The following enhancements have been made to the managed COBOL syntax:
- The
TYPE OF type-name[ANY...] syntax enables you to obtain the
System.Type (.NET) or
java.lang.Class (JVM) object for a generic class, interface, or delegate.
- The
self:: or
super:: syntax is no longer required to access inherited data within a subclass.
- The
ATTRIBUTE-ID syntax enables you to define new attribute types, which can be used in various contexts.
