Hi,
I am very very new to COBOL and would like to know a few basic things tht would enable me to kick start coding in COBOL.

I am having a IDE for COBOL - CobEdit ( downloaded from

http://www.CobTools.com)

I would appreciate if any one can tell me how to proceed with compiling and executing the program that I have written. I need a very start level guide of how to complile and execute simple programs using this IDE or any other COBOL compiler.

Help appreciated
Aakash

Without knowing the compiler you have it's impossible to say, but here are some examples.

RM/COBOL
compiler command - rmcobol myprogram
running the program - runcobol myprogram

Acucobol
compiler command - ccbl -o myprogram myprogram.cbl
running the program - runcbl myprogram


Microfocus

compiler command
cobol myprogram.cbl
cbllink myprogram.obj

running the program - myprogram
