I don't believe their IDE is Eclipse or Visual Studio based. Therefore, they wouldn't be able to shell share and gain the benefit of the integrated rich client. However, since RTC also provides an SCM command line client and Web UI, you may be able to use RTC in combination (albeit unintegrated) with MicroFocus Cobol.

I do not know if this applies to the microfocus IDE, but some IDE's I have seen have the ability to be configured with custom commands for specific SCM actions like check in etc. This means that you could possibly configure it to use the RTC CLI.

Have you investigated if the microfocus IDE can be configured like this ?
