Visual COBOL is the industry leading solution for COBOL application development and deployment on
Windows, UNIX and Linux systems. Visual COBOL offers smart editing and debugging, enabling
developers to manage complex problems easier and faster than before.
Visual COBOL for Eclipse enables you to:
?
?
Develop COBOL applications within the Eclipse IDE
Deploy COBOL applications across a wide range of enterprise platforms including Windows, UNIX,
Linux, and JVM
Visual COBOL for Eclipse can be used with an optional add-on, Visual COBOL Development Hub, that
enables developers to centrally store source code and application artefacts as well as debug their
applications remotely on UNIX from their local Eclipse environment. This makes fault detection and
correction easier, enabling higher quality standards for application development efforts.
This product Help includes information about how to use Visual COBOL for Eclipse for local development
as well as for remote development using the Visual COBOL Development Hub.
Upgrading from earlier Micro Focus products
Note: Windows-only.
This version of your product is dependent on a later version of the Microsoft C run-time system than earlier
Micro Focus products. This means that COBOL executables (.exe) built with a version earlier than 4.0
might not be compatible with the current version of the run-time products. If the behavior of your application
changes with the current version, we strongly recommend that you relink the main executable with the
current version. This will ensure that the COBOL run-time system fully handles any run-time error
conditions that might occur.
A new executable that is fully compatible with the current version can be produced without recompiling the
application, as long as the original object code is available and it is relinked with the current version.
To allow your executables to benefit from the product's latest programming and performance
enhancements, we recommend a full recompilation of your source code.
If you are using Eclipse, Visual COBOL can automatically relink existing projects created with Visual
COBOL earlier than 4.0 that have executable link artefacts. Eclipse displays a warning in the Problems
view that the project requires relinking. It then offers a Quick Fix action for you to execute that will link your
project with the most recent version of the Run-Time System.
