Thank you for the quick responses. I will search the web but does anyone
have a personal recommendation for a COBOL compiler on Linux?

Thanks
Zoltan

You cannot move binaries from DOS to Linux especially on different
hardware platforms. You need to rebuild from source.

        Hi. We are new to Linux and trying to move workload from a DOS
pc to a Linux lpar on a MP3000. I created a /home directory and a user,
copied (via binary ftp) a .exe to this linux directory. I could not
execute it so I did a chmod 111 on the file. On a tera term session I
type /home/richl/RLBL253.EXE and press enter and receive message
bash: /home/richl/RLBL253.EXE: cannot execute binary file
