Abstract |
The COBOL 85 Compiler Validation System is used to validate COBOL compilers to ensure their conformance to the Federal Standard as prescribed in FIPS-21-2. The validation system consists of approximately 300 COBOL programs, each of which contain several independent tests. In addition, there is a routine which enables users of the test suite to separate programs, by module, level or program name, and automatically replace implementor defined features. The test programs are organized by module as defined in ANSI 1985 COBOL. The tests are further organized according to one of two levels defined in the COBOL 1985 Standard. The 1985 COBOL Compiler Validation System is issued on magnetic tape, and accompanied by a comprehensive user guide which gives a brief description of each test program and supplies information on running the tests and interpreting results. |
