COBOL-IT - Developer Studio Software
An Eclipse-based development environment that integrates the COBOL-IT Compiler, Runtime and Debugger and that can be operated on a Local or Remote Host. In the Eclipse framework, the COBOL-IT Developer Studio provides the ability to manage projects on all the Windows/Linux/UNIX platforms on which COBOL-IT Compiler Suite is available. The COBOL-IT Debugger provides the ability to step, or run through source, manage breakpoints, monitor variables, and view variable values in hex or ASCII format Use the COBOL-IT Runtime and Debugger installed on the remote machine to run your application, and to run your programs in debug.
The COBOL-IT Developer Studio is an Eclipse-based development environment that allows you to develop, debug and maintain your legacy COBOL applications in a highly-configurable project-oriented environment. Our goal is to provide you with an Eclipse-based tool for Development and Debugging on all of the platforms on which the COBOL-IT Compiler Suite Enterprise Edition is available.

- COBOL-IT Developer Studio is certified on Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms for working on projects located on remote machines.
- The COBOL-IT Developer Studio includes the Developer Studio Perspective for work on local projects, a Remote System Explorer Perspective for work on remote hosts, and a Debugger Perspective for feature-rich debugging.
- Configure you workspace, populate your projects, set compiler flags and environment variables, and then build and run the programs in your application.
- Create programming templates, program hot-keys, colorize reserved words. Easily identify and correct compiler errors.
- Operates with files and folders on local or remote host machines.
- Allows you to create COBOL Workspaces, Projects, and Programs on remote host machines, and use the local compiler, runtime and debugger.
- Maximizes the flexibility and adaptability of the development environment for the specific needs of the user.
- Allows the user to quickly identify searched strings, and if necessary, modify source code.
- Provides clickable entry points to specific points in the program, increasing the efficiency with which the programmer can navigate large source files.
- Provides a familiar view on the workings of the compiler.
- Enhances debugging capabilities during transition from the mainframe.
- Provides the ablity to display values in Hex and in UTF-8 in the Variable and Monitor windows of the Debugger Perspective.
- Improves Development capabilities by providing interfaces for configuring source code control commands
- Open any indexed, relative, binary sequential or line sequential file in the Data Displayer in either Read-Only or Read-Write mode. Modify data in either ASCII or hex format.
- Run your program with a Code Coverage Configuration, and collect information on lines of code executed by your application during a run cycle.
- Attach a “C” debugger and step through “C” source code, and return to the COBOL debugger to step through COBOL code in the same debugging session.
