Hi all,

I am trying to find my way through the web of everything here.

I have managed to get to the Visual cobol training course and that has attachments, the first being vctTraining.zip.
When I try to download it, I am informed it contains a virus? and the download is blocked.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for reaching out. I think @cglazier@rocketsoftware.com could help you out :)

Hi Paul,

There is now a Visual COBOL forum available on this Rocket site. I would recommend that future questions be directed to that forum.

I just downloaded the vctraining.zip file and I did not have a problem with it. What anti-virus software are you using that is flagging it as a virus?

Do you currently have the Visual COBOL product installed?

This is a prerequisite to the Learning COBOL course. Currently our Personal COBOL download site has not been transitioned to Rocket so the product is not available for download.

As an alternative, there is a free Community version of Visual COBOL available which is installed when you install the Learn COBOL extension into Visual Studio Code. Please see Learn COBOL - Visual Studio Marketplace

Hi Chris,

Thank you. I will try those links.
If I am thinking of the same forum you mention, there is absolutely nothing in there, and it states it has not been transferred yet?

This one? https://community.rocketsoftware.com/forums/forum-home?CommunityKey=fc99efc3-3189-48e3-860f-01928efec020

Yes, that is the correct link.

We are in the process of migrating the OpenText Community forums to the Rocket forums. Beginning this Thursday October 24th the OpenText Community for the AMC products will be marked read-only and we will use the Rocket Visual COBOL forum instead.  We are also in the process of moving all of the historical posts from the old site to the new. I am told that this should be done by November 11th.
