Is there a way to provide a default parameter in Visual Cobol like you can in C#?

public void MyString(String passedString = " ")

    Yes, this is possible using the 2.2 version of Visual COBOL, and the syntax is quite similar to the C# syntax.  

    As an example:

          class-id a.

          method-id main static.

              invoke self::MyString("Hello")

              invoke self::MyString

          end method.

          method-id MyString static public.

          procedure division using by value passedString as string = " ".

              display passedString

          end method.

          end class.

    Thanks.  I thought I tried that.  I must have done something wrong.
