    Cobol ODBC access to SQL Server 2005

    I am using CA Realia Cobol Workbench 3.3 to access Microsoft SQL Server 2005 via Embedded SQL and ODBC. I am having a problem with executing a stored procedure with output parameters. I have tried many different formats of the call to the stored procedure with no success. I can get stored...

    Btrieve Error 35

    This may be related to a situation I recently encountered when upgrading to V10 from V8. There is a configuration checkbox regarding whether or not embedded spaces are allowed in filenames. I can see that your generated Select statement in the PCC is choking on the embedded space. You may try...

    Help with locating file in Crystal 7 and Pervasive

    When selecting the DDF files, use FILE.DDF. This should present a list of Tables defined for your application. The DDF's contain file name information which may or may not be correct. In Crystal, you have a Set Database Location function which should allow you to alter the physical location of...

    btrieve/N version 5.10 dos exporting from

    The garbage seen using BUTIL -Save may just be binary data, not necessarily corrupt data. Binary data can have code for carriage return/line feed which may wreak havoc with most text editors. The .def files may equate to Btrieve description files which are used with the BUTIL -Create function...

    Running Older RMcobol DOS Programs on Windows

    I use Computer Associates Advantage Realia Cobol Workbench with Norcom's GUIScreenio with Pervasive (Btrieve) as my data handler. It generates 32-bit Windows exe's. I've converted a number of my clients from DOS to Windows with relative ease. One of my clients still uses an old Microfocus DOS...

    Running Older RMcobol DOS Programs on Windows

    W2k has two command prompts which act differently with DOS programs. There is the native cmd prompt and there is the command.com prompt which is the MSDOS prompt. I used Realia Cobol for DOS which used to create dual-mode exe's for running under DOS or OS2. This necessitated the use of the...

    Duplicate Table/Data Definitions/Database Update Crystal 8.5/Pervasive

    Your data files are described in your DDF files, usually supplied by the vendor. In your case, it appears that the tables Code Table, Code Table 01, Code Table 02, etc. are all different "views" of the same data file. In Crystal Reports, alias tables come from adding the same table...

    DOS version of BTRIEVE on XP

    I also have developed using Btrieve from the Softcraft days, and continue to do so today utilizing the latest Pervasive versions. The last freely distributable DOS multi-user version was 5.10a which is about 43kb. My latest patch was from 1993. I have clients who still use DOS applications I've...

    Installation of ODBC 4.0 for Progress version 8

    I just set up an ODBC connection to Progress 8.3B on a Windows 2000 Server via ODBC Version 4.0 by DataDirect Technologies. DataDirect pointed me to an FTP site where we downloaded an evaluation copy of ODBC Version 4.0. The tech support at Progress Software talked us through the configuration...

    Pervasive vs. other relational db

    I have been using Pervasive since the Softcraft Btrieve days and have had minimal problems. The few corruptions which I have seen have come from disk drive I/O errors, and more commonly, simultaneous access to data with different versions of the Pervasive/Btrieve engine. Version 6.15, in my...

    Macola 7.5, Pervasive SQL 2000, MS-Access and new DDF files

    The Intersolv ODBC Drivers came packaged with one of the Report Writers. I believe that it was Arpeggio, now R&R Report Writer again. Check www.livewarepub.com for info. Another thing to look into is a download from www.pervasive.com for some kind of DDFCONV program which analyzes and checks...

    Macola 7.5, Pervasive SQL 2000, MS-Access and new DDF files

    I ran into performance problems using Pervasive SQL 7 ODBC drivers and Arpeggio Report Writer. I ended up using Intersolv's Btrieve ODBC driver. I recently ran across an item in Pervasive's Knowledge Base while searching for "ODBC Performance" which mentions that the version of the DDF...

    realia and btrieve keys

    I responded to your message on the Btrieve forum. You should get your hands on a Btrieve Developer's Kit. It will explain segments. In short, segments are portions of a Btrieve key. Btrieve allows you to create keys with fields that may be anywhere in your record layout. A simple example would...

    Btrieve & Arcserve ?

    Make sure that the new version of Btrieve loads before Arcserve loads. Novell also uses Btrieve internally. I solved the same issue for myself by manually running astart6 only when I needed to do a backup, otherwise just make sure that it runs last. Btrieve will already be loaded when arcserve...

    Realia COBOL and Btrieve API (key/data area)

    The information you require resides within the Pervasive/Btrieve Developer's Kit (SDK). Two ways to create Btrieve files are through the CREATE function from within the program or through the use of the BUTIL utility and a description file. If you let me know what you have as far as software and...
