PowerCOBOL conforms to COM design guidelines.
This means that:
You can include ActiveX controls designed in other development systems and can create ActiveX controls for use with other applications.
You can interact with OLE automation servers from PowerCOBOL event procedures by using COBOL programs in a similar way to using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
You can develop OLE automation server applications with PowerCOBOL that are driven from VBA.
Working with COM has greater memory requirements than earlier versions of PowerCOBOL. Therefore ensure that your target machines have sufficient memory to support the new COM-compliant systems.
