“COBOL Under
.NET: An Easy Evolution”
Net Express 5.0 further extends the capabilities of the previous
version with a plethora of new features. This white paper looks at both, the creation
of WinForms and WebForm applications entirely in COBOL. The vehicle for both of
these is a simple file access example that returns product information, then computes
shipping and insurance charges for a selected inventory items. The foundation of
the example is two COBOL legacy subprograms; 1) to access an indexed file, and 2)
to determine shipping and insurance information. Needless to say, the subprograms
are highly contrived to minimize the code that is superfluous to the basic principles
presented.
