Install MinGW Open Cobol. Installing a MinGW Open-Cobol Compiler. Download your Open-Cobol tarball here. Microsoft Windows XP. Hubbard Vector Calculus Djvu For Mac. Below, I take a look at three open source projects that help you code, compile, and use COBOL on a Mac, Linux, or Windows computer. So grab a book on. Installing on Windows is a little more complicated, but instructions are available for those interested in trying GnuCOBOL on Windows. Download & Install. Brew install gnu-cobol. Run the OpenCobolIDE app. If you installed the compiler in a non-standard path and it is not recognized.

I am a graduate student majoring in Computer Science. My department teaches the majority of its courses using Java (though I did take one course on system architecture that used C to demonstrate processor scheduling, memory management, etc.but I digress). I want to learn more about COBOL, but I don't have access to a mainframe system. Can anyone please recommend a free COBOL compiler for Windows that would enable me to get through some basic COBOL tutorials? Disclaimer: yes, I've Googled this already, so hoping for some experienced individuals to give some further info. Closed as off-topic by,,,, May 1 '14 at 19:46 This question appears to be off-topic.

OpenCOBOL is a cross compiler to C and has a fairly active development community. COBOL is not a difficult language to learn. Unless you are tying to work your way into a mainframe shop, spending a lot of time studying COBOL may not have much career payback. As belisarius pointed out, it is not the language as much as the environment that needs to be learned. By analogy, there isn't very much to learn about the C language either. However, just knowing C will not get you very far - you need to work with the huge standard library that comes with it. COBOL is similar in that respect.

The difference is that COBOL does not come with a huge standard library, it is part of a package that often includes: CICS, DB/2, MQ-Series and an array of other library services (LE Services in an IBM environment). COBOL can be found outside of a mainframe environment but the mainframe is its 'real home'. As a generalization, 'mainframe' implies an IBM mainframe running Z/OS (many may take exception to this statement). This publication: is a good place to get a feel for what an IBM mainframe environment is like. The things I find characterize COBOL are: • COBOL is a procedural language. Some vendors have added OO extensions and new COBOL language standards include OO extensions, but this is largely window dressing. COBOL is fundamentally a procedural language.
