Tutorial: Creating a JVM COBOL Application Using a JavaFX Interface

This tutorial takes you through the steps to create a native COBOL program that uses copybooks to enable you to create, read, modify, and delete contact information from a file. You are taken through the steps to create native COBOL test cases that interact through a user interface created using the JavaFX library. You will compile the native COBOL programs as JVM Managed source.

Note: All projects discussed in this tutorial are available in the samples folder $COBDIR/demo.
