You need to be able to trust your COBOL compiler to generate code that does what you tell it to do – that it doesn’t introduce unexpected behaviors or bugs. Many customers who come to NetCOBOL for Windows make comments like “It just works!” (i.e. no messing with complex options, no hours of debugging problems that turn out not to be yours, no need to rely on technical support to make things work). If you have experienced anything different, you know that NetCOBOL’s reliability is a HUGE benefit.
  • The fact that there are no runtime license fees when distributing applications built with NetCOBOL can make a big difference to your bottom line
  • One package covers the majority of your program development needs: editing, debugging, forms, printing and data file maintenance
