What is COB file?
COB files are formatted COBOL source code files. The COBOO is a compiler that converts the COBOL or PL/I program into executable machine language and creates a binary file that can be run on a Cobol System. nIn the ASCII text representation of the COBOL Source Code File, the first line of text is known as the header. Additionally, the following lines of text will include start-up statements, conditions, loops, and other programming constructs. nThe end of the file contains any additional statements that need to be executed upon reaching this point in the program execution flow.
