What platform can it be used on?Įverywhere Visual Studio Code works. This extension uses the Visual Studio Code APIs because the Language Server Protocol did not exist when this extension was created. Visual Studio Code has two ways of providing language extensions, the first is provided by the use of a language server protocol and the second is via a set of Visual Studio Code APIs. Does this extension include a language server protocol for COBOL It does provide enough functionality for the casual developer to view, edit and compile source code (via tasks & problem matchers). This extension is certainly not an Integrated Development Environment for COBOL. This extension was originally aimed at providing syntax highlighting for COBOL but overtime is has been extended to provide syntax highlighting for other related languages/file formats such JCL, PL/I and Micro Focus directive files and Micro Focus Unit Test Reports.
