Re: cobol on pc

Btw, if you are interested Holger Scherer offers free iSeries accounts:
http://www.holgerscherer.de/

I'm using it since cca 2009 for experimenting at home - all Compilers are available - COBOL too.
IMO it's best solution to get free enterprose class COBOL compiler.

Hi Dave,

If you are interested, I have a "sandbox" AS400 system that I could get
you an account setup on. I can't guarantee uptime... but it's generally
running on the weekends at least.

It's got a few of the COBOL compilers installed, and has worked well for
me so far.

That's great Mark, thanks. I'd spent a lot of time trying to get openCOBOL
to work. I'd seen most of the links already but in my haste I did not
notice that the Microfocus version was free. That might explain the demise
of most of the other solutions. You just click and install. I'm now up and
running COBOL applications on my laptop at home and discovering Visual
Studio as well.

Hi, Dave:

With a little more (google) searching, I found this:

http://www,
microfocus.com/product-trials/visual-cobol/personal-edition-trial/vcpe-trial.aspx

According to the web page, the "Personal Edition" is "free" ...

All the best,

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get openCOBOL running on windows?
Has anyone an easier solution for a COBOL compiler ?

Thanks
