Enterprise COBOL Compiler
Fujitsu Software NetCOBOL
New Compatibility with .NET Core and Windows Server 2022!
What is Fujitsu NetCOBOL?
Fujitsu NetCOBOL® is an enterprise COBOL compiler and runtime environment that enables organizations to develop, modernize, and run COBOL applications without incurring runtime fees. It supports integration with modern technologies, including Microsoft .NET, allowing COBOL programs to work alongside languages such as C#, C++, and VB.
NetCOBOL provides a structured, ANSI-standard COBOL development environment designed for high performance, reliability, and ease of use. It integrates with widely used development tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse, enabling developers to build, test, and maintain applications within familiar IDEs.
By supporting both legacy and modern development environments, NetCOBOL helps organizations extend the value of existing COBOL applications while improving development efficiency and enabling modernization initiatives.
Available Versions
- NetCOBOL for .NET Enterprise Edition V9
- NetCOBOL Enterprise Edition (64bit) V12a for Windows
- NetCOBOL Enterprise Edition (32bit) V11a for Windows
- NetCOBOL Enterprise Edition (64bit) V13 for Linux
What are the Benefits of NetCOBOL?
NetCOBOL gives you all the power of other compilers without expensive runtime fees.
System Efficiency and Stability
Expand and modernize key systems by integrating with technologies such as .NET, Java, and XML. A single solution enables stable operation and future scalability while allowing organizations to fully leverage existing COBOL assets and skills.
Flexible Platform Compatibility
NetCOBOL Studio, a COBOL development environment based on Eclipse, has been built into NetCOBOL for both Windows and Linux. Additionally, NetCOBOL for .NET utilizes the industry-leading Visual Studio development environment.
Efficient Application Development
COBOL IDE improves efficiency across design, programming, testing, debugging, and maintenance, while supporting development that integrates modern technologies from batch processing to web applications.
Eliminate COBOL runtime fees for good
Whether you’re maintaining existing applications or extending them to work with newer technologies, NetCOBOL offers a robust and high-performance environment with flexibility.
“The beautiful part of the solution was the ability to take our current COBOL code, some of which is over 20 years old, and remove the screen and data interfaces and port that to Windows using NetCOBOL without changing any of the business logic. By moving to this new platform, utilizing XML and Web Services we were able to interface with other platforms much much easier and cheaper than before.”

Frequently Asked Questions
When should an organization consider using NetCOBOL instead of another COBOL compiler?
Organizations should consider NetCOBOL when they want to reduce or eliminate runtime fees, modernize COBOL applications, and integrate with modern development environments like .NET. It is especially valuable for teams looking to extend legacy systems without increasing licensing costs or complexity.
Can NetCOBOL be used for both legacy maintenance and new application development?
Yes, NetCOBOL supports both maintaining existing COBOL applications and building new applications. Its integration with modern technologies allows organizations to extend legacy systems while also developing new web and enterprise applications.
How does NetCOBOL help bridge legacy and modern development teams?
NetCOBOL enables collaboration between traditional COBOL developers and modern application developers by supporting integration with languages like C#, C++, and VB. This allows teams with different skill sets to work together on shared applications and modernization initiatives.
What types of applications can be built with NetCOBOL?
NetCOBOL can be used to build a wide range of applications, including batch processing systems, web applications, graphical user interfaces, and cloud-based solutions. This flexibility allows organizations to expand the role of COBOL in modern architectures.
How does NetCOBOL support long-term modernization strategies?
NetCOBOL supports long-term modernization by allowing organizations to reuse existing COBOL assets while gradually integrating modern technologies and platforms. This approach reduces risk, preserves institutional knowledge, and enables scalable system evolution over time.
