1 B1WD-3306-01 ENZ0(00)March 2014 Windows(64) Fujitsu SoftwareNetCOBOL 's GuidePrefaceNetCOBOL allows you to create, execute, and debug COBOL programs with Windows. This manual describes, in detail, the functionsand operations of NetCOBOL and how to use NetCOBOL with other languages, databases and does not detail COBOL syntax. Refer to the NetCOBOL Language Reference for details on COBOL to "NetCOBOL Messages" for details on messages generated by the compile commands, the COBOL compiler, the COBOL runtimesystem and the COBOL Error Report. AudienceThis manual is for users who develop COBOL programs using NetCOBOL.

2 It assumes users possess a basic knowledge of COBOL andare familiar with the appropriate Windows manual provides an introduction to OO programming concepts so that those who have no prior OO programming experience canlearn OO COBOL. How this Manual is OrganizedThis manual consists of the following chapters and appendixes: ChapterContentsChapter 1 Overview of NetCOBOLD escription of the operating environment and functions 2 Creating and Editing a ProgramIntroduction to the options and tools for writing a COBOL 3 Compiling ProgramsHow to compile COBOL programs: required resources, supportingtools, command formats and 4 Linking ProgramsHow to link COBOL programs.
