Contributions

Since January 2022, we have been regularly contributing to the GnuCOBOL compiler and its ecosystem, for our customers. Our main contributions are:

  • Addition of GCOS Dialect Support
  • Support of character-sets in GCSort
  • Initial support for displaying the context of errors
  • and many bug fixes.

Long Term Support

To help companies move their legacy COBOL applications from expensive mainstream vendors to GnuCOBOL, we provide Long Term Support on the GnuCOBOL compiler and its ecosystem. We can respond to customers queries with guarranted delays for fixing bugs or providing workarounds. We can implement new features, such as extending support for specific COBOL dialects.

We always try to work with the project maintainers to upstream our changes, so that all the community can benefit from them.
