				| 
 |  
				| Hi Guys, 
 I don't know if this is a stupid question but i will ask it anyway...
 
 Is there a COBOL compiler that can be used locally on my PC with or without using any internet connection?
 
 Thanks!

				| hi kolusu, 
 do different compilers have different processes in accepting cobol syntax?
 
 Will a certain compiler accept a syntax and be rejected by the other?
 
 thanks!

 treks02,
 
 Yes.  Everytime a new version of complier is released the new features are not supported with the older versions. Check this link for history of cobol compilers.

 Hope this helps...
 
 Cheers
