Complementary ACUCOBOL-GT Technologies

In ACUCOBOL-GT, you can utilize a number of complementary technologies in your applications. In Enterprise Developer, there are a number of technologies that provide equivalent or similar functionality.

You should compile your source code with the DIALECT"ACU" Compiler directive to give the fullest ACUCOBOL-GT emulation in Enterprise Developer. If problems persist relating to any of the ACUCOBOL-GT technologies listed below, refer to the documentation for the corresponding Micro Focus technology to help remediate your code.
