Development on the OpenCOBOL 1.1 pre-release continued until February 2009. In May 2012, active development transitioned to SourceForge, and the February 2009 pre-release was officially marked as a release. [3] In late September 2013, OpenCOBOL was accepted as a GNU Project, renamed to GNU Cobol, and then finally to GnuCOBOL in September 2014. [4]
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 standards have repeatedly suffered from delays: COBOL-85 arrived five years later than hoped, [193] COBOL 2002 was five years late, [3] and COBOL 2014 was six years late. [101] [194] To combat delays, the standard committee allowed the creation of optional addenda which would add features more quickly than by waiting for the next standard ...

[2] [3] [4] It provided a common interface among the disparate programming languages available to the AS/400 computer platform. ILE was an improvement on the two existing programming models available on OS/400 – the Original Program Model (OPM), which was used for traditional business programming languages such as RPG and COBOL; and the ...
A picture clause element defines how a particular data item should be formatted, for output. It consists of a string of letters and digits. It is similar to the FORTRAN format specifier seen in the READ and WRITE statements, or the formatting strings seen in more modern languages like C. This became an important part of COBOL.
