Cobos Core contains the basic features needed for COBOL development within a modern and extensible environment platform.
- IDE Cobol
The COBOL file editor of Cobos brings the best of Eclipse to COBOL programers: a quick and simple browsing into files with the Outline, Syntax coloring, Autocompletion, Open declaration, Compilation error notifications, Code templates, Changes tracking, Versioning…All these features have been tailor-made for the COBOL development.
Cobos adds to these very convenient features some outstanding features such as a « Word like » revision mode, unfolding COBOL sources with COPY REPLACING expansion, customizable tabulations, mainframe-like CAPS ON.
- OpenCOBOL Compiler
OpenCOBOL, the open source COBOL compiler, is extended to support Z/OS dialect and CICS, DB2, DL1 instructions. Its use allows developers to check the syntax of source code locally on their workstation without consumption of mainframe resources.
(COBOL-IT compiler can be used as an option.)
- JCL Editor
Editor with JCL syntactic coloration and, along with the mainframe Host Integration Module, submission of the currently edited JCL.
- REXX Editor
A simple REXX editor with syntactic coloration and variables in outline.
- SCM Support
Cobos integrates natively eclipse-compatible SCM tools like CVS, Subversion, GIT, Dimension,…
- Certified Version
Each new version of Cobos is fully tested and includes third-party components changes in stabilized versions.
- Web Ticket Interface
Entering incidents, issues and change requests through a Web interface in the form of tickets.
Additional Components
Additional components extend the use of Cobos to specific contexts & platforms. These components are optional, but need Cobos-Core, in order to be run.
Mainframe Target Support provides outstanding functionalities for mainframe activities carried in Eclipse environment.
- z/Navigator
The z/Navigator in Cobos lets you browse, edit, create and move data sets directly on the mainframe.
- Extended CVS Support
Support of a CVS server installed on UNIX part of a mainframe (USS: UNIX System Services) supporting EBCDIC-ASCII transaction. Ergonomic enhancement of CVS use for mainframe users.
- je3270
The je3270 plug-in that enables access to the mainframe through 3270 emulation (based on the x3270 emulator).
- Host Commands
This plug-in allows you to launch REXX or SHELL scripts from Eclipse documenting parameters in a form. It is thus possible to use the working procedures of your site without leaving Eclipse.
- FTP access
A lightweight way of working on mainframe sources without any software requirement on mainframe.
- Host Integration Module
For a targeted host, a set of scripts (SHELL or REXX) implementing access and manipulation of host resources, such as PDS, members, your mainframe SCM like LCM, Endevor… and of course, to compile a source on the mainframe and retrieve the error messages as if it had been compiled in Eclipse.
UNIX Target Support provides remote access to Unix/Linux system with a set of Cobos functionnalities integrated.
- Remote Compilation
The capability to control binaries generation in UNIX environments from eclipse.
- FTP Access
The capability to access UNIX resources directly from eclipse (outside SCM like CVS, SVN,…).
Windows Target support enables local execution of COBOL programs.
- Local Program Build
The capability to generate locally Windows executable binaries.
- Full integrated Eclipse distribution
Cobos is specially designed, tested & delivered with a version of Eclipse, that comes with a pre-configured workspace and all necessary resources in order to build applications on Windows.
