Best Answer

It depends on the target platform. If you want to use MF COBOL on the mainframe then the answer is none, MF supports the mainframe as a target by using MF EEE. You write and unit test the code on the PC and then send the source off to the mainframe for compilation and final testing.

Micro Focus COBOL operates on Windows, Unix and Linux systems. Via the Mainframe Express product, it enables development and testing of IBM mainframe COBOL on a workstation, but actual mainframe QA, test and production compilation requires the IBM mainframe COBOL compiler. It will generate MSIL so that Micro Focus COBOL programs will operate as managed code under .NET.

Micro Focus is an ANSI 85 compliant COBOL compiler with extensions for the 2002 standard revisions. It is highly (but not perfectly) compatible with IBM mainframe COBOL, and has options for varying degrees of compatibility with other current and obsolete COBOL dialects.

Micro Focus is the dominant player in this market and can enforce what is essentially monopoly pricing on its users, a relatively recent business strategy development. Competition to Micro Focus is provided by AcuCOBOL (now owned by Micro Focus), Fujitsu COBOL, Liant RM/COBOL (now owned by Micro Focus), Veryant isCOBOL, LegacyJ, and COBOL-IT. All are proprietary products except COBOL-IT which is open source with professional support available.

There are also many open source COBOL products, including OpenCOBOL, TinyCOBOL, KOBOL, and many others with varying degrees of community based support. None are professionally supported at this time.

What is Modulation index in Frequency modulation?

Modulation Index is the ratio of the maximum deviation frequency to the frequency of modulation. In other words it is the ratio of the spread in frequency spectrum to the frequency that was used to modulate the carrier. For FM, modulation index is given by the formula mf= df/f where, mf=modulation index for FM df=difference in carrier frequency f=frequency of the signal

How to calculate the flange leakage test in API flanges?

Flange leakage check can be performed by equivalent pressure method Peq.This is the addition of equivalent pressure and the maximum operating pressure. The result must be less than maximum allowable pressure on the flange.Hence: Peq = 509296 x Mf + 127 x FAG3 G2Where,Mf = Resultant Bending moment in daN in Operating conditionsFA = Axial force in daN in Operating conditionsG = Gasket diameters in mm


What are values of capacitors?

Capacitors come in many different shapes, sizes & technologies. However, they all use the same unit of value; the farad. Capacitors will be measured in picofarad (pF), nanofarad (nF), microfarad (uF), farad (F), and megafarad (MF). Do note, however, that MF has not been used since the days of mechanical transistors and other less developed electronic components. Capacitors will also have a voltage rating; this is called the Breakdown Voltage, and it is at this voltage that the dielectric will completely breakdown, usually with catastrophic consequences.


How do you test a capacitor when you remove it out of circuit?

Simply test it with a multi meter. Set to DC and see if it is holding voltage. Then,...Set the meter on Ohms to check the continuity between the leads. If it shows little or no resistance, or doesnt beep, normally youre ok. If it beeps or shows resistance, its fried. Afterwards, since the voltage should have been drained by the meter on Ohms setting, see if it builds back up.

If you are working in a software company and are in cobol with unix and oracle project what would your career growth be if you got trained in mf cobol?

The most important thing here is to know that unix and cobol is a good platform to work in that to with Oracle as the database. The mf cobol is almost a standard cobol that is followed these days, and many banks want to migrate to this version of cobol(as it is perfectly suited to Unix systems) the another version which is quite popular is IBM cobol this one is more popular with the mainframes community since Ibm is the leader here and it was good move to have there own cobol. so if you are assotiated with unix and not with mainframes then mf cobol is suited with u and most of the middle east and European banks are on unix . but if u want to switch to mainframes then go for IBM cobol. A bit of C language knowledge would certainly be a positive point in your resume.
