This is a simple and free editor, navigator, pretty printer and batch processor for COBOL and Windows batch files. It enables you to inspect and modify these programs on Windows desktops. Using the batch utility together with a free compiler (Opencobol, Fujitsu, ...) makes it a basic development tool.

From one of the dinosaurs who still writes COBOL -- the language which is on the brink of extinction, and always will be -- .
Despite what you may have heard, this old fossil of a language can survive, thrive, and even coexist with those hairy little mammals who have been acting so smug and uppity.

The COBOL Connection provides a suite of sample programs (or COBOL coding examples) that are written using the IBM VS COBOL II dialect with few exceptions.
For example, programs that access the system date may require the COBOL/390 dialect to be Y2K compliant. In many examples the programs are coded to the ANSII'85 standard with the exception of programs that use hexadecimal notation (i.e. value X'1F'). The Hexadecimal notation is a COBOL II syntax and is also part of the ANSI/2000 standard.
A few programs use Micro Focus syntax and are documented as such and will not run on the mainframe.

KOBOL is an obvious play on words for COBOL, which stands for COmmon Business Oriented Language. We therefore refer to KOBOL as KOmpany Business Oriented Language.
