== 1. Purpose and Scope ==

This document defines the baseline coding standard for COBOL programs targeting GnuCOBOL 4.x on Linux, with optional GixSQL pre-processing for embedded PostgreSQL access. It applies to all newly written programs, to programs undergoing significant modification, and to reverse-engineering or migration work.

The standard covers four concerns:

* Source-code layout and formatting
* Naming conventions for data items, paragraphs, copybooks, and files
* Structural and architectural patterns (divisions, tiers, method-dispatch)
* Error handling, embedded SQL, and output formatting rules
