Hi everyone,
I am doing some test from the recently published Visual Cobol ebook by Micro Focus, the test is simple, but I'm trying to understand what's is wrong when I upgrade the java 8 jdk version.
- step 1 - create a HelloWorld.cbl with a simple sentence: display "Hello World"
- step 2 - compile with cobol HelloWorld.cbl jvmgen;
- step 3 - with java 8 update 51 run (from the Visual Cobol Command line 32 or 64 bits) the demo : java HelloWorld and runs ok
- step 4 - uninstall java 8 update 51 and install java 8 update 131 (the latest), add the environment variables JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH and add JAVA_HOME to the beginning of PATH variable
- JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_131
- CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib
- PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Users\Aheredia\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
- step 5: start a visual cobol command line (32 bits or 64 bits) and try to run the demo:
- java HelloWorldfail to run with message Error: Could not find or load main class HelloWorld
Why I cannot update the java version on my system and keep running the jvm cobol classes?
regards,
