Hi Pedro,

No, the .exe executable file created on Windows is not compatible with Unix or Linux environments. A program that was instead generated as an .int or .gnt executable would be compatible. However, it's important to note that the appropriate version of Micro Focus COBOL Server would have to be installed on the Unix or Linux system to run the program.

Hello Pedro,

Note that .gnt modules are NOT portable between Windows/UNIX/Linux.

We recommend to use UNIX/Linux executable or share object (.so / .sl) under UNIX/Linux.

Note also that .int using Oracle DB (Pro*COBOL) are NOT portable.

Hi Pedro,

Many thanks to Daniel for correcting my mistake. As Daniel has stated, .gnt modules are not portable between Windows and Unix. My apologies for any confusion.

The recommended method of using the Visual COBOL for Eclipse product for Unix development is to install the Visual COBOL Development Hub product on the Unix machine and then use the Visual COBOL Eclipse product installed on either Windows or Linux as your IDE that would then allow you to do remote development directly on the Unix computer.

You could then set up your projects and source code on the Unix computer and do the actual editing, compiling and debugging of these modules from within the IDE running on your local computer.

Thanks.
