Running COBOL programs under ISPF

This topic applies to COBOL users only.

When you code your application using ISPF panels, you can gain interactive access to your COBOL application.

Note:
  1. If you attempt to pass runtime options to a COBOL program that is invoked from ISPF, the runtime options will be treated as program arguments.
  2. Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, COBOL for OS/390 & VM, COBOL for MVS & VM and COBOL/370 programs are allowed to run concurrently in both screens of the ISPF split screen mode.
    CAUTION:
    Prior versions of COBOL may not run concurrently in both screens of the ISPF split screen mode.
