Enterprise Developer Tutorials

There are a number of tutorials that guide you through creating mainframe and COBOL applications using the Eclipse IDE. The source files for some of the tutorials are installed in subfolders of the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples folder by default. On older versions of Windows the samples might be installed in a different folder, such as for Windows XP, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples. These can be installed but are not supported.

The following tutorials are available:
