Did you know you can run your COBOL applications inside a web page — and even mix them with modern JavaScript components?



This video shows how Veryant’s WebClient turns COBOL screens into HTML, lets JavaScript send actions to COBOL, and introduces the new IWC-PANEL for embedding things like Google Maps right inside your COBOL program.



The docs explain it simply: “Desktop applications will be rendered as HTML pages and will run unchanged in a browser.”



A great way to modernize without rewriting your entire system!

If your COBOL app slows down when crunching tons of records, there’s a smarter way. Run heavy file operations on an Application Server with a Remote Call and watch your performance jump. Less network traffic, faster results. Such a simple change, huge payoff.

Forbes India recently highlighted a growing industry tension: COBOL still powers the core of global financial and enterprise systems, yet the pool of engineers who can maintain it is steadily shrinking. The language isn’t disappearing—far from it. But maintaining these mission‑critical systems requires a practical path forward.

The good news is that COBOL is straightforward to learn, especially when your primary task is maintaining existing code rather than writing brand‑new COBOL applications. And with isCOBOL, you don’t have to choose between legacy stability and modern development. You can write all new functionality in Java, seamlessly integrating it with your existing COBOL business logic.

In other words: keep the proven foundation, modernize the layers above it.
No need to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Push-buttons on a toolbar are normally flat, in keeping with our modern tool-bar class isCOBOL uses (JToolBar). Did you know you can revert them back to the raised look fairly easily? Here's a new knowledge base article - KB358 - showing you how to do it without changing your code.

If you have a data structure that you use repeatedly, you can create a type definition for it with the TYPEDEF clause, then assign this definition to other variables with the USAGE syntax. Here's a newly updated KB article showing you how this works.

How to create your own type definitions and reuse them
How to create your own type definitions and reuse them
Create a complex variable definition and use the "usage" verb to create multiple instances of that definition to avoid repeating the copy/paste/rename used in legacy code working storage.
