Wiki Page: Use REBUILD to convert to IDXFORMAT(8)
Problem: I have an existing application that uses Indexed Sequential files - IDXFORMAT(3), and they are approaching their size limit. I need to continue to add additional records to the file....

You could use something like: method-id IsValidData. procedure division returning myRet as condition-value. if Validator::IsPresent(txtCode) and Validator::IsDecimal(txtPrice) set myRet to true else...

Development has found this to be a problem with how the compiler recognizes the Boolean type within the evaluate statement and the problem has now been addressed in our next major product release VC...

Or somewhat more concise: method-id IsValidData returning myRet as condition-value. set myRet to Validator::IsPresent(txtCode) and Validator::IsDecimal(txtPrice) end method IsValidData. Whether this is...

Did you try to open your binary file as sequential (not line sequential). This way you can read your files data in blocks you define yourself and there will not be any CR LF hex characters at the and...

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately the record length of the file containing the binary data is larger than the record length of my print file as I tired to describe in my post. I was hoping...

The record length depends on your definition and not the file itself. The creator of the file might define it as x bytes / record, you however can define it as y Bytes / record. This way you can read...

If the file you're reading is indeed a blob, and neither text (so LINE SEQUENTIAL is incorrect) nor any sort of COBOL record format (so COBOL records are incorrect), then you should be reading it as a...

As Michael.Wojcik says, it would be possible to modify the COBOL program to use byte-stream I-O. Here's a link to byte-stream I-O in the Visual COBOL documentation:...

Yes Dan, you are correct that the byte-stream I-O is more work than the alternative I already had in mind.

Has anyone tried running Visual Cobol in Visual Studio 2017 yet? I know VS 2107 isn't officially out yet, but it sounds like it will be released soon.

I doubt Visual COBOL would even install as for each Visual Studio there is a specific setup file (i.e. vcvs2012_232.exe, vcvs2013_232.exe, and vcvs2015_232.exe). The installation fails if it doesn't...
