Visual COBOL allows you to deploy COBOL applications as SOAP or REST web services running in Enterprise Server. You can also generate COBOL client programs that are capable of calling these or 3rd party deployed web services. There are a couple of videos that describe this feature in detail: Using Visual COBOL for Eclipse to Create SOAP Web Services Using Visual COBOL for Eclipse to Create REST Web Services There are also a couple tutorials in the product documentation that will walk you through this process.

I have just taken delivery of a new PC. On my old PC I have Visual Studio 2019 CE and VC PE.   I wish to continue COBOL programming on my new PC. As I understand it, there is not yet a VC PE which is compatible with Visual Studio 2022 CE, so I will have to install VS 2019. Is there still a link on this web site where I can apply for a VC PE license to use? Thanks

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
