NetCOBOL for .NET
Fujitsu NetCOBOL for .NET is a COBOL compiler created specifically for Microsoft's .Net Framework. This means that it:
- Produces Microsoft's Intermediate Language (MSIL) that executes under the Common Language Runtime (CLR). This language-neutral, platform independent environment enables COBOL code to be mixed with any other .NET-supporting language (such as C# and VB .NET) on any .NET-supporting platform.
- Adapts OO COBOL syntax, and supports .NET-specific extensions, so that COBOL programs can be written to take full advantage of the .NET Framework classes.
- Includes Microsoft® Visual Studio Shell – i.e. Visual Studio without any other Microsoft languages, providing the integrated development environment (IDE) for NetCOBOL for .NET.
These features allow you to bring COBOL fully into the world of Internet applications including XML Web services and ASP.NET pages, and to integrate that code with code written in other languages. The .NET Framework gives access to the latest technology and NetCOBOL for .NET ensures this is immediately available to COBOL programmers. COBOL-85 code and, with the help of NeoKicks, NeoBatch, and NeoSort, mainframe CICS and batch programs can be compiled and run, enabling you to leverage your current COBOL assets.
NetCOBOL for .NET can be purchased in two different packages: Enterprise and Universal. The Enterprise package contains the .NET-supporting components along with some other COBOL development tools. It only supports the development of applications that will execute in the .NET environment. The Universal package is a combination of the NetCOBOL for .NET Enterprise and the NetCOBOL for Windows Enterprise products, giving you our Windows application development environment along with the leading-edge NetCOBOL for .NET product.
