Error in connection JDBC-COBOL --- QVX_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_DATA

[#1]

Hello, please I need someone who knows about this give me a hand.

I spent several days trying to connect from the QlikView with some Cobol extension files. DAT, SEL, FD, VIX.

After much work and research and I have been able to connect using JDBC and HXTT Cobol JDBC driver.

But I did not return any data, and I get the error QVX_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_DATA

My connection is:

CUSTOM CONNECT TO "Provider = JDBCConnector.dll; jdbc: cobol 😕 / / C 😕 cfactura.dat; XUserId = fEDDLOD; XPassword = DQLERBB;"

Therefore selected the data as follows:

test:
SQL SELECT * FROM cfactura;/ /

At compile I get the following error:

"Customer reading error

test:

SQL SELECT * FROM cfactura.

And then I get the following window where I recognized the names of the fields and the structure but no data

I thank you very much any help on this topic.

Hi Ricardo,

I played around a bit with it. The load is stopping because of dirty data in a numerical field. I changed all formats in the FD file to PIC X for test (see attachement) and it's loading. Of course, it's all dirty then..

I think something is wrong, either with the file encoding or the record format.

From which COBOL environment/dialect are the files?

Hi Ralf

Thanks for your help, I commented that my client is a Unix server platform

4.2.0 ACUCOBOL GT

The file types listed above and flat files where the table index is

separate and has a. vix correspond to a native form of a database on Fox that

handles the base as and the index table as .

Thanks.

I read in the HXTT docu that only AcuCOBOL version 3 is supported. I sent a request to HXTT if they can give an advice..

Hi Ricardo,

this is what I got from HXTT support:

"Checked. It's 108250 rows in that cfactura.dat file. Itseems that indices.fd and indices.sel has no relation with cfactura table.

cfactura.dat missed its index file, for instance,cfactura.vix .

Because cfactura.data is using unknown compression, andwe need an uncompression dat file( or txt output file) to verify. If possible,please provide such a sample."

So, please take a look after the file cfactura.vix and upload it here or send it to me for building the test case:

Hi Ralf

Thank you very much for your help on this issue.

I commented that I do not have the file factura.vix, I have only one file

that I uploaded secuenci.vix.

I have tried to connect using the following link:

"CUSTOM CONNECT TO" Provider = JDBCConnector.dll; jdbc: cobol 😕 / / C 😕

secuenci.vix; XUserId = IZdCAQC; XPassword = EBNeRbB; "

But I get the following error.

"Need Cobol source code file, Copybook file, file FD, SEL file, or CREATE

TABLE sql table to define the structure of C: \ secuenci.vix

SQL SELECT * FROM secuenci ".

That is what I understand is that the connector uses file extension needs

FD. SEL.TXT, but does not recognize those who have the. Vix

The only solution I see is ask the customer to realize a manual labor to

export data to txt extension by vutil32 program, and make a connection in

the QlikView to take those flat files.

Waiting for your comments

Thank you.

Hi Ricardo,

I will try to play around with this .vix file.

The support also stated that the data file cfactura.dat has an unknown compression. Is there any uncompressed version of the file?

Hi Ralf

I have attached the original files that I sent the customer, are 3 files, a

indice.dat, secuenci.dat and secuenci.vix.

Apparently secuencia.vix and index.dat are complements

I translated what the client told me about this topic:

"Attached is a text file but has included the index. It's called INDEXES.

This file type corresponds to a version lower than we currently have.

In our Unix server platform handle ACUCOBOL GT 4.2.0 file types mentioned

above and flat files where the table index is separate and has a. Vix. As I

was saying is the native form of a Fox database that handles the base as [.

Dba] and the index table as . An example of this is the file that

secuenci.vix secuenci and attachment."

thanks
