Just curious, maybe some old timers could help me out. I am working with a company that is migrating 20 years of Mainframe Software Development to Unix, HPUX. How much harder would it be to go to Linux, Centos Linux? Also, anyone have any experience with Fujitsu Cobol on Centos? The Fujitsu people only support Red Hat, and said I'd be on my own with Centos. In other words if it works,

I have a sort of legacy application based on Acucobol, that is using a samba 3 share for its application data files. I need to migrate it, going to release 6.2.0 of acucobol. In my tests it seems that I get some errors regarding files access: the program actually doesn't give particular errors, neither samba backend... (the problem resides in having some vcprint layout models for invoices

Hi, Has anyone on this list had any success with installing and using Open Cobol on RH or CentOS? Any pointers would be very welcome. I have Googled and am working with Vince on the Open Cobol mailing list to try to resolve installation problems. ChrisG

I am configuring samba to connect 10 PCs with windows 95 and access data from a linux server. Most of the programs, even when they are DOS based programs that have been installed on linux and accessed from windows 95 seem to work fine. But when i try to run a cobol account application from Windows95 accessing data from linux, the program runs but a FILE SHARING VIOLATION MESSAGE appears on the

I have recently installed a SAMBA server on a LINUX server to be accessed by Windows 95 workstations. All other DOS based applications ran perfectly via samba but there's a COBOL accounting application I cannot make it run fine. Everytime I run it and try to execute any transaction, a COBOL SHARING VIOLATION error message appears on the screen and takes me back to the prompt. I have already

Hello, I'm not a list subscriber, so please send messages to edilson@maxihelp.com.br First of all, sorry about my bad English. I'm trying to use a Linux box with samba 3.0.4 configured as an standalone file server. I have a Cobol application (AcuCobol) that is running ok on Windows 98 workstations, with data files at Linux. When I try to run the same application on a Windows 2000 / XP

Hi all I'm trying to use my Cobol aplication with Smba but i'm getting A LOT OF "OPEN" errors... lookslike system is (or isn't) looking files for read/write. Anybody had this problem? PS: this program isn't mine, it's just for my company made by third company.

Good day , some time I 've been having problems with samba and shared cobol files, the system freezes at random, and the only solution is to restart the samba service, or on some occasions restart the server , I tested with oplocks no results, smb.conf attached my settings. Thanks. [global] server string = %h server map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions =

I have found that the shortcut I add to the windows machines has a few options added to it for it to run. eg: T:\Acucorp\Acucbl620\AcuGt\Bin\wruncbl.exe -c lawpac.cfg lawstart.cbx T:\ is the network mapped folder that is accessible after logging on to the servers with Novell Client, this folder may also be seen on suse using the client. the shortcut location is here: H:\TREVOR\LawpacWindows

Hi, my name is Jose Mendoza and I just mount a SAMBA 2.2.7 over Red Hat 9.0, that give to our administrative software a very good performance over the Novell server that we haved but now I'm receiving a lot of error index messages from my administrative software, I was reading about Oppportunistic Locking and I configure the Samba for that but I still having the same problem. Do you have an

Howdy, I am trying to run a Cobol Compiler through wine. I am running RH7.3 with a current wine release. My directory structure is /usr/share/wine-c/COBOL/. I have been successful in running other applications through wine, but not ones that require a PATH= entry. My problem is: it's looking for an entry in the PATH environment variable that includes 'C:\COBOL' which stores

Hello, I'm running microfocus acuthin.exe with wine. The program crashes every time i do a certain action involving a grid element in cobol. I'm no programmer, can't understand what the debugger is trying to say. Can anyone make sense of it? Can I replace a dll or something? Or configure wine? Please ask questions if something is missing. Thanks in advance: Here's the info wine

Hi, I am a COBOL programmer and I am busy teaching myself Rails and Ruby. In COBOL I can code this conditional If x = 1 next sentence else .......................... The "next sentence" statement enables me to get out of the conditional. How would I code the same thing in Ruby? In C you could use break but I understand that Ruby has no break statement.

Hi everyone. I have a problem running a Windows appilcation with wine. The application is a Acucobol program. When I run "wine wrun32.exe myprogram" it works ok. When I run "wine wrun32.exe -C config.cfg myprogram" wine says myprogram doesn't exist. Any help? -- Marcelo Arroyo

Hi, I've been looking at the new AVR backend lately, and one issue I've found is that all 'load' IR instructions are matched using the 'ld' AVR instruction, including 'load's for lookup tables generated from switches. On the AVR architecture, RAM and the program image are in completely separated namespaces. There's a distinct 'lpm' (Load from Program

Mrs.; I have a 16-bits Cobol program running at Novell 5.1. I'm migrating the whole network (around 150 terminais) to Linux + LTS processing DOSEMU into cluster and making a storage server just for data. My surprise last week was that the smbfs client for Linux doesn't support the file locking, after googling, found that a solution would be to use CIFS instead SMB and upgrading the

Hi guys, A costumer is trying to run a cobol application in a VM. So far, so good. The problem is that when I set the $TERM variable to linux, and run the program, I get: /opt/cobol/bin/cobrun: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I put TERM=xterm, I can successifully run the program. It also works with TERM=vt100,

Hello Paul, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am only looking for dwarf support at the moment and planning to support both PLI/COBOL decimal types. Also thanks for the suggestion, you are right as it is going to be rare cases, so it will be better to implement a separate subclass to avoid memory overhead for others. >> (Somebody is actively working on scaled binary operations, although they
