** The EGL debugger supports ibmcobol on Windows or for Java code generated for Windows to provide access to remote VSAM files located on z/OS. Java code generated for AIX also supports ibmcobol to provide access to local files. The EGL debugger does not support ibmcobol on Linux or for Java code generated for any runtime environment other than Windows or AIX.
