an Intel Duo Core laptop with Vista 64 OS. I've used the 64 bit versions of Oracle 11g R1, and the FW/CCB Win64 zip was downloaded from Oracle (that contains certain MicroFocus folders). No errors were noted in the installs or config.
There were no 64 bit specific folders or files (or install options) in the MicroFocus folders. I can invoke the NetExpress IDE from Vista - I get no errors.
Questions: Has anyone seen this issue previously ? Any ideas as to how to resolve / investigate ? Will this work only on Vista 32 ?

Refer to Note: 887848.1, although it's for CC&B 2.2 and for some other DLL it should work in your case.
ID: 887848.1
The web server of CC&B 2.2 relies on the 32-bit Java platform to function.
The solution is to uninstall the JDK, and re-install the 32 bit versionOn other note, on x86_64 architecture the supported platform for Windows is Win2K8 Server SP2 (64-bit), I'd be reluctant to install CC&B on Vista.

FSCM9.0: Compiling COBOL Issue

Folks,
Hello. I am working on FSCM 9.0 General Ledger module to post Journal entries. I compiled COBOL using this command:
c:\PS_HOME\setup>cblbld c: \temp\compile unicode
The above command is supposed to copy all of source code from "PS_HOME\src\cbl" to "PS_HOME\temp\compile" and then create directory "PS_HOME\cblbinu". But the following message comes up:
"Windows cannot open this file unicode.cfg. To open this file, Windows need to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically. Or you manually select from a list of program on your computer."
I select WordPad to open unicode.cfg and there is only one line in this file that is "[Unicode] Unicode=1".
After that, an error message comes up:"Unicode COBOL compilation proceeding. Logging progress to file c:\temp\compile\CBLBLD.LOG. \temp\compile was unexpected at this time "
Do any folks understand how to fix the above problem ? Exact procedure to compile COBOL for FSCM 9.0 in Windows ?
Thanks.

Please refer to the PeopleTools installation guide for the variables required and compile instructions. Also make sure that you use double quotes (") around the directory names when compiling via a DOS box. When the directory path has spaces you need to double quote the path (ie. "c:\program files\microfocus\").

How to recompile the COBOL files?

Hi All,
Can any one provide documentation for how to recompile the COBOL files by using Net Express 5.1 in command prompt?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Siva Prasad B

1. Set up two environment variables, PS_HOME and COBROOT, on the machine from which you'll compile COBOL. (This should be either your file server or a machine that has access to your file server.) You can do this from a DOS command prompt window.
set PS_HOME=C:\hr840
set COBROOT=c:\netexpress\base
2. Open a DOS command prompt window if you do not have one open already, and change directories to
<PS_HOME>\Setup.
3. Execute CBLBLD.BAT as follows
cblbld <compile drive> <compile directory>
where <compile drive> is the drive where the compile takes place, <compile directory> is the temp
directory where the compile takes place
The CBLBLD.BAT file will create the compile directory for you if it does not already exist.
Note. Make sure to include a space between the <compile drive> and <compile directory> parameters; they are treated as two different parameters within the CBLBLD.BAT batch program. Also ensure that you have write permission to <compile drive> and <compile directory> as the compile process will take place there.
For example, the following command will take the COBOL source from <PS_HOME>\src\cbl and do the compile process under c:\temp\compile:
cblbld c: \temp\compile
Make note of the information that is displayed on the screen while the process is running; it provides the locations of important files that you will need to examine.

COBOL and Java

Hello to everybody.
My problem consist in calling a compiled COBOL module from a Java servlet/program. In Windows I know I usually use the NetExpress library for doing it, but now I have to move in a UNIX environment... Does someone know how to do it inside a LINUX/UNIX environment ?
Thank you very much in advance for your help

And you are going to move the cobol code to the unix box and recompile right? That is the only way the cobol will run on unix.
Java does not talk to cobol.
Java does however do JNI. That allows java to call a C method. C code can do many things. Like talk to interfaces which talk to cobol. I have no idea how to do that.
You might also check the vendor of the cobol that you are running. They might have a java interface. (It will still be JNI but at least you won't have to write it.)
Alternatively if the cobol will remain on the windows box then that is an entirely different story.

Buildclient requires mfrts32.lib, COBOL, Fujitsu Tuxedo 8

When trying to compile under NT 5 (Windows 2000) with Tuxedo 8 and using
the Fujitsu COBOL compiler, buildclient & buildserver are trying to link
in the library mfrts32.lib. This appears to be the runtime library for
MicroFocus Cobol and is NOT part of the Tuxedo distribution. Does
Tuxedo support any other compiler besides MicroFocus? Is there any way
of changing buildclient and buildserver so they don't ask for this
library? Is this a bug in the Tuxedo COBOL support? (If ALTCC can be
used to change the default compiler name, (which won't work under NT5)
and therefore use other compilers besides MicroFocus, is it a bug to
then require mfrts32.lib?)
Thanks in Advance.
