Debugging

Displaying debug information for managed applications
You can set the DEBUG constant for managed COBOL projects on the COBOL tab in the project properties. This enables you to use the System.Diagnostics.Debug class in your applications to ensure they write diagnostic information in the Output window for projects compiled for Debug but not for projects compiled for Release.
Changing the display format for individual items in the Watch window
It is now possible to change the display format for individual items in the Watch window in COBOL. To do this, click a row, press F2, and type: Variable,h or Variable,x to always display the values in hexadecimal format; Variable,d to always display the values of variables in decimal format, and of strings - as text.
