Description-en: COBOL compiler
GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL) is a free, modern COBOL compiler. GnuCOBOL
implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, COBOL 2002 and COBOL 2014
standards and X/Open COBOL, as well as many extensions included in other COBOL
compilers (IBM COBOL, MicroFocus COBOL, ACUCOBOL-GT and others).
.
GnuCOBOL translates COBOL into C and 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.
.
While being held to a high level of quality and robustness, GnuCOBOL does not
claim to be a “Standard Conforming” implementation of COBOL.
.
GnuCOBOL passes over 9600 of the NIST COBOL 85 test suite tests and over 750
internal checks during build.
