Moving Native COBOL Applications to Managed COBOL Managed code provides features that enable you to extend and modernize your existing procedural COBOL applications without
having to rewrite them.
Native COBOL compared with managed COBOL Native COBOL and managed COBOL differ in how they compile and how the run-time management services, such as security, threading
and memory management are provided.
Multiple user COBOL applications in .NET In a multiple user environment, COBOL applications must use multiple run units, with each instance of the application running
in its own run unit.
Interoperability Managed COBOL can invoke and be invoked by code in any other managed language. Managed COBOL can also invoke native COBOL.
In addition, managed code in languages other than COBOL and native COBOL can interoperate by going through managed COBOL code.
