Visual COBOL allows you to continue to use your existing ACUCOBOL-GT data files, including Vision indexed data files.
Those files can also continue to be used through AcuServer, with minimal changes to your code required.
Alternatively, you can convert your Vision files to Micro Focus format. There is no need to convert your sequential data files.
