Can you publish a parial code with the sql statements.

i had no problem to move from netexpress5.x to visual cobol 8.x or now 9.x

The problem is sql-coding, but without the code any help is not possible

Without the following information it is difficult to even try to help you:

OS and platform, Database and version, the relevant SQL Source code

A difference between Net Express and Visual COBOL is that the behavior has changed regarding cursor handling after a COMMIT.

By default, cursors without WITH HOLD specified are closed automatically after a COMMIT is done.

To change this behavior you can set the following SQL directive:

SQL(CLOSE_ON_COMMIT=NO}
