There are a number of tutorials that guide you through creating COBOL applications of various sorts using the Eclipse IDE. The source files for some of the tutorials are installed in subfolders of the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\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\Visual COBOL\Samples. These can be installed but are not supported.
