Microfocus Cobol Animator Debugger

Question

I am using the Microfocus animator tool and I am able to debug the cobol executable from putty. The cobol animator tool converts the executable into source code and highlights the current executing statement.

But , the animator and the putty session hangs when it reaches the "GOBACK" statement in Cobol.

Please let me know how to resolve this

Answer 1

Have you tried pressing ESC and exiting the debugger? I know when I use it, it always stops at the end of the program, and you have to press ESC first, then say Yes to stop or Detatch.

I found this on the microfocus site. Check your settings and variables to see if they match what it says. Animator and Putty

Update - It looks like the link no longer works. I wonder if kb.microfocus.com changed their address for the url. The link was just to the KB of microfous.com.
