HP COBOL for OpenVMS

HP COBOL (formerly known as Compaq or DIGITAL (DEC and VAX) COBOL) is a high-level language for business data processing that operates on the OpenVMS (VAX, Alpha, and Integrity servers) and Tru64 UNIX (Alpha) platforms. It is a high-performance, optimizing compiler environment that is based upon the 1985 ANSI COBOL Standard X3.23-1985 as modified by the X.23a-1989 amendment.

COBOL is designed to maximize source-code level compatibility between supported platforms. The HP extensions to COBOL include screen handling (ACCEPT/DISPLAY) at the source language level, file sharing, record locking, and more. Support for ORACLE CDD/Repository and some X/Open features are also provided.
