Micro Focus StudioDoug Evans


Enables you to develop COBOL applications as .NET managed code for deploying to Windows platforms running the .NET Framework

Enables you to develop as traditional (unmanaged) code applications for deploying to most Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms

Contains many tools to make developing applications easy and to enable applications to interface with Java, Web Services and XML.




Developing Environments Net Express

Net Express IDE to develop the traditional (unmanaged, not .NET managed) code applications

Applications can be deployed to Windows systems (other than .NET) and to UNIX and Linux platforms

Microsoft Visual Studio and support for COBOL in .NET Use Microsoft Visual Studio to develop applications that

run as managed code in the .NET environment. Managed and Unmanaged code can interoperate within the

same application enabling you to use existing COBOL in the .NET environment




Server Express To build and deploy your application on your chosen UNIX

and Linux platforms

Analysis Console To analyze your applications and provide extensive

information about them, making changing and maintaining them easier and safer




Installation Options Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition

Includes all previously mentioned development environments plus support for migrating applications that use CICS and/or JCL (known as Mainframe Transaction Option) to Windows, UNIX or Linux.

Micro Focus Studio Premier Edition Includes all previously mentioned development environments

except for support for migrating CICS/JCL applications from the mainframe.

Micro Focus Server Is a companion to Micro Focus Studio. Provides run-time environment for running COBOL applications

on Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms. .NET applications require the Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed.




64-bit support The Net Express IDE can be used to develop applications for deployment as

native 64-bit Windows applications (x64 or Itanium2). .NET managed COBOL applications can be deployed as 32-bit or 64-bit (x64 only).

Demonstrations The demonstrations have been moved to a new directory structure under the

examples directory in your installation directory. This examples directory includes the following subdirectories:

Examples\Visual Studio Integration - for managed COBOL demonstrations Examples\Dialog System - for the original Dialog System demonstrations

Examples\Net Express IDE - for Net Express demonstrations For .NET, the COBOL language samples have been moved from the directory

LRM Samples to COBOL for .NET. New demonstrations for .NET managed COBOL have been added, such as:

Generics in the COBOL for .NET subdirectory Multithreading WebBook and WinBook in the Forms subdirectory




.NET Deployment Applications can now be deployed with .NET

Framework 2.0. In addition to managed code, applications can now be compiled and deployed as verifiable code. .NET managed COBOL applications can be deployed as 32-bit or 64-bit (x64 only).

Visual Studio 2005 Support .NET managed code COBOL applications can be

created, maintained and extended using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. The C# Standard Edition of Visual Studio 2005 is also bundled free of charge with Net Express and Micro Focus Studio.




Windows Forms and Web Forms in Managed COBOL Microsoft .NET graphical (Windows forms) and

Internet (Web pages) user interfaces can now be created in COBOL. The form designer in Visual Studio generates Windows forms and Web forms in managed COBOL, thereby delivering contemporary user interfaces in COBOL.












Fun DemonstrationWeb Services

Create a COBOL web service proxy for an available web service andwrite a COBOL client program to access the web service.

Creating the Analysis Tools

The Analysis Tools on the Advanced menu are for identifying potential monetary data items or statements involving currencies, by examining the data definitions and how the data items are used. Each analysis tool produces a set of points of interest based on one attribute, such as the point of interest's name, type, value, format, usage, decimal places, et cetera. The resulting set is then displayed in a Set View. This shows the points of interest in the left hand pane, and the right hand pane shows a history of how the set reached its current state.

The Format of data item Tool



View of data items based on the format definition



Select all data items and load thru the Use of Data Items tool.

Select and drag to the Analysis tool



Resulting data items from Data Items Tool

Use of Data Items tool will find items that, because of the waythey are used in programs, are unlikely to be business-related items.



Remove non business related data items from beginning data item set



Right pane gives information as to what tools have been run so far to give your current data

item results.



Load Data Items into Names of data items tool. (looking for items based on character patterns within the

name that may not relate to what you are looking for)



Results from Names of data items tool



Again, remove items found from original Data Item list
