The following sections describe supported ACUCOBOL-GT features and how to enable them.
Converting ACUCOBOL-GT Applications
With Enterprise Developer you can build, compile and debug ACUCOBOL-GT applications. Certain Compiler directives are provided to enable compatibility with some of ACUCOBOL-GT's language extensions, data files, and other behaviors.
ACUCOBOL-GT File Handling Enterprise Developer allows you to continue to use your existing ACUCOBOL-GT data files, including Vision indexed data files.
ACUCOBOL-GT Library Routines
This COBOL development system provides a number of ACUCOBOL-GT library routines in native and managed code.
ACUCOBOL-GT Windowing Syntax
Your COBOL system provides some support for ACUCOBOL-GT windowing syntax that enables you to draw lines and boxes on the terminal screen, and create virtual terminal windows on a physical terminal. All ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements then act within the current window (except for ACCEPT format 1, 2, or 3 statements, DISPLAY format 1 statements, and DISPLAY WINDOW/LINE/BOX statements). The syntax also enables underlying displays to be kept and restored.
