Analyzing COBOL code

The COBOL translation runs on Windows systems only and supports modern COBOL dialects. Alternatively, you can use the legacy COBOL translation (see Using the Legacy COBOL Translation).

For a list of supported technologies for translating COBOL code, see Supported languages. OpenText SAST does not currently support custom rules for COBOL applications.

To scan COBOL with OpenText SAST, you must have an OpenText SAST license file that specifically includes COBOL scanning capabilities. Contact Customer Support for more information about how to obtain the required license file.
