Problem:

Release 4.0:

When trying to debug some Cobol programs called by one VB6 application.

This is what happens:

a.   perform a 'Rebuild All' for the Cobol .APP project.

      This seems to produce the required .IDY and .INT files for all Cobol programs in the       application.

b.    set some breakpoints in Cobol programs which get called.

c.    select 'Start Animating...', which starts up VB6.

d.    load the relevant VB application into the VB IDE, set a breakpoint

       where the VB app calls into Cobol, then start the VB app.

e.    When the VB app gets to it's breakpoint, continue execution (both

        F8 'Step into' and F5 'Run' produce the same result...)

f.    The call to Cobol then occurs, but completes successfully without

       halting at any of the Cobol breakpoints.

      The VB app then continues to run until the next breakpoint.

Resolution:

In the Net Express IDE Option Animate -> Settings there are several tick boxes. In this particular case the customer had the wrong boxes ticked and after changing the mixed language 'off' and miscellaneous settings 'off' it worked fine.
