Tips to open CET file
Can't open the CET file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open CET files as well as a list of programs that support CET files.
CET file extension
The CET file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CET files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CET file on each system platform.
What is CET file?
The file with the extension CET is the Misc Files file type. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Hitachi Cobol appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Hitachi COBOL2002 to handle this file. This is a program created by Hitachi.
How to open CET file?
The most common problem when using Hitachi Cobol is that a specific CET is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CET, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CET file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Hitachi COBOL2002
In this case, you should first verify that the Hitachi COBOL2002 application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Hitachi COBOL2002 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CET with Hitachi COBOL2002. Below you will find a list of applications that support CET files.
Programs to open CET file
Remember to download programs supporting CET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Hitachi COBOL2002 with CET files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CET file to open in the Hitachi COBOL2002 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CET file with the Hitachi COBOL2002 program.
Step 3. Update Hitachi COBOL2002 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Hitachi COBOL2002 program with the Hitachi Cobol file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Hitachi website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CET file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CET file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CET files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CET file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CET files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CET files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CET file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CET except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CET to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CET file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CET file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
