What is a .CBL file?
CBL files are source code files written in COBOL, a programming language designed for processing large amounts of business data. COBOL has been used for decades to develop applications that handle tasks such as banking transactions, payroll, accounting, insurance processing, and other large-scale business operations. A CBL file can contain the main program code or serve as one of several source files in a larger COBOL project.
You may encounter a CBL file when maintaining an older business application, examining the source code of a mainframe program, working with a COBOL development project, or accessing archived software from an organization that still relies on COBOL. CBL files may be stored alongside other source code, configuration files, and project resources. File Viewer Plus allows you to view and modify COBOL source code.
