1. Purpose and Scope[edit]

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

{{Ambox name = COBOL Std 1 Purpose and Scope{{subst:void|Don't change anything on this line.

Any modification touching more than 20 % of a program's statements must bring the changed portions into conformance. }}
