Your Windows-based workstation has a different hardware and operating-system architecture than IBM mainframes or AIX workstations. Because of these differences, some problems can arise as you move COBOL programs between these environments.
The related information describes some of the differences between development platforms, and provides instructions to help you minimize portability problems.
