Google a product named FastDDF Builder. I've used it for setting up and modifying V8 DDF files.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I've got it if you need it. Leave an email address to send it to.

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...

I have the Workbench Version 3.1. While I don't use CICS, there's a pdf that might be useful to you. If you can supply me with an e-mail address, I'll send it to you.

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...

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...

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...
