Hi.
I am planning to practice cobol on Winows 7. I've installed MS COBOL on my PC but it shows a compatability error stating that I need 64-bit cobol compiler to practice as my computer is 64-bit. Please advise on that how I can practice cobol at home.
Regards,

Cobol compiler for Windows 7.
Re: Cobol compiler for Windows 7.
You could a couple of things:
1 - get a 64 bit compiler
2 - get a virtual machine running on you Win7 running a 32-bit OS and run your compiler on that
Check arounf the PC forums and not the mainframe forums.

Re: Cobol compiler for Windows 7.
Find the Gnu COBOL project at SourceForge and use a free, up-to-date, and runs on however many bits you have, compiler, with support provided through the discussion groups on the site. There is even a configuration to make it more like Mainframe COBOL.

Thanks William. GNU COBOL sounds like a good option. Thanks for the pointer.
