What is GNT file?

The file with the extension GNT is the Developer Files file type. The creator of this file is Micro Focus International plc. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Micro Focus COBOL Generated Code is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Net Express application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Micro Focus International plc.

How to open GNT file?

The most common problem when using Micro Focus COBOL Generated Code is that a specific GNT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GNT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GNT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Net Express

The first step is to check if the computer has the Net Express program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Net Express in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GNT with Net Express. Below is a list of programs that support the file GNT.

Programs to open GNT file

Remember to download programs supporting GNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Net Express with GNT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GNT file still does not use the Net Express program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Net Express application as the default for handling the GNT file.

Step 3. Update Net Express to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Net Express program, it is possible that Micro Focus COBOL Generated Code requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Micro Focus International plc website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GNT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The GNT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GNT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GNT file. Sometimes virus-infected GNT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GNT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GNT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Micro Focus International plc help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GNT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GNT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GNT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
