This IBM Redbook details the configuration and use of some of the features of IBM VisualAge COBOL Version 3.

The mainframe application programmer can now use VisualAge COBOL to edit, compile, and debug an MVS application without even logging on to TSO. Although the programmer is working in a workstation environment, the source code remains on the mainframe, and the program is running in its target environment for debugging.

IBM VisualAge COBOL provides a state-of-the-art graphical user interface for all the tasks involved in the development and maintenance of mainframe applications, including batch, DB2, CICS, and IMS applications. Additionally, using a modern development environment to maintain and develop mission critical batch and server applications will help your company retain skilled COBOL developers while attracting talented new programmers who are familiar with similar tools used in Java.

This book introduces the reader to various development scenarios, showing how the Remote Edit/Compile/Debug model can help to increase the productivity of an application developer. Although written for VisualAge COBOL, this book can also be easily used as a reference for VisualAge PL/I.
