XCOB is an Edit Macro written in rexx that allows abbreviations to be used in COBOL source
code. Most of the reserved words have abbreviations as well as some frequently used phrases.
Simply enter 'XCOB' in the command line during an edit session and all of the predefined
abbreviations will be converted to their proper form for comilation.
Generation data groups are supported, but when requesting a + generation, the zero gen
will be substituted. COBOL and Assembler source programs can utilize GET to present
a COPYBOOK by placing the cursor on the copybook name. Invoking GET with the parameter
'E' will present the requested data in EDIT mode. GET and GET E are best utilized by
setting a PF key for invokation.
