Over the years I have developed a large number of routines, to do common tasks like format a date, strip out spaces, view a file using Wordpad, format and display an error message, etc. I have all these in a few copy libraries, which I include in every program in my applications, and PERFORM...

Yes to both questions - NetExpress runs, and compiles, on both XP Professional and Server 2003, and the run time can be used on both. I use it, and it is an excelant tool. Phil.

On my Windows 2000 machine I notice the switch character has changed from - to $ Hope this solves it for you.

You certainly should be able to use the gui Dialog in a multi-user environment. What is the problem you are getting? Maybe it is to do with a file or files on a server that maybe should be on the local machine - I'm guessing there, but cant think of any obvious reason why it wouldn't work...

Which would perform faster: an Oracle database or MicroFocus COBOL indexed files? Does anyone have experience of both and could make helpful coments as to whether we could improve performance by switching from indexed files to a relational database. Database size is approx. 2 GB, running on...

Does anyone have any comments on comparitve performance from db2 database compared with COBOL indexed files? Which would perform faster? We currently use MicroFocus NetExpress with indexed files, for a 2Gb database. We are wondering if a switch to a relational database would improve...

I wonder if maybe you need to go back to the original tool that created the html and linked it in to the COBOL program? I use MicroFocus NetExpress, and have played a little with web enabled applications - having created the html and screen using NetExpress I would then go back to NetExpress to...

Thanks everyone, especially Dimandja. It is all helpful and interesting - please keep the responses coming in. Rich - to answer your questions: we already use raided disks, Raid 5 I think. The server and workstations are all NT4, and I am being to think, from comments in comp.lang.cobol that...

Thanks, Tom, >What is your performance metric? < I don't have one, other than 'Does it work sufficiently fast?', which it does. To be frank, I don't know enough about how to measure performance, or estimate the effects of an increase in traffic - other than by testing and trying to simulate...

What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of an sql database system as compared with COBOL indexed files? I have a client using a networked system for 100+ users, developed using MicroFocus NetExpress, accessing a database of 30 indexed files, 3 Gb in total size, 1Gb largest file (plus...
