What to do?

As you do not get a lot of Patch Updates for Visual COBOL 7.0 for Visual Studio 2019 these days, help links still point to somewhere on microfocus.com

It would be nice if they could work with the new home

https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/bundle/visualcobol_dg4_70_html/page/GUID-CBF8DCDC-1F63-4C02-AC0C-7FABBE6A04AD.html

I know help can be installed locally, but this is an additional support burden we would like to avoid if possible.

Since this version is still supported, any plans to fix this in a PU?

Kind regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

We just released V11.0 and we only maintain 3 product versions back. According to the Rocket Product Life Cycle 

V7.0 just went off maintenance yesterday so there will be no more Patch Updates to the 7.0 product.

Sorry...
