Dear friends
I have been searching for a COBOL for compiler for a couple of days but could not find one. There is hand full of compilers which works on Windows 95, 98, NT. I want a compiler which should be compatible with windows xp sp 2. It must have support for ODBC and most importantly it should be free. I would be very thankful if someone fined me one. Bye..

I googled a little bit, and I found that : http://www.freebyte.com/programming/cobol/...ecobolcompilers
This site gives links to a lot of free compilers, look :

OpenCOBOL OpenCOBOL is an open-source COBOL compiler. OpenCOBOL implements substantial part of the COBOL 85 and COBOL 2002 standards, as well as many extensions of the existent COBOL compilers. OpenCOBOL translates COBOL into C and compiles the translated code using GCC. You can build your COBOL programs on various platforms, including GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.
CobCy Free Cobol to C compiler. Cobcy is intended to compile ANSI COBOL sources. The current version does not yet support all the features in the ANSI Cobol specification.
Tiny Cobol Open source Cobol compiler for Windows, Linux, BeOS, FreeBSD.
Cobol for GCC COBOL for GCC is a project to create a COBOL 85 compliant compiler for GNU/Linux and other operating systems, using the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) code generation framework.

I didn't know COBOL was still around (says the kid who used to use Qbasic). What is it used for these days?

Most of payroll programs on "proprietary" computers (IBM computers, Bull computers, most of huge non-unix computers) are Cobol programs.
Probably your salary will be paid with the payroll printing program being still a cobol program.
Procution Cobol programs are usually some millions of lines of cobol programs, which could cost a lot to be migrated to non-cobol applications.
So, most of times, brand new applications are written in C on Linux Machines. And when old proprietary marchines start being too old, the cobol programs are simply compiled on a new Linux machine.
Hope this helped.

    Dear Friends A few days back I was looking for a COBOL compiler. Therefore I made a post here
    assuming that some might come to my rescue. A few help did come but wasn’t very satisfying.
    Eventually I found the compiler I was looking for. My compiler is Micro Focus COBOL COMPILER 2.4.12.
    It runs smoothly under Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows 2003 (I have personally tested it on these
    operating systems). When I turned to this forum for help regarding COBOL I was surprised to see
    that there was not even one topic written about COBOL. So I decided to write something abou....

    Hi guys, Need some serious scripting help. I'm trying to come up with a web-based compiler.
    here's how it's going to work. 1. The user is given a form with a large textarea to enter
    code (lets assume C++). 2. Upon submit the script takes the entire text from the textarea and writes
    it to a file. 3. Then it calls GCC the linux C compiler and passes this file as an arguement to it,
    as well as another arguement which is the name of the output file. 4. It then chmods the output file
    to make it executable. 5. Then it runs the output binary and pipes the console....
