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

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.

  • THe cobol animator hangs the putty session itself.. So nothing will work. I have to exit the putty and relogin again. It shows an error that "parent module not present in the current drive/directory – Vinoth Karthick Dec 09 '12 at 16:32

    Does animator pop up into a new window when you start debugging or does it launch in your current shell window? It should launch another window, which it sounds like may be the issue. I found a link that tells you everything you need to set up animator with putty. Try this and see if it works. http://kb.microfocus.com/display/4/kb/article.aspx?aid=34180 – Logan Dec 09 '12 at 20:16
  • When I am using animator , it opens in the same window... I will go through the link you provided and update you with the results – Vinoth Karthick Dec 11 '12 at 18:19
