RM/COBOL Runtime System 8.1

RM/COBOL Runtime System by Liant Software Corporation is a production-grade execution environment for applications compiled with RM/COBOL. It provides a stable, portable platform for running COBOL business programs across supported operating systems, helping organizations preserve and extend the value of long‑lived, mission‑critical software.

Designed for dependable day‑to‑day operation, the runtime system implements the core services COBOL applications rely on, including file handling, user and printer I/O, and runtime configuration. It emphasizes backward compatibility so existing RM/COBOL applications can be deployed without code changes.

Key capabilities:

• Cross‑platform portability for deploying the same compiled application on supported Windows and UNIX/Linux systems.
• Comprehensive COBOL file I/O, including sequential, relative, and indexed files with multi‑user record locking.
• Support for COBOL SORT/MERGE operations within the runtime environment.
• Configurable runtime behavior (such as file buffering, device mapping, and collating sequences) via configuration files and environment settings.
• Robust diagnostics and error reporting to aid operations and support teams.
• Small footprint and low overhead suitable for batch jobs, terminal‑based programs, and interactive business applications.

RM/COBOL Runtime System streamlines deployment by separating compilation from execution and providing a consistent behavior model across platforms, reducing the need for recompilation and minimizing operational risk for established COBOL applications.

RM/COBOL Runtime System is developed by Liant Software Corporation. The most popular version of this product among our users is 8.1. The names of program executable files are ini2reg.exe, runcobol.exe.
