Acucobol & Registry
|
|
|
| Hi, I'm new of ACUCOBOL.
I'm using an old 4.3 version and I wish to access the windows
registry.
I just want to create a key to check it again whenever I run my
program.
Can anyone help me ?
Many thanks
Giovanni

Hi,
You can download the sample program CobReg.zip from microfocus.com:
http://supportline.microfocus.com/e...mp.asp#Win32API
You can download the sample programs in chapter 19 from kimsoft.com:
http://www.kimsoft.com/api-COBOL/api-COBOL.htm

Grazie Kellie.
I never used the MicroFocus but I'll try to convert the routines to
ACUCOBOL calling the ADVAPI32.DLL.
Hope this will help solving my problem.
Very kind

Thanks again Kellie.

Good on you young lady. Nice to see you are still around. Have you
finished training Kellie, or still got some to go.

I suggest, sir, none of us EVER finish training.

Hi Jimmy,
Hope everything is well....
I will be learning SQL language after summer break --- hopefully I get
hired by Oracle Corporation. :-)
By the way, the latest version of microfocus NetExpress 5.0 does not
have any reference or vaunting about OO capabilities, I wonder why.

| Kellie,
Where are you looking?
When I go to:
http://supportline.microfocus.com/d...50/nx50indx.htm
There is an entire section of books under
"Object Oriented Programming"
as well as separate books on "COBOL and Java" and "COM, COBOL, and .NET"
Now there ARE certain restrictions on the "personal edition" - but even that
supports OO.

Hi Bill,
We are talking about the actual COBOL compiler per se, not the OO
books that microfocus have in the online bookshelf:
http://www.microfocus.com/products/NetExpress/
Kellie.

| If you "click" on the "product data sheet" link on the page you pointed to you
will find (among other things)
"Full support for object oriented COBOL (including Syntax) and COBOL
development/debugging"
Besides the documents I pointed to, you will also find full support in the LRM.
I just don't understand what you are trying to say about N/E 5.0.
I will admit they don't highlight this as a "new feature" - but that is because
it is FAR from "new" for any Micro Focus compiler or product.

Hi Bill,
I know that Jimmy have a NetExpress compiler and uses OO programming
classes in his code, I thought it was odd microfocus did not mention
any
reference of OO support under the heading Highlights and Benefits,
that's
why I want it to bring it to his attention. I did not know they only
mentioned the OO support in the product datasheet.
Kellie. :-)

Quite simply they've gone with what pays the bills.
Historically back in DOS days they had several methods of 'windowing',
Panels etc. which became Dialog System and back then using your beloved
APIs they duplicated what Charles Petzold (PC Magazine) did using C.
VISOC and Net Express were geared to enticing users to go full blown OO.
You could do all the above, except DS which was left out. Although many
snapped up a free beta version few went with the real McCoy (don't know
numbers). It was only when Dialog System was re-introduced that the
product truly took off - apart from Procedural folk, my guess 80% plus
use Dialog System for Windowing.
That's fine and dandy, but now comes the need to interface with webbing.
Without having to do too much re-inventing of the wheel, both F/J and
M/F went dotNet - saves them a lot of money - you will have seen Pete
enthuse about the Visual Studio object presentation making it easy to
access a particular method for a particular object.
The reality for 'the now' and the future is that the whole game is about
objects (has been since Simula approx 1947 !). While you can still code
in OO COBOL and interface with other languages, money wise dotNet makes
sense rather than emphasizing OO COBOL as an independent isolated tool.
I hope as part of your SQL endeavour you take a good look at the ESQL
Assistant - it's a real dream to use as a tool and covers you on
numerous SQL engines. Good luck.
PS: The On-line manual for OO in Version 5 is very good.

Actually 1967.
"SIMULA 67 - A general-purpose successor to SIMULA I,
in which the simulation support is defined in object-oriented
terms. Introduced the record class, leading the way to data
abstraction and object-oriented programming. Garbage
collection."

Rick,
Thanks for the correction - didn't sound right when I wrote it. Still
what's twenty years between friends - doesn't seem to have bothered J4 :-)

Perhaps an adjective such as long-time or childhood. <g>
