Rational Developer for System z
COBOL for Windows, Version 7.5, Programming Guide


Compiling, linking, and running programs

The following sections explain how to set environment variables, compile, link, use NMAKE to update projects, run, correct errors, and redistribute DLLs.

The COBOL for Windows compiler and runtime environment support the high subset of Standard COBOL 85 functions, as do other IBM COBOL products. Although the IBM COBOL language is almost the same across platforms, some minor differences exist between Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and COBOL for Windows.
