Chapter 4 Animator Animator is a powerful menu-driven tool for debugging your COBOL programs. It displays your source code and your application in windows on the screen, highlighting each line of the source as your program is executed. This process is referred to as animating. In addition to Animator, this COBOL system also provides a base Animator, which does not contain all of the Animator's enhanced functionality, such as windows. The base Animator has been supplied for users whose machines may not meet Animator's memory requirements, but who still require a simple but effective tool for debugging programs. See your Release Notes if you are unsure whether base Animator has been supplied for your environment. This chapter describes the complete set of functions in both the Animator and base Animator. The term Animator can be taken to mean both the Animators unless one or the other is specifically referenced.
