COBOL plugin/support
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2020 9:46 pm
Hello,
I used CodeLite for my non-Qt C++ based coding on Linux. Been needing to do some COBOL, in particular GnuCOBOL and was looking to see if anyone had created syntax highlighting plugin for COBOL. I think the other aspects, like defining "cobc" and some switches as the "build" command should be pretty simple. Currently GnuCOBOL uses GDB to debug the transpilered C so that should be as good as it gets for now. At least until version 3.x comes out.
I couldn't find any mention of COBOL with my search, but I did see some mention of CTAGs on the Wiki and I'm guessing there is a tag file for COBOL out there somewhere.
