  1. Micro Focus Net Express IDE

  2. Net Express 4.0 IDE • Create / Incorporate Custom tools in the IDE • Using the Type Library Assistant • Browse and Go • Browse • Quick Browse • Remote Debugging • Using Revolve Point of Interest files with Net Express IDE • User Defined Extensions – if you are using your own extensions for Source, Copybooks, or Datafiles • Setup a GDT COBOL project and practice these functions and much more at the Hands on Lab at 3:15pm today!

  3. Create Custom Tools • Demonstration • Incorporate a tool to the Net Express 4.0 IDE that will be used to add a line number to a program and also add a comment in column 73-80. • Components • RESEQNID.CBL – source of the Tool to be used within the IDE • COBOLPGM.CBL – Cobol Skeleton program • BUILDTOOL.BAT – Batch script to create an exe for the tool • TOOL.APP – Net Express Project

  4. Create an .exe for ReseqnID.cbl We will first open up the Net Express Command Prompt

  5. Create an .exe for ReseqnID.cbl Location of the .bat script and COBOL programs

  6. Create an .exe for ReseqnID.cbl Inside the script that builds the .exe

  7. Create an .exe for ReseqnID.cbl The Build script is run

  8. Open the TOOL project

  9. Customize the IDE From the Options menu select Customize IDE

  10. Customize the IDE Under the Tools tab we will press the New Tool button

  11. Customize the IDE Use the Program button to locate the ReseqnID.exe Enter the Tool name

  12. Customize the IDE

  13. Customize the IDE Press Apply to add the tool to the IDE

  14. Customize the IDE The tool ReseqnID is now available.

  15. Look at the original program

  16. Run the ReseqnID tool

  17. Using the Type Library Assistant • The question: Can anyone point me to a good source for information about the methods that excel supports? I need to build a COBOL program that builds an excel spreadsheet, loads it to an excel chart and populates a word document with the excel chart • Basically we need to use Net Express to create a COBOL application that creates a chart in Excel and copies and pastes the chart into Word using OLE Automation. • If you want to see how to code the methods in COBOL then from the Net Express IDE select Tools->Type Library Assistant and scroll through the list of available COM servers until you find "Microsoft Excel ?.0 Object Library".

  18. Type Library Assistant • Basic Definitions: • COM (Communication Object Module) – is the umbrella term that encompasses the OLE, OLE Automation, Activex as well as other technologies. • OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) - is a distributed object system and protocol • OLE Automation - It provides an infrastructure whereby applications called automation controllers can access and manipulate (i.e. set properties of or call methods on) shared automation objects that are exported by other applications. • Use the Type Library Assistant to interrogate COM type libraries and generate COBOL copyfiles for inclusion in your programs.
