Objective COBOL by Borland International is a development environment that brings object-oriented concepts to the COBOL world while preserving compatibility with established procedural code. Designed for teams modernizing enterprise applications, it introduces classes, encapsulation, and inheritance alongside traditional COBOL constructs, enabling modular architectures without disrupting existing systems. The toolset emphasizes developer productivity with an integrated editor, build management, and debugging support suited to large, business-critical codebases. Objective COBOL promotes incremental modernization by allowing object-oriented and procedural modules to coexist, making it practical to refactor legacy logic at a manageable pace. It also supports integration with common enterprise data sources and external components, helping organizations extend and reuse business functionality. The result is a more maintainable, testable, and adaptable COBOL codebase that aligns with contemporary software design practices while leveraging prior investments.
