Net Express from Micro Focus provides tools and utilities for developing COBOL programs. The Net Express Development Environment is an integrated graphical user interface in which you can specify the structure of an application, create, edit and debug programs, compile and link programs and so on. It is still possible to use command line tools (to link and compile, for example).
To create your application, you go through the following stages:
You can choose whether to make the application standalone or modular. You can postpone this decision till later if you want.
for the application to specify how to build the source programs.
for the application.
and move around it, tracing its logic and developing an understanding of how it behaves.
executing individual pieces in different ways, and if necessary edit, check and debug the program again.
to produce code that you can execute, or object code ready for linking.
if they are in object code.
Setting Up Licenses for Your Application and any necessary files to your user.
