COBOL2000 and POSIX

Not supported in COBOL2000-BC !

The COBOL compiler can be invoked and passed control options in the POSIX environment (POSIX shell).

In addition, COBOL programs compiled in the POSIX environment or in BS2000 can be run in the POSIX environment.

Finally, if the POSIX subsystem is available, it is possible to access the POSIX file system even when running the compiler or a program in BS2000.

For further information on POSIX you can refer to the following publications:

• "POSIX Basics" manual [30]

• "POSIX Commands" manual [29]
