This repository contains examples on how to call GnuCOBOL compiled programs from Java with JNA.

JNA provides access to native shared libraries from inside Java code using natural Java method invocation. Read more: https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/blob/master/README.md

GnuCOBOL is a free COBOL compiler, it translates COBOL source code to an executable program or shared libary using intermediate C, designated C compiler and linker. Read more: https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-cobol/
