Extension Methods and Operators
Extension methods enable you to add methods to existing types thereby providing additional functionality without the need to edit or recompile the code.
Invoking a Method
You can invoke a method in two ways: by using the invoke statement or by using the inline invocation syntax.
String Handling in Managed COBOL
Managed COBOL provides a predefined managed string type and provides powerful techniques for handling strings.
Types and Type Conversion
Types can be converted into other types using the AS syntax or a conversion operator.
Type Compatibility of Managed COBOL with Other Managed Languages
Many managed COBOL types have a strict correspondence with managed types in other languages, such as binary-long and float-short. For those that don't have a correspondence, there are alternatives.
