[open-cobol-list] NIST Test Suite

[Keisuke Nishida]

Hi,

I have somehow arranged my NIST-test supporting tools for TinyCOBOL:

  http://www.nurs.or.jp/~knishida/cobol-testsuite.tar.gz

See README in the subdirectory `cobol85' for usage.
If you run the test, test reports will be stored in report.txt
for each test module.

Would you like it?

Their test archive is not self-extracting by itself.  We need some
supporting scripts that help extracting, as well as scripts that
summarize the test results.

By the way, NIST also distributes Embedded SQL Test Suite for
various languages, including COBOL:

Did anyone try it?
