Getting IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS applications to run: overview

After you download an Enterprise COBOL program and successfully compile it using COBOL for Linux® on x86, the next step is to run the program. In many cases, you can get the same results as on IBM® z/OS® without greatly modifying the source.

About this task

To assess whether to modify the source, you need to know how to fix the elements and behavior of the COBOL language that vary due to the underlying hardware or software architecture.
