TinyCOBOL

Application development is a specialized area of activity, where solid knowledge and a set of appropriate tools are required in order to carry out successfully all programming related tasks.

While the more modern programming languages have at their disposal lots of utilities that developers can use in their projects, the older ones are almost fallen into forgetfulness and the apps that could help users in coding into COBOL, for example, are rather scarce.

Nonetheless, for anyone on the lookout for a compiler that is especially designed for that programming language TinyCOBOL could be just the solution they are after. Even if this software solution doesn't have a proper graphical interface, it can be deployed and operated from a Command prompt window.

Since it was created to compile code, TinyCOBOL is equipped with a set of specific commands and options that include static or dynamic library binding, Dynamic Link Library (DLL) generation, building executable programs and many more.

Insofar as the options that are strictly concerning COBOL code are concerned, this application can be used to make all the programming language specific calls dynamic, generate entry points and trace code, to mention only a few abilities.

The TinyCOBOL package can be easily installed and it carries the necessary dependencies that are required to compile code and follow the specifications of the COBOL 85 standard.
