Compaq Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Compaq COBOL Version 2.8 for Tru64 UNIX Systems SPD 51.16.11 DESCRIPTION Compaq COBOL for Tru64 UNIX Systems is a high-level language for busi- ness data processing that operates on Compaq's Tru64 UNIX Operating System. Compaq COBOL is based upon the 1985 ANSI COBOL Standard X3.23- 1985 as modified by the X.23a-1989 amendment. It is designed to be closely compatible with both Compaq COBOL for OpenVMS VAX Systems and Compaq COBOL for OpenVMS Alpha Systems with some limitations. Compaq COBOL adheres to the high level by the National Bureau of Stan- dards for conformance to FIPS PUB 21-3, Federal Standard COBOL. Compaq COBOL includes various Compaq extensions to COBOL, such as file sharing and the ANSI Report Writer facility, pointer data types, and enhanced CALL statement. Compaq COBOL for Tru64 UNIX Systems also in- cludes some X/OPEN features. Compaq COBOL Version 2.8 for Tru64 UNIX Systems includes the follow- ing new functionality and documentation: o Run-time currency sign handling compatible with the draft ANSI-2002 standard o Enhanced support for extended (>65,535 bytes) alphanumerics o Run-time performance improvements with the reenabling of decimal shadowing o Unified documentation set for Compaq COBOL on VAX and Alpha sys- tems. December 2002 For recent release specific technical information such as feature en- hancements, bug fixes, restrictions and compatibility charts, please refer to the Compaq COBOL Version 2.8 Release Notes. For added flexibility and for compatibility with Compaq COBOL for Open- VMS VAX, the following Compaq extensions to COBOL are implemented in Compaq COBOL: o The DISPLAY WITH CONVERSION and ACCEPT WITH CONVERSION extensions, which convert data from internal numeric format to "ASCII display format" and "ASCII display" input characters to internal numeric formats, as appropriate. o File sharing and record locking features enable more than one user to access data at the same time. o Conditional compilation serves to make debugging easier. o Source program terminal format recognition is supported. Compaq COBOL implements several COBOL language extensions designed to make programming easier in the Tru64 UNIX environment: o Names Flag-Manipulates the case of names visible to the linker o CALL statement extensions: BY VALUE, OMITTED, and GIVING o USAGE IS POINTER-Address data type o VALUE IS REFERENCE-Compile time address evaluation o SET TO REFERENCE-Run-time address evaluation o SUCCESS/FAILURE-Class conditions Other extensions include: o 31-digit numeric user items and 32-digit intermediates o Thirty-one-character user names o ACCEPT AT END statement o Single-quote-delimited, non-numeric literals 2 o Hyphen/underscore equivalence in user names o Non-numeric literal argument passing o Enhanced support for "foreign" extensions with improved diagnos- tic messages o Transarc Encina SFS record support for transaction processing ap- plications in conjunction with ACMSxp o X/Open SCREEN SECTION o X/Open specified RETURN-CODE special register o X/Open specified ASSIGN TO syntax o X/Open file sharing and record locking features o X/Open command line and environment variable support via ACCEPT and DISPLAY o X/Open LINE SEQUENTIAL The Compaq COBOL compiler produces an object module from a source pro- gram. The compiler is capable of producing a source listing with em- bedded diagnostics indicating the line and position of a source-code error, a machine language listing, a file-name map, a data-name map, a procedure-name map, an external program name map, and a cross-reference listing. The cross-reference listing and maps may be produced in ei- ther alphabetical order or in order of declaration. The cross-reference listing distinguishes destructive references to data from read-only references. Object modules produced by the compiler can be linked with other ob- ject modules produced by many other languages, including Compaq C and Compaq Fortran. Compaq COBOL is supported by the Compaq Ladebug for Tru64 UNIX Systems debugger. The Compaq COBOL product includes a COBOL compiler and the REFORMAT utility. The REFORMAT utility converts source programs from Compaq COBOL terminal format to ANSI-standard COBOL format and vice versa. Run-Time Library Redistribution 3 The Compaq COBOL media kit may include updated Run-Time Library share- able objects. Compaq grants the user a nonexclusive, royalty-free, world- wide right to reproduce and distribute the executable version of the run-time libraries designated as libcob.so and libots2.so (the "RTLs") provided that the user: o Distributes the RTLs only in conjunction with and as a part of the user's software application product that is designed to operate in the Tru64 UNIX environment. o Does not use Compaq's name, logo, or trademarks to market the user's software application product. o Includes Compaq's copyright notice for Compaq COBOL on the user's product disk label and on the title page of the documentation for software application product. o Agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Compaq from and against any claims or lawsuits, including attor- ney's fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of the software application product. Except as expressly provided herein, Compaq grants no implied or express license under any of its patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, or any license or other pro- prietary interests and rights. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Processors Supported Any Alpha system that is capable of running Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 or higher. Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1) Disk space required for installation: Root file system: / 0 Kbytes Other file systems: /usr 13,600 Kbytes /tmp 400 Kbytes 4 /var 0 Kbytes Disk space required for use (permanent): Root file system: / 0 Kbytes Other file systems: /usr 14,000 Kbytes /var 0 Kbytes These counts refer to the disk space required on the system disk.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1, Version 5.1A, or Version 5.1B OPTIONAL SOFTWARE Required to use ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED: INFORMIX C-ISAM run-time package and license Indexed file support for Compaq COBOL Version 2.8 for Tru64 UNIX Sys- tems requires the use of a non-Compaq software product that provides this feature. This release of Compaq COBOL has been tested only with Informix Soft- ware, Inc.'s C-ISAM Version 5.00 for the UNIX environment on Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 and higher. For specific features of the C-ISAM product, please refer to the then-current INFORMIX Technical Brief. Compaq is not responsible for functional changes to the C-ISAM prod- uct, interfaces, or other aspects of the product that may cause in- correct operation or results with Compaq COBOL after the release of Compaq COBOL Version 2.8 for Tru64 UNIX Systems. 5 GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS The minimum hardware/software requirements for any future version of this product may be different from the requirements for the current version. DISTRIBUTION MEDIA Media and documentation for these products are available on the Com- paq Tru64 UNIX Alpha Software Layered Products Library Package (QA- 054AA-H8). Documentation in hardcopy format can be ordered separately.
