I would be happy to sit in on a screensharing session and see it work. As described this works differently than the similar MF option; I have used that option for many years.

Regardless of whether the data is stored in a database or in a regular file in order to achieve transactional integrity there needs to be some kind of monitor that stays up after the business logic program dies. Relying on the user executable to back out an update is a fool's errand. You have to consider the case of a kill -9 on the user program. One could argue that a kill -9 could happen on the monitor process; but the monitor process should be running as a service user and not be subject to a...

As part of OpenKicks we wrote an EXTFH that replaces the C-ISAM files with database tables and then one gets the commit and rollback associated with the database. It is not open source.

“intention is to prevent this from moving forward.” What are you observing that makes you say that? What is “this”?

I would like 32bit GnuCOBOL to be maintained. There is a lot of code on mainframes that are coded with redefined pointers and other idioms that are hard to convert to 64bit. Although 32bit on Linux is getting harder to do, you can still install 32bit libraries on a 64bit machine.

Thanks for the replies. All useful links and tools. The code base that I am tasked with looking at is in the 10s of millions of lines. I am looking for something that analyzes the code enmasse.

I would like to gather a list of tools that people have used to analyze the structure of a large base of COBOL code. I have never used them but I am tasked with evaluating existing tools and integrating them into OpenKIcks. What have you used? What are you aware of? Sample output.

This is a status report in case anyone wants to comment: I did not find anyone that knew the monarch syntax and had any idea about COBOL so we are trying to write this ourselves. All the samples I find are too simple to be useful. I used ChatGPT 4o and it actually came up with some code fragments that kinda worked and we could patch up.
