Investment protection for your individual applications

COBOL is used to develop professional software applications on the basis of secure transactions for ERP business processes. These applications are mostly tailor-made for customers whose requirements cannot be met by standard software. The main purpose of these applications with their customer-specific application logic is to secure competitive advantage. They represent long-term investment and customer know-how. Such cost-intensive developments need to be protected. .

The benefits are:

  • With the COBOL2000 compiler, the conformance check on call interfaces at compilation time using Repository is carried out not only for the OO language elements but also for subroutine calls.
  • COBOL2000 supports the POSIX and XPG4 programming interfaces.
  • Existing COBOL85 programs can still be run and usually can continue to be used without modification.
  • The generated /390 format guarantees binary compatibility for running BS2000 customer applications even following future changes in architecture.
  • COBOL2000 supports the data type NATIONAL in order to display characters in the character set Unicode UTF-16.

Software requirements:

  • FUJITSU Software BS2000 CRTE is requirement for use of the COBOL2000 compiler and for running COBOL2000 applications.
