Fujitsu Software: NetCOBOL Provides Solution to Deploy COBOL Applications to Web-based Systems.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 1997--For companies developing Intra/Internet applications, Fujitsu Software Corporation today introduced NetCOBOL(TM) -- a revolutionary COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language. High-level computer programming language, one of the first widely used languages and for many years the most popular language in the business community. compiler that generates 100% Pure Java Bytecode-based applications/applets from existing legacy COBOL programs. NetCOBOL programs execute on any machine which supports the Java(TM) Virtual Machine, including Network Computers. NetCOBOL is the first and only true platform independent COBOL compiler. Enterprise companies worldwide have standardized on COBOL as the cornerstone of their mission-critical computing solutions. As customers adopt corporate Intranets in ever-increasing numbers, they are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. ways to deploy their existing legacy COBOL applications to Java-enabled browsers and network computers. NetCOBOL provides all the necessary tools to easily develop Java client applets and Java server applications using the COBOL language. NetCOBOL is the best-of-breed tool to allow deployment of existing COBOL applications to virtually all platforms; giving new life and portability to existing applications. "NetCOBOL opens new deployment options for legacy COBOL applications. Programmers can now easily and cost effectively retarget legacy COBOL applications to network centric business systems and lower the cost of Internet application development and maintenance," said Todd Yancey, General Manager of Fujitsu Software Corporation Developer Tools Group. "NetCOBOL leverages our existing investment in COBOL by enabling full support for the Internet and provides for deploying COBOL applications across a virtually unlimited number of platforms," said Jay Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Logics, Inc. NetCOBOL KEY FEATURES -- Generates 100% Pure Java Bytecode -- COBOL programs can run as either a Java applet or Java application (COBOL applets subject to Java applet security) -- Standards Compliant (Full ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. Standard COBOL X3.23B 1989) -- Platform independent Event Driven GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. programming extensions -- Embedded SQL Preprocessor Software that performs some preliminary processing on the input before it is processed by the main program. See preprocessing. (programming) preprocessor - A program that transforms input data in some way before it is read by the main program. with JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database support, facilitating the creation of COBOL applications/applets that can access data on DB2, Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server and other database servers. -- Java based & network accessible COBOL file systems (Sequential, Relative, and Index) -- EXEC HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. - allows dynamic COBOL driven web pages -- EXEC JAVA - allows mixture of COBOL and Java source code in the same program -- TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. socket programming extensions PRICING AND AVAILABILITY Currently shipping, NetCOBOL is an add-on component to Fujitsu COBOL Professional and is priced at $750 and runs on Windows 95 and/or Windows NT 4.0 and above.
