OS/VS COBOL is no longer supported by IBM (although equivalent runtime support can be accomplished through the use of Language Environment), and it only supported 16-bit addressing. The specific name for these compilers was the OS/VS COBOL Compiler and Library (5740-CB1). However, since your question seems oriented to compilers, I'm guessing you mean the original COBOL compilers from IBM, which were replaced by VS COBOL II.

COBOL is a generic term that's used to describe the programming language, the compilers, runtime libraries, the object code, etc., so this could be a variety of things.

Posted: Mon 4:01 pm Post subject: do any one has manual fo rmicro focus cobol The front-end VB will accept input values, call the necessary COBOL DLL, retrieves data from Oracle and puts it back in to the screen.MF COBOL is a variation of COBOL language - this is used to develop code in the NetExpress platform. The COBOL code was developed using MF Net Express and was converted into DLLs. I do not have in-depth knowledge on this, but I can explain the area which we used in one of my earlier projects - we used a front-end of VB, a back-end of Oracle and a middle layer consisting of COBOL. Net express is an IDE - this provides a platform from which we can develop cobol programs and also create them as DLLs. If you are migrating legacy code to a more open system (like UNIX), is it completely automated by using Net Express? Or is it some kind of a high level code generator where you don't need to actually code anything. Is it Microfocus COBOL or something else. Is it possible to have a license of only Microfocus COBOL (The compiler only) without the Net Express suite of products.Īnd what language does Net Express use?. Although, they are from the same company, how are they same or different?. I actually could not find the relationship between Microfocus COBOL and Net Express. I was also interested in Microfocus products some time back. Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgement. Using NetExpress & MicroFocus Cobol you develop Windows and Unix based applications. Net Express(a Micro Focus Product )is a powerful development environment for creating PC, distributed, and Internet applications. What is the connection between Microfocus Cobol and Net express?Ĭan I see some Manual or Documentation for it? Posted: Fri 4:42 pm Post subject: Microfocus Cobol.
