A free COBOL Compiler with all the features and cross-platform ready. Community help is also exceptional. Thank you all.
GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL) is a great project, highly recommended.
A very interesting and useful Project. I used this Compiler with a lot of fun.
After writing in Cobol since my TI 990 days and then HP UX Cobol, RM and Micro focus I was excited to use to GNUCobol. After 2 days of dealing with all of the OpenCobolIDE meaningless compiler error messages and the lack of GNUCobol maintaining any ANSI Cobol standards I finally gave up. The Cobol language, in my opinion, is still one of the finest for business applications but this GNUCobol application is absolutely horrible. Looks like a bunch of amateur C++ programmers tried to write a Cobol cross compiler without understanding how Cobol should be written.

Looks like you have not specified `-std=cobol85` (or `-std=cobol2014`) and still expected to have a COBOL compiler restricted to this (while others expect a compiler that supports MicroFocus or Fujitsu or ..). As GnuCOBOL passes nearly all tests of the COBOL 85 NIST tests I'd argue that 'a bunch of amateurs [..] without understanding how Cobol should be written' sounds quite wrong. You may want to use the discussion boards or mailing lists (or read the documentation) to find out how to use GnuCOBOL to get what you want.
