Hi everyone,

Today's developers expect a certain toolset for any project, with Visual Studio Code being one of the most popular development tools in the world. To make it easier to attract new specialists and to streamline the development within your enterprise, we've built the Rocket ACUCOBOL-GT Extension for Visual Studio Code, bringing key Rocket AcuBench features directly into VS Code on Windows. (with Linux support coming soon)

Import your existing Rocket AcuBench projects, keep your compiler settings, and continue building, editing, compiling, and debugging without missing a beat.

Inside the extension, you'll find:

  • Rocket AcuBench Project Support - Use the extension to create and edit AcuBench projects.
  • Compile - Build projects and programs using extension functionality.
  • Debug - Debug your generated code.
  • Create and Edit Screens - Use the extension to create, edit, and delete screens and screen controls.
  • Code Editing - Supports basic ACUCOBOL code editing.

It's built for compatibility, speed, and keeping your ACUCOBOL workflow in one place.
