Fujitsu NetCOBOL for SPARC Architecture

Fujitsu® NetCOBOL® for SPARC Architecture is a complete COBOL development suite -- compiler, run-time libraries, and debug tool. The highly optimized code produced by NetCOBOL provides the basis for fast, mission-critical business systems on SPARC Architecture workstations (i.e. workstations running the Solaris Operating Environment).

Highlights: 
  • Develop mission-critical, single or multi-threaded COBOL applications for SPARC Architecture workstation
  • No COBOL runtime license charges!
  • Take advantage of extensive multi-vendor database support (SQL access to Oracle, and Sybase)
  • Maintain compatibility with existing code based on support for popular vendor extensions (IBM and Micro Focus) and compliance with ANSI and ISO standards
  • Full COBOL85 syntax
  • Direct access to Oracle Application Server
  • Verifies support of Oracle and Pro*COBOL
  • Create Web applications using either CGI or SAF subroutines
  • CBL_routines
  • Supports Unicode data
  • Supports 64-bit file access for large files under Solaris
  • Remote development from Windows workstations
  • Interactive Data Editor and Data Converter
  • PowerFORM run-time package for running graphical, COBOL-driven reports on Solaris platforms. (Forms are developed under Windows but can run under NetCOBOL for SPARC Architecture.)
  • PowerGEM resource management (required for remote development functions)
  • PowerBSORT high performance sort/merge program
Benefits: 
  • The rich complement of functions built into NetCOBOL serves as the basis for fast-turnaround development efforts. Industry extensions compatible with those from Micro Focus and IBM ensure broad compatibility and a full choice of powerful functions.
  • NetCOBOL offers a number of features to help speed application development as well as execution times. Because program links are automatically reconstructed following compilation, errors are usually easily identifiable.
  • In the debug tool, you can view data in the watch data window, set break points, and view I/O in the program I/O window. As a result, you complete your work faster and produce higher quality code.
