    GnuCOBOL

    GnuCOBOL

    A free COBOL compiler

    GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL) is a free, modern COBOL compiler. GnuCOBOL implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, X/Open COBOL and newer ISO COBOL standards (2002, 2014, 2023), as well as many extensions included in other COBOL compilers (IBM COBOL, MicroFocus COBOL, ACUCOBOL-GT and others). GnuCOBOL translates COBOL into C and internally compiles the translated code using a native C compiler. Build COBOL programs on various platforms, including GNU/Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. GnuCOBOL has also been built on HP/UX, z/OS, SPARC, RS6000, AS/400, along with other combinations of machines and operating systems. Copyright 2001-2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

    EDITEL

    EDITEL is a screen editor/code generator for GnuCOBOL programmers

    One of the hardest things to do when coding with COBOL is translating a screen design into code. The process may take hours, not to say days. In my old BLIS-COBOL, COBOL 74 and COBOL 80 /85 days (and those last 2 had the SCREEN SECTION which helped a lot !), I recall spending a significant amount of time dedicated to that activity. Time that could be used for more productive activities like coding and resolving bugs, for instance. Having said that, I developed a Screen Editor (similar to a Screen Painter, as some tools may call it) which allows the user to create screen layouts (which includes the use of colors) with delimited fields and respective input masks, and finally generate the SCREEN SECTION code that reflects that layout. All of it automatically - no code needed. The idea came from a program I used to use named EDITEL. I have adapted the concept (it was originally built for BLIS COBOL systems) and created a version that does this for GnuCOBOL and Microfocus COBOL. Enjoy !

    L'objectif de ce projet est de créer un environnement de développement intégré moderne pour AS400; et déporté sur un environnement fenêtré Windows. La modernisation du poste du développeur n’existe pas seulement pour ce que l’on appelle les « nouvelles technos » telles que java, C#, service web … .Les projets de développement sur des technos plus anciennes comme l’AS400 ou MVS doivent aussi bénéficier de ces avancées. Le système AS400 est souvent déprécié des jeunes développeurs car son interface verte et noire 5250 rudimentaire en mode caractère rebute rapidement; et est bien moins attrayant et facile à prendre en main qu’un Eclipse, WinDev ou Visual studio. Pourtant, IBM fourni aux développeurs tous les outils nécessaires pour accéder à un hôte iSeries de l'extérieur (ODBC, JDBC).

    This project has moved to GitHub ! The version here at SourceForge will remain for historic purpose. Koopa is a parser generator, made for COBOL. It can handle source files in isolation (no preprocessing required) and doesn't mind the presence of CICS/SQL fragments. The grammar is easily extensible in a way which minimizes the impact on the overall code.
