Hi

I would like to know the differences between usual Cobol and Tandem Cobol.
Thanks for any help

Robert

It comes with a second rider to help out over the steep bits.

I always wanted one of those two handled mugs that Tandem computer
salesmen used to give out to prospective customers.

Robert,

For documentation you can try to look at http://h30163.www3.hp.com/ntl/
Regarding the differences, it depends on what you mean by "usual".
Some of them:

does not support OS-VS perform type

does not have a real "dynamic" CALLs (you have to link all modules together, even you can have some of them as a separate DLLs), i.e. you can't "add" program to existing system without relinking.

does not allow to assign filename dynamically (even thru external assignmant like DD on mainframe)

accepts only quotes (does not have "apost" option)

syntax checking is more strict than "ususally" (i.e. ZEROS vs ZERO, etc...)
