Debugging in Visual Studio 2017 (Enterprise Developer 3.0)

I recently installed Visual Studio 2017 and Microfocus Enterprise Developer 3.0.

When debugging our application, which is a managed application (mixture of C# and Cobol compiled for .NET), I can't see the values of Cobol data items. The error message I get is: error CS0103: The name 'AFD2' does not exist in the current context.

To be clear, the results of the run are 100% correct, so it's seems to be a debugging issue exclusively.

I suspect that I have a wrong setting somewhere.

Kind regards,

Mark de Vos

    This is the Visual COBOL forum. You should instead post your question at the Enterprise Developer forum

    Mark,

    If you go to the Tools menu, select Options... then go to Debugging -> General and find the option named 'Use Managed Compatibility Mode'. If you check that option you should then be able to query the values of your COBOL data items.
