COBOL-VS-COBOL-II-and-
MFCOBOL-Whats-the-difference
- The specific name for these compilers was the
OS/VS COBOL Compiler
- It was quite cumbersome when it came to
addressability, using a facility called BLL cells,
and had other limitations.
- . VS COBOL II (5668-958) replaced OS/VS
COBOL in the early to mid-eighties, and it
provided 31-bit addressing as well as changing
the language structure to make addressability
easier through the use of pointers and other
facilities. The migration was not transparent in
most cases, though, and often some degree of
application code modifications were required to
upgrade to VS COBOL II.
- VS COBOL II was replaced with COBOL for MVS
& VM (5688-197), then COBOL for OS/390 & VM
(5648-A25) and the current version of COBOL is
called Enterprise COBOL for z/OS & OS/390
(5655-G53). Like OS/VS COBOL, VS COBOL II is no
longer supported by IBM, and equivalent runtime
capability is provided in Language Environment.
3. MFCOBOL is a generic term for the COBOL
provided by MicroFocus through the use of
compilers built into such products as Micro Focus
Mainframe Express, Micro Focus Object COBOL
Developer Suite, and Micro Focus Revolve. These
products are much more than just compilers and
libraries; they include a variety of development
tools in addition, all packaged together. You
cannot order MFCOBOL by itself.

-How do I find duplicates in COBOL?

Open a COBOL program or a COBOL copybook with the


COBOL Editor. Right-click and choose Duplicate Code
Detection menu and Search duplicates in this file. A
Duplicate Code Detection project allows to define a
container for a set of Cobol source artifacts.

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.

- Introduction to EclipseProvides a description of the


major IDE features together with an overview of the
development life-cycle and some useful tips on developing
applications.
Configuring EclipseUse the Window > Preferences (in
particular, the Micro Focus sub-section) to configure the
Eclipse environment. You can configure such things
as the appearance of the editor, and the
behavior of such analysis tools as the

Profiler, - What is a profiler in coding?

In software engineering, profiling


("program profiling", "software profiling") is a form of
dynamic program analysis that measures, for example,
the space (memory) or time complexity of a program,
the usage of particular instructions, or the frequency
and duration of function calls

Code Coverage, -Code coverage option is


available under the Test menu when you run
test methods using Test Explorer.The results
table shows the percentage of the code
executed in each assembly, class, and
procedure. The source editor highlights the
tested code. You can export the results in
popular formats such as Cobertura. It
shows the ability of your test metrics or test
cases the covers the coded lines
- Using Eclipse for COBOL DevelopmentUse Eclipse
to create, debug and run COBOL applications on your local
machine or on a remote server.

UNIX LINKING and BINDING.A shared library can be linked into
one or more system executables. When the system
executables are executed the system loader loads one copy of
the shared library, shares the code area and creates separate
data areas for each executable. The shared library remains
loaded until the system executable process terminates. A
shared library file has a prefix of lib and filename extension
of .so.To build an application, you need to compile its programs
and link them to a run-time system. In the IDE, you use a build
configuration to define how to do this.

must have Visual COBOL Development
Hub installed on the remote machine.You can create
connections to a Visual COBOL Development Hub machine
using a number of different protocols.
