MICRO-COBOL A Subset of Navy Standard HYPO-COBOL for Micro-Computers.
Philip Russell Mylet · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1978
A MICRO-COBOL interpretive compiler has been implemented on an 8080 micro-computer based system running under CP/M. The implementation is a subset of ADPESO standard HYPO-COBOL in that the interprogram communication module has not been included. HYPO-COBOL provides nucleus level constructs and file options from the ANSII COBOL package along with the PERFORM UNTIL construct from a higher level to give increased structural control. MICRO-COBOL can be executed on an 8080 or Z-80 micro-computer system with 16K of memory. Although largely completed and tested, all features are not implemented. File I/O features have not been tested and the numeric edit instruction has not been implemented in the interpreter. (Author)
