Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

Can any one please explain what is the difference between Mainframe cobol and Microfocus cobol.

Thanks for your help.

Since there are international standards for the COBOL language, the main differences will be the platform being used, the options available and how they are specified. I have taken mainframe COBOL programs, made a few minor tweaks (screen handling on a PC versus file I/O on a mainframe) and run them very successfully.
