I assume you don't ask about the original OCEAN debugger but the integrated work found in a gnucobol feature branch. If this assumption is correct: There is currently no work on this but I was told people use it as it is. The only thing that is expected to be released soon is the GnuCOBOL 3.0-rc1, with support of REPORT WRITER module, bugfixes to GnuCOBOL 2.2 and new/improved support for many extensions found in other COBOL dialects. I won't go into the details as there will be an announcement on this list when the rc-1 is out. ... but the debugger branch has nobody that works on it (others do work on debugging features but there's nothing published yet). The debugger branch may be obsolete if/when other options come available. Note: there is still the "original" version that provided the idea for OCEAN: TP-COBOL-DEBUGGER https://sourceforge.net/projects/tp-cobol-debugg/ While I did not tested it since months you may want to check its status. The most current release (with claimed support for GnuCOBOL 2.x): 2.23 from 12-08-2017 Simon > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2018 21:29:28 +0200 > > Hello, > > is there any news about Ocean debugger expected to be released this spring? > > Thanks > > Marcello
