Assuming you are working in the acubench, the first thing after creating the list box window is to go to the property window and set up the columns setting. Ted

Here is another possible solution. This was in Acucorps newsletter for June. Ted =================================== File Access to Windows Shared Files =================================== On Windows systems, the speed of file access to Vision files located on a Windows shared drive can...

Using Acucorps "thin client" will solve the problem. Ted

Sorry, I failed to mention that you need to copy "winprint.def" into your working storage section. This file is supplied by Acucorp on the installation disk. Ted

Here is a routine that works for setting up a laser printer in Acucobol. The first call sets up a default font; The second call gets the current setting so they can be reset if necessary; The third call sets the font to compressed print so you can print 132 columns; The last two calls sets the...

Sorry, I didn't realize how hard it would be to debug an acubench program without seeing all of the elements. Have you tried running debug on it? Ted

Sorry for the confusion. Could you post your after procedure for the field you are having the problem with? That would make it easier to see what is going on. Ted

You control which field gets focus by setting the accept-control and the control-id fields. The control-id would contain the ID number for the field you want to return to. This should be set in your after procedure for the field. Ted

Take a look at the tab order of each field. The after procedure for the field where the user enters the code won't be executed until after you press tab or enter. When you return from the called program, called by the after procedure, focus should be on the next field as specified by the tab...

Tom, That solved the problem. I guess reading the manual every now and then does help. :) Thanks Tom. Ted

Just wondering if anyone has come across this one before. I just got a new computer and went from Windows 98 to XP. In one program I issue the following cobol statement: 01 wa-work-area. 05 wa-dos-command pic x(30) value "dir /b *.src-arc > dirlist.txt" call...

Here is what the manual says about the user count. I have never seen a negative user count myself but it sounds like there might be a problem with the runtime. Have you talked to Acucorp about it? Ted A value of note is the "user count". This value starts at zero, and is...

Are you using the acubench? I have written a number of programs now using their gui tools and they work great. Also, what is the development system version? Ted

The vutil utility will decompress an indexed file, assuming it is a vision file system file created by an Acucobol application. If not, then I'm not sure. vutil -rebuild -c <filename> will do it if it is a vision file. Ted

Here is a copy of the page out of the manual that deals with the compiler's compatibility options. It doesn't mention microfocus specifically but if microfocus is like RM Cobol or another variation, perhaps it will work. I'm not specifically familiar with microfocus cobol but I have to assume...
