  • COBOL source file creation and editing
  • Running an application
  • Debugging

The tutorial uses the TICTAC COBOL program. The program has a number of features that demonstrate the particular aspects of your product and it's recommended that you use this program for the tutorial. You can, however, use your own COBOL program if you want.
