In computer programming, CobolScript is a COBOL-based scripting language. CobolScript has syntax familiar to COBOL programmers and is used for data conversion, batch interfaces, and server-side scripting. It has versions for Microsoft Windows, Linux, SunOS and FreeBSD.
Matt Dean is one of CobolScript's creators.
Hello, world
The following program produces the HTML of a very simple web page, and can be run on a web server (standard output is redirected to the web browser).
* "Hello world" program * DISPLAY `Content-type: text/html`. DISPLAY LINEFEED. DISPLAY `<HTML><BODY>`. DISPLAY `<CENTER>Hello World</CENTER>`. DISPLAY `</BODY></HTML>`.By default, CobolScript uses the grave accent to delimit strings (although this can be changed using command-line options).[1]
