COBOL 2002 also introduced free-format code. Free-format code can be placed in any column of the file, as in newer programming languages. Comments are specified using *>, which can be placed anywhere and can also be used in fixed-format source code. Continuation lines are not present, and the >>PAGE directive replaces the / indicator.

It is implemented from many languages by making calls to a software stub, DFSLI000. This stub has entry points to handle a variety of programming languages, e.g., calling CBLTDLI from a COBOL program. This stub is linked to the calling program, passes on the request to the IMS system, and returns the results and a status code.
Use of IBM COBOL was so widespread that Capex Corporation, an independent software vendor, made a post-code generation phase object code optimizer for it. [3] The Capex Optimizer became a quite successful product. [4] Although the IBM COBOL Compiler Family web site [5] only mentions AIX, Linux, and z/OS, IBM still offers COBOL on z/VM and z/VSE.
COBOL and PL/I also have a system-independent method of specifying printer controls. The compiler or run-time will translate these options into the appropriate control character. The compiler or run-time will translate these options into the appropriate control character.

The hyphen is used by nearly all programmers writing COBOL (1959), Forth (1970), and Lisp (1958); it is also common in Unix for commands and packages, and is used in CSS. [5] This convention has no standard name, though it may be referred to as lisp-case or COBOL-CASE (compare Pascal case ), kebab-case , brochette-case , or other variants.
Unless otherwise stated, the status code is part of the HTTP standard. [1] The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains the official registry of HTTP status codes. [2] All HTTP response status codes are separated into five classes or categories. The first digit of the status code defines the class of response, while the last two ...
It is used in character data on IBM mainframes by languages such as COBOL, PL/I, and RPG. [1] Its purpose is to save a character that would otherwise be used by the sign digit. [2] The code is derived from the Hollerith Punched Card Code, where both a digit and a sign can be entered in the same card column. It is called an overpunch because the ...
