COBOL Development

The NetCOBOL line of compilers from Fujitsu has been supporting application development for over four decades, always with the focus on reliability and high performance. Since its introduction to the US and worldwide markets in 1994, NetCOBOL (originally called “Fujitsu COBOL”) has been recognized as a leader for these qualities and the provision of FREE COBOL runtime licenses.

NetCOBOL for .NET was the first COBOL compiler created for the .NET Framework and today provides tight integration with Visual Studio, one of the best environments available for application development.

Highlights: 
  • Highest performance and reliability
  • No COBOL runtime license charges!
  • Standards Compliant (Full ANSI Standard COBOL X3.23 1985)
  • Good compatibility with VS COBOL II, OS/VS COBOL and Micro Focus COBOL
  • COBOL compilers available for .NET, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX
Benefits: 
  • Knowing that you can trust your production code to execute as written should be a given, but has not always been the case in the COBOL compiler market. You want to know that if something goes wrong it is almost certain to be an application programming error and that fixing it is totally under your control. That’s what NetCOBOL gives you.
  • Another important business element is that when you distribute your COBOL applications you can do so economically and with predictable costs - now and into the future. NetCOBOL gives you this certainty because there are no runtime charges for distributing your COBOL applications.
  • Responsive support. Because NetCOBOL is a highly reliable product our support staff has the time to respond to questions submitted and help resolve our customers’ challenges.
  • Productive, innovative COBOL development. The support of modern development environments and integration with the latest technologies such as the .NET Framework, means that COBOL development teams can be more productive than ever before and support exciting business innovations.
