#'''
#Simple Python script for the gixsql gnucobol compilation workflow.
#The script accepts program names in the style:
#    "program_name"."cbl" or "program_name"."cob"
#The program_name has not dots in it.
#
#The programs gixsql and cobc can also be executed manually, if specific parameters are required.
