One of the oldest programming languages of all time has become more modern thanks to Visual COBOL. The COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language) programming language was launched more than 50 years ago, and it has been used by important companies for their computer systems, whether banks, big shipping companies or the general industry. The modernization of application in the business sector. With Visual COBOL, how people work with COBOL in general has been modernized, and it becomes much easier for new programmers to learn how to use it, because it now offers integration with.NET Framework and Java developments. The most powerful, accurate and with the greatest performance Furthermore, Visual COBOL has been especially designed to be able to harbor the projects created with it on the cloud by means of Microsoft Azure ( perfectly integrated with Visual Studio) or using the Microsoft.NET 4.0 platform.
Micro Focus Visual COBOL 4.0 for Eclipse (UNIX). One thing to consider in choosing is how easy the code will be to crack. In general, for the same algorithm,.
Visual COBOL deploys the Azure and.NET applications natively by using Microsoft's Intermediate Language. And in Java COBOL it's interpreted as byte code to be able to be launched from a JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Therefore, if you need to program with COBOL or you want to update your software based on COBOL while still using this programming language, download and try out Visual COBOL.

Most COBOL compilers have at least one manual that fully details the use of COPY and how to set up COPY libs. Many PC based COBOL compilers come with a directory full of sample programs, which may also contain at least one using COPY. If you have trouble understanding the manuals/code samples then we can possibly help you, but you must specify more details. (Compiler, version, sample of your coding attempt, etc.) Pete.

Like most people here, I am very happy to help, but you need to understand what I already said. Tell us WHAT COBOL you are using.
(That can change the advice you are given significantly). Try and make a SPECIFIC statement as to what exactly you are stuggling with, so we can address that. 'I want to know basics of COBOL.' (This is a GENERAL statement, not a SPECIFC one.) It is a high-level, English-like computer programming language. It is comprised of a hierarchic structure of DIVISIONS SECTIONS PARAGRAPHS STATEMENTS.
The statements enable you to define and manipulate data. COBOL source code gets compiled (by a COBOL Compiler) into instructions that are meaningful to the underlying hardware. (The above is a GENERAL answer, not a SPECIFIC one.) 'I want to know what infile and outfile are.
' This is a little more SPECIFIC, so I can answer a little more specifically.: 'infile' and 'outfile' are unknown to the COBOL language. In General: Had you posted a sample of the code (as mentioned in my previous response) we could see the context and then give a better answer to your question. If you had done some 'homework' on COBOL instead of expecting us to spoon-feed answers to you, you would realize the difference between a user-defined name and a COBOL reserved word. My advice: Get a book on COBOL programming and work through it. (SAM's COBOL in 24 hours, by Thane Hubbell is a very good one.) This will give you the basic understanding you wanted.
When you have that, please post any SPECIFIC problems you have, along with a statement of which compiler and environment you are using, and a sample of the problem code and I am sure you will receive help from this forum. 'I used to write COBOL.now I can do anything.'

I've googled far and wide and can't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. As the number of datatypes known to COBOL is not huge why not knock something up yourself?
I have systems that have to convert COBOL datatypes into C# and RDB types and back again. It wasn't difficult to build something that converts STRINGs, DECIMALs, DATETIMEs, FLOATs and NUMERICs between the different systems and defining test data for it wasn't difficult either. I have made the whole thing dynamic by generating from the COBOL FD a COBOL profile that contains (amongst other things) the dataname and base type for each element in XML. Types are established at runtime by accessing this XML (in memory) using LINQ-to-XML and loading the appropriate type for whatever is being used.
(C#, COBOL, or RDBMS). This provides a 'transport layer' (as part of the overall 'Data Access Layer') to get COBOL data to and from the database, using C# code and LINQ-to-SQL. Initial tests show it is around 4 times faster than embedded SQL. 'I used to write COBOL.now I can do anything.'

We use P.SQL7 SP5. Since there are many files and a lot of them have more than 100 fields (from which only some are needed) I tried to group blocks of fields to one string-type field. This is also necessary because some data is redefined so there can be text or numbers in one field depending on another field in the record.

That was a small slow machine, and to compile a COBOL program could take up to half an hour. As usual there were many changes and file fixups to do, and these could be done only by writing a COBOL program especially for that purpose. Even for a small program it could take half a day to code, punch, list, check, compile, fix errors, recompile, and test. COBOL being a somewhat verbose language, the source was punched into cards by expe. Hi, I need to change the some 1000 Program from COBOL II to Enterprise COBOL.

Please don't flame me over the perceived stupidity of such a choice, I think it is a better idea than a language that cannot compile itself. I do believe obviously that there is enough power in the language to implement a COBOL compiler using the COBOL language. After all, a compiler is simply a program to translate text from a source into a target.

Pass file descr. All On the subject of COBOL vs Java capabilities: 1. I started writing mainframe assembler 1970-1980. I bought a TRS-80 Model II in 1980 and developed PC/370 in Z80 assembler and then ported it to IBM PC with Intel 8086 in 1984. In 1988 I developed mainframe assembler in Intel MASM Assembler and licensed it to Pansophic for TELON and Micro Focus. In 1995 I joined Micro Focus and rewrite mainframe assembler in COBOL for Mainframe Express. In 2004 I left Micro Focus and rewrote mainframe assembler and emulator in open source Java named z390 (www.z390.org) that runs on Windows and Linus.
7 In 2008 I started developing mainframe COBOL compiler called zcobol (www.zcobol.org) written in open source z390 structured conditional macro assembler. I'm currently working on getting the NIST COBOL 1985 test suite running using zcobol. The z390 and zcobol HLASM assembler and COBOL tools are build on J2SE Java and can run on any java platform. The generated HLASM compatible souce code for both z390 and zcobol can also be run on native z9/z10 mainframe using the latest machine instructions including HFP, BFP, and DFP. After the initial 6 months painfully leanring all the java class and methods used for 90% of the code, I have become a java fan in addition to my life long assembler bias. But the fact that there is still tons of COBOL running the world's busness transactions has lead me back to COBOL learning every COBOL verb and phrase of every dialect.

Should this be true, then this MIGHT impact some OS/VS COBOL customers who have remained on OS/VS COBOL (rather than migrating to VS COBOL II or later.because. of ISAM support).
