COBOL 2002 also introduced free-format code. Free-format code can be placed in any column of the file, as in newer programming languages. Comments are specified using *>, which can be placed anywhere and can also be used in fixed-format source code. Continuation lines are not present, and the >>PAGE directive replaces the / indicator.

Use of IBM COBOL was so widespread that Capex Corporation, an independent software vendor, made a post-code generation phase object code optimizer for it. [3] The Capex Optimizer became a quite successful product. [4] Although the IBM COBOL Compiler Family web site [5] only mentions AIX, Linux, and z/OS, IBM still offers COBOL on z/VM and z/VSE.
COBOL and PL/I also have a system-independent method of specifying printer controls. The compiler or run-time will translate these options into the appropriate control character. The compiler or run-time will translate these options into the appropriate control character.
GnuCOBOL translates a COBOL program (source code) into a C program. The C program can then be compiled into the actual code used by the computer (object code) or into a library where other programs can call (link to) it. On UNIX and similar operating systems (such as Linux), the GNU C compiler is used for this process.
IBM provides ILE compilers for C, C++, RPG, COBOL and CL. [1] For RPG, COBOL and CL, there are both OPM compilers (still sometimes used for legacy applications) and the new ILE compilers. Likewise, as well as ILE C, there was an earlier EPM-based C/400, although that has been discontinued.
A leading Java IDE with built-in code inspection and analysis. Plugins for Checkstyle, FindBugs, and PMD. JArchitect: 2017-06-11 No; proprietary Simplifies managing a complex code base by analyzing and visualizing code dependencies, defining design rules, doing impact analysis, and by comparing different versions of the code. Jtest: 2019-05-21
The LINC system created 3rd GL COBOL (application), DMSII (database definition), NDLII (network description), and WFL (job control) source code. The job control statements were themselves subsequently run to compile the other elements and create an integrated system of database, applications, and user terminal network.
McNeil designed the template COBOL programs and Christensen coded the macros to generate the actual COBOL programs. They created a system that could generate COBOL code from screen layouts created by users. The COBOL ran in IBM's TSO interactive environment and it allowed the users and engineers to test screen flow. When a user wanted a change ...
