Visual Object COBOL 1.0

Visual Object COBOL is an object-oriented COBOL development environment created by Micro Focus. It combines standard COBOL with object-oriented extensions and visual development tools to help teams build and modernize Windows-based, client/server applications while reusing existing COBOL business logic.

Key capabilities:

• Object-oriented COBOL: classes, methods, encapsulation, and inheritance to structure and reuse code.
• Visual development: form and UI designers with event-driven programming for Windows applications.
• Integration: COM/OLE/ActiveX support and access to Windows APIs for component-based solutions.
• Data access: connectivity to relational databases via ODBC and embedded SQL.
• Tooling: integrated compiler, project management, debugging, and runtime components for development and deployment.

Ideal for organizations that want to extend established COBOL systems with modern, GUI-driven functionality and component interoperability on Windows, without abandoning proven COBOL codebases.

Visual Object COBOL is developed by Micro Focus. The most popular version of this product among our users is 1.0. The name of the program executable file is VISOC.EXE.
