COBOL85 (BS2000/OSD)
Version 2.3
High-Level ANS COBOL85-Compiler
Edition 07/1998
Product Characteristics
COBOL85 is the COBOL compiler,
providing support for the current
ANSI/ISO COBOL Standard, open
interfaces conforming to X/Open,
and future standards for the server
lines running BS2000/OSD.
COBOL (COmmon Business Ori-
ented Language) is a high-level,
problem-oriented programming lan-
guage which is based on natural
English. COBOL is by far the most
widely used programming language
for commercial data processing so-
lutions.
The strength of COBOL lies in the
efficiency with which it manipulates
and processes large volumes of
business-critical data. COBOL is the
programming language of the pro-
fessional programmer.
The functionality of COBOL85 con-
forms to the American National
Standard X3.23-1985 with Adden-
dum X3.23a-1989, the international
standard ISO 1989-1985 with
Amendment 1:1992, the German
standard DIN 66028-1986 and the
European standard EN 21989.
COBOL85 has been validated as
compliant with the above standard
and has the official conformity cer-
tificates to that effect.
