Did you know that Visual COBOL supports the Micro Focus Unit Testing Framework? This is an xUnit-style testing framework, available from the Visual COBOL command line prompt, or from the IDE. It supports native COBOL applications, and .NET COBOL applications. It includes much of the architecture you would expect of an xUnit framework: you can create, compile, run and debug unit tests from either the command line or your IDE.

Hi , I'm using Visual Cobol for Eclipse on Redhat, trying to migrate from Server Express to Visual Cobol, so I have to compare the Compile Result between them. and find out all reasons if difference exists. I set verbose = true, then the compile result outputted, On Server Express, here's the compile results for [list] * Accepted - nolist* Accepted - list("XXX1.lst") but on Visual Cobol, [cobol] * Accepted - NOLIST [cobol] * Accepted - LISTPATH"Listing" 1  The [NOLIST] is the same , but why [list("XXX1.lst")] outputted on Server Express ?     How to set compile option that makes Visual Cobol output it too ? 2  Visual Cobol outputted [LISTPATH] and Server Express did not. It is effect anything?     If [LIST PATH] is only a message for reminding something, then I don't have to change it. Thanks
