Hello,

I am new to the Micro Focus net express application. I was able to compile files but now I want to be able to debug cobol files. I have been reading thru documentation etc. but if someone could enlighten me on how I debug files with Net Express I would greatly appreciate it. I just don;t know enough about the product. Can someone please tell me the steps I need to follow in order to be able to debug cobal files with net express? Do I need to create a project etc? Thanks so much for any advice/direction you can offer.

If you wish to make the best use of Net Express then you should use the IDE, create a project and place your COBOL programs into the project.

You can then use the IDE to Edit, Build, Run and Debug your programs with a click of the mouse.

Please look in the on-line help under the section Start Here->Getting Started->Using the Net Express IDE.
This gives a step-by-step guide on how to use the IDE to poerform these various functions.
