HP COBOL (formerly known as Compaq or DIGITAL (DEC and VAX) COBOL) is a
high-level language for business data processing that operates on the
OpenVMS (VAX, Alpha, and Integrity servers) and Tru64 UNIX (Alpha) platforms. It is a
high-performance, optimizing compiler environment that is based upon the
1985 ANSI COBOL Standard X3.23-1985 as modified by the X.23a-1989
amendment.
COBOL is designed to maximize source-code level compatibility between
supported platforms. The HP extensions to COBOL include screen handling
(ACCEPT/DISPLAY) at the source language level, file sharing, record
locking, and more. Support for ORACLE CDD/Repository and some X/Open
features are also provided.
