CobolScript

[edit]

CobolScript is a scalable, cross-platform interpreted scripting language and development environment based on the COBOL programming language. CobolScript has a syntax familiar to COBOL programmers and is used for data conversion, and batch interfaces to create server-side scripting. There are versions of CobolScript for Microsoft Windows, Linux, SunOS and FreeBSD.

Deskware founders Matt Dean and Charles Shereda began developing an alternative internet development solution in 1996, as they realised that unless an alternative was devised, programmers would have to adopt programming languages with technical rather than functional roots.

Hello world

[edit]

The program produces the following HTML code of a simple web page and can be run on a web server (the stdout is redirected to browser the web).

      * Program "Hello world"
      *
       DISPLAY `Content -type: text / html` .
       DISPLAY LINEFEED.
       ` DISPLAY ` <HTML> <BODY>.
       DISPLAY <CENTER> ` Hello World </CENTER> ` .
       DISPLAY `</BODY> </HTML>`.
