Tandem COBOL (TDS)

The optional native COBOL cross compiler for use with the TDS is called Tandem

NMCOBOL. TDS allows you to select Tandem NMCOBOL options from the TDS add-

on to the Borland integrated development environment (IDE) GUI. You can develop,

edit, and build COBOL applications from within the IDE.

You can embed SQL/MP or SQL/MX statements in Tandem NMCOBOL source code.

Valid Tandem NMCOBOL source files, with or without embedded SQL/MP or SQL/MX

statements, have the extension *.cob or *.cbl. Your PC must be connected to the

NonStop host to perform certain SQL/MP or SQL/MX compile-time operations and to

run your applications.

For PC and NonStop server hardware and software requirements, see the TDS online

help. For instructions for accessing the online help, see Documentation.
