This page describes the different ways in which the NetCOBOL compiler from Fujitsu is packaged.
Fujitsu provides one NetCOBOL product packages for Windows, two for .NET, one for SPARC, one for HP-UX, and one for Linux so we are often asked, "Which is the right NetCOBOL for my purposes?". This page provides you with the answer.
Overview of Editions
There is actually only one NetCOBOL for .NET product, but you have the choice of buying it alone, or with the Enterprise edition of NetCOBOL for Windows.
- NetCOBOL for .NET Enterprise (contents)

Universal (contents) (.NET Ent. + Windows Ent.)
The NetCOBOL for SPARC Architecture package is:
- NetCOBOL for SPARC Architecture Enterprise Edition (contents)
The NetCOBOL for HP-UX package is:

NetCOBOL for Linux comes
in a single package:

Standard Edition (contents)
Choosing the
Right NetCOBOL for You
Targeting
only .NET
Migrating from a legacy environment and targeting only .NET
Targeting
only Windows
Targeting
both Windows and .NET
Targeting SPARC Architecture
Targeting HP-UX
Targeting Linux on Intel Architecture Machines
Targeting only .NET
If you only want
to write applications for the .NET environment you need NetCOBOL
for .NET Enterprise, unless you need some functions that are not
currently supported in the .NET product REPORT WRITER or SCREEN
SECTION, in which case you need NetCOBOL for .NET Universal.
Targeting both Windows and .NET
If you want to
write applications for both the Windows and .NET environments then
you need either NetCOBOL for .NET Universal.
Targeting only Windows
You need NetCOBOL for Windows Enterprise Edition.
Targeting SPARC Architecture (Solaris)
You need NetCOBOL for SPARC Architecture Enterprise Edition.
Targeting HP-UX
You need NetCOBOL for HP-UX Enterprise Edition.
NetCOBOL for HP-UX Enterprise Edition
Buy the Enterprise edition if you:
- Regard your
developers' time as important and want to be sure they have the
best tools immediately at hand. (All Enterprise features)
- Need the full
features of PowerBSORT - such as faster sorting, stand-alone sorting,
or sorting from other languages. (PowerBSORT)
NetCOBOL for HP-UX Standard Edition
Buy the Standard edition if you:
- Develop mission-critical
COBOL applications for UNIX workstations (COBOL compiler
and run-time)
- Can use a basic
tool for data file manipulations, such as creating test files,
editing data or converting from one file format to another. (COBOL
File Utility)
Targeting Linux on Intel Architecture Machines
If Linux is your target platform then your choice is simple
- you use NetCOBOL for Linux Standard Edition.
