Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.1, Programming Guide


How this document will help you

This document will help you write and compile Enterprise COBOL programs. It will also help you define object-oriented classes and methods, invoke methods, and refer to objects in your programs.

This document assumes experience in developing application programs and some knowledge of COBOL. It focuses on using Enterprise COBOL to meet your programming objectives and not on the definition of the COBOL language. For complete information on COBOL syntax, see IBM Enterprise COBOL Language Reference.

For information on migrating programs to Enterprise COBOL, see IBM Enterprise COBOL Compiler and Runtime Migration Guide.

Language Environment® provides the runtime environment and runtime services that are required to run your Enterprise COBOL programs. You will find information on link-editing and running programs in the IBM z/OS Language Environment Programming Guide and IBM z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference.

For a comparison of commonly used Enterprise COBOL and IBM z/OS Language Environment terms, see Comparison of commonly used terms.
