COBOL-IT
High-performance Compiler Solutions at fair prices
The first and so far only open source based COBOL compiler with extensive professional support for your core business activities. COBOL-IT enables you to transfer proven COBOL applications to C. By doing so, you can provide these applications on a wide range of different platforms. This solution supports both AIX and z/Linux on IBM mainframes as well as the open systems Unix, Linux, and Windows.
Advantages
A modern alternative
COBOL-IT offers your developers an agile and modern tool, easily integrated into mainframe environments without changes to existing infrastructure.
The COBOL-IT Enterprise Edition Compiler Suite
You can significantly increase the portability of your COBOL sources and the performance of your COBOL applications with COBOL-IT. Thanks to multithreading, COBOL legacy applications, too, profit from the high performance levels of modern servers. In addition, COBOL-IT’s compilers and run time support EXTFH and EXTSM. These functionalities allow developers to benefit from those SORT and MERGE operations familiar from other compilers. Add-ons for IBM and Micro Focus dialects ease the switch to COBOL-IT for your developers.
Licensed for numerous precompilers
Thanks to various pre-compilers and ESQL run times, COBOL-IT can be combined with all common free as well as proprietary data bases of all major providers. Native support for Faircom’s file system c-treeRTG is a special feature of COBOL-IT.
Native support for:
-
- Microsoft SQL Server
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Oracle DB
- IBM DB2 (via IBM preprocessor)
- Faircom c-treeRTG
COBOL-IT Subscription
The COBOL-IT solutions are distributed on a Subscription model. COBOL-IT thus relies on a fair and calculable licensing system, which ensures that companies can keep an eye on their costs and can expand their deployment strategy. This makes COBOL-IT suitable for both – customers, who want to reduce their mainframe costs and software houses who want to deploy their COBOL-centred applications on open systems as well.
COBOL-IT Developer Studio
COBOL-IT Compiler Suite is complemented by an Eclipse-based IDE. With COBOL-IT Developer Studio you have access to a Code editor with extensive functions tailored to suit COBOL developers. Developer Studio, available for Windows and Linux, comprises functions such as syntactic highlighting and auto-complete, a project manager, and remote debugging.
Combination of powerful technology and first-class support
