Overview:
Maximize hardware utilization, reduce CPU usage and improve performance of critical applications
IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS® is a premier enterprise-class COBOL compiler for IBM z/OS. It enables the modernization of business-critical applications, enhances programmer productivity with advanced programming features and maximizes the benefits of transactional and data systems such as IBM CICS®, IBM IMS and IBM Db2®.
Highlights
- Support of IBM z16 to maximize your hardware investment, reduce CPU usage, and improve performance of critical COBOL applications
- Improved Java/COBOL interoperability to easily extend the capabilities of your COBOL applications with Java
- Interoperability between AMODE 31 (31-bit) and AMODE 64 (64-bit) COBOL programs to handle your growing COBOL program data without converting the entire application to run in AMODE 64
- Support for user-defined functions to enable you to write your own functions and invoke them like intrinsic functions, improving code modularity and maintainability
- Support for function prototypes to define the function name, parameters, and return value of a user-defined function or external functions such as C functions and invoke these functions
- Improved integration with IBM Automatic Binary Optimizer for z/OS so modules compiled today can benefit from future IBM Z hardware enhancements without recompilation
Features:
