    Date type

    AcuODBC is used to access data in Vision Files using ODBC compliant programs (MS Access, Crystal Reports...). The Vision Files look like database files to the querying program but they are not. They are "Cobol data files" and there is no data type "date" in a cobol file...

    Any free tool to view/export data from AcuCOBOL files?

    Re-creating XFD's is easy if you have the tools. As I mentioned before, you must have the FD and the compiler. Compile any program that does IO on the file that you want an XFD for. Set the switch to create XFD's in the compile command string, or in AcuBench if you are using it. The switch to...

    Any free tool to view/export data from AcuCOBOL files?

    In order to make AcuODBC work properly, you need the FD's and the compiler. If you don't have the FD's you're SOL. Do you have the utilities that come with the runtime? Vutil will export a file to sequential (ASCII). The command is: vutil -unload -t source-file dest-file. This will create a...

    AcuODBC, data has text in date fields

    I agree with Vins Nash. There is a setting when configuring the DSN that might help. Look on the "Advanced" tab for a drop down labeled "Invalid Numeric Data". You can choose error, truncate or zero. There is, of course, no such thing as a "Date" type in an AcuCorp...

    Data Export from AcuCOBOL to MS SQL ????!!!!!

    First, if you think you are using an old version of AcuODBC you should update to the latest one and read the documentation. I'm not trying to be a smart A**, it really is helpful. Second AcuODBC relies on eXtended File Descriptors to be able to acurately display the tables. If you can see some...

    Any free tool to view/export data from AcuCOBOL files?

    Perhaps I am coming late to the party but I don't understand the question. What problem are you trying to solve? I work in an AcuCobol based shop. We may be able to help.

    ELF or COFF, what's the difference?

    Thank you (Ann?) that was very clear and helpful.

    ELF or COFF, what's the difference?

    When ordering a COBOL runtime for a SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 system I was asked if it was an ELF or COFF system. I have to plead ignorance about this. What is ELF or COFF? What is the difference between the two and how can I find out what a particular system is? Clues appreciated. Thanks.....

    20302 interrupted error from OpenServer 5.0.6 ftp server

    A windows application sends files to an NT server via FTP. The FTP server is a recently upgraded OpenServer 5.0.6 box (was 5.0.5). The home directory of the FTP login is a VisionFS SMB client directory on the NT server. This scheme worked well when using 5.0.5, but we now receive "20302...

    Can't remove SCSI tape

    Rob, Thanks for the response. I removed the entry from the mscsi file and reinstalled using mkdev tape. The tape drive seems to work fine now but I have this unusual situation. If I choose option 6 (view) in mkdev tpae there are 2 units listed (0 and 1). If i remove unit zero the view option...

    Can't remove SCSI tape

    After installing an SCSI tape using mkdev tape,, issuing tape command returns ...no such device error. If I try to remove unit 0, using mkdev tape, response is invalid choice, please enter a number between 0 and -1. If I try to install, response is (of course), another device is installed at...

    Cobolscript Professional startup failure

    I recently purchased Cobolscript Professional. I have installed 3 different web servers on my Win98 machine, Xitami, OmniHTTP and Abyss. Depending on which server is running I get these results when using a Netscape browser with the startup URL (127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/cobolscript.exe)...

    Unscheduled autoboot problem in OpenServer 5.0.6

    Does anyone have a clue as to why an OpenServer 5.0.6 system would autoboot during the night, sometimes multiple times, without intervention or instructions from cron? Root has mail everyday notifying us about it, but the autoboot log does not have enough info for us to troubleshoot.

    3com NIC 3c905 install assistance please

    I don't know about your tiny term errors but you can certainly do this from the console. From the root command line prompt type netconfig. This will start SCO Admin network configuration manager but bypasses any other functions. Or start SCO Admin from the command line and navigate to Networks...

    Navigating GUI interface without mouse

    If your using OpenServer 5, when SCO is booting hold down <ctrl> + <alt> and touch F1. This will bring you to the standard command line interface, which might be easier for you.

    Reached end of medium ? (backup)

    This could indicate a faulty tape or &quot;dirty&quot; tape drive. Try running a cleaning cartridge first. Also, you can run &quot;tape erase&quot; from the command line to reformat the cartridge. All data on the tape will be lost.

    Can Visionfs be installed on SCO 5.06

    Not a problem at all. The very first media kit of 5.0.6 that I received had VisionFS 3.1 on CD. That was before Caldera of course. I use that CD to install VisionFS on every 5.0.6 server that I configure.

    VisionFS &amp; W2K pro workstations authentications

    I have this same problem with a Windows XP box. Message is similar to the one described in TA108198 &quot;...not authorized to login from this station.&quot; I have always used plain text passwords with out any problems. Am I to understand that Win 2K and XP will only work with VisionFS 3.1 if...

    No disk controller found

    Thanks for your input Tony. What I have done so far: Disconnect tape drive from SCSI cable. This allowed the machine to boot. Removed the tape device (mkdev tape) and relink the kernel. Machine booted OK. ReConnect tape to SCSI cable, again boot OK. Add the tape device (mkdev) and relink kernel...

    No disk controller found

    I have just installed OpenServer 5.0.6 on a brand new HP NetServer E-800. This is a standard &quot;off the shelf&quot; server, (No RAID) one disk, one floppy, one DAT tape drive. I added a Digi Xem serial IO controller, PCI slot 2. Because the SCSI controller is Symbios, I had to add the SLHA...
