This publication describes how to compile an
ArnericanNational Standard COBOL X3.23-1968
program using Version 2 of the OS Full American
National Standard COBOL compiler. It also
discusses how to link-edit or load and execute the
program under control of the operating System.
There is a description of the output of each of
these steps, i.e., compile, link-edit, load, and
execute. In addition, there is an explanation of
the features of the compiler and available options
of the operating system. Note that American
National Standard COBOL was formerly known as USA
