- ACUCOBOL-GT enables programmers to
implement and deliver full-featured GUI COBOL
applications on any of over 600 platforms, with full
object code portability using a single set of source
code. Programmers can create graphical applications
including floating windows, graphical controls (such as
entry fields, frames, radio buttons, push buttons, and
labels), menu bars, bitmaps, and toolbars using COBOL
extensions that are consistent with traditional COBOL
syntax.
- ACUCOBOL-85 - is a powerful ANSI-85
COBOL compiler that offers exceptionally compact, highly
optimized machine-independent code. ACUCOBOL-85 is
portable across over 600 different platforms, including:
AIX, AOS/VS, BSD/OS, DG/UX, Digital UNIX, HP-UX, Linux,
MS-DOS, MPE/iX, Open VMS, OS/2, Solaris, Ultrix, UNIX,
UnixWare, Windows, Windows NT, and Xenix.
- CA-Realia COBOL - is a comprehensive,
mainframe-compatible COBOL development platform for the
PC. It enables users to downsize mainframe applications
to produce cost-effective PC-LAN-based applications;
offload mainframe COBOL program development to PC-based
programmer workstations; and develop state-of-the-art PC
applications.
- IBM COBOL - is now a member of the
VisualAge Family. Visual development gets you off to a
fast start, and compatible IBM COBOL compilers keep you
up to speed on multiple platforms.
- Micro Focus Object COBOL - is a
powerful development environment for PC application
developers. It includes the Micro Focus COBOL compiler
and a number of development, debugging and packaging
tools to enable high-performance 32-bit COBOL and Object
COBOL applications to be developed. Object COBOL includes
unique 'COBOL As A Class' support, enabling you to extend
the value of your current COBOL programs by including
them in new OO applications - simply by recompiling! By
combining this with support for IBM's System Object Model
(SOM), Object COBOL provides a unique way to integrate
'legacy' systems with new OO systems and desktop
applications. Micro Focus Object COBOL also provides all
the functionality you would expect from an object
oriented compiler - including encapsulation,
polymorphism, inheritance, and persistence. The compiler
supports Object COBOL syntax - a super-set of the
proposed ANSI standard for Object Oriented COBOL as well
as the highest level of ANSI standard COBOL syntax along
with many other syntax variants, including those of IBM's
mainframe COBOL compilers.Object COBOL includes a
graphical Animator v2 and graphical Class Browser.
Animator v2 is simply the best GUI language debugger and
editor available. Animator v2 enables you to edit,
compile, and debug your production code (at source level)
within a single, powerful visual environment. The
graphical Class Browser enables you to view existing
class definitions and create new sub-classes. The Browser
and Animator v2 are linked together, providing a flexible
way of developing and debugging object oriented
applications. This combination of language and tools
offers the best way forward for today's COBOL
programmers.
RM/COBOL compiles to an
architecture-neutral, intermediate source code, which is
executed by the runtime. If end-users wish to run the
application on a different platform, all they have to do
is add another runtime. This runtime reads the same code
as the original, so no recompiling is necessary.
