The DOD COBOL Compiler Validation System,

Abstract

This technical report goes into the history of COBOL compiler validations. It describes several early efforts by various committees and of different agencies within the Federal Government. The main thrust of the report is the COBOL Compiler Validation System which was produced by the Department of the Navy after participating in, and reviewing the, results of the less than successful efforts that preceded the work of the Navy. It discusses the implementation problem surrounding the CCVS (which would be applicable to any COBOL system) and the automated source program libraries (VP-routine) developed to speed up the implementation by resolving implementor-names, providing a technique for updating the source program, and generating the necessary Job Control Language necessary to compile and execute each of the audit routines making up the CCVS.
