Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product are disclosed for carrying out the compilation of an original Cobol program that includes a mix of Cobol, C++ or JAVA and optional OpenMP directives in a single source program file so as to provide improved performance during execution of the program and improved convenience and features in programming. The approach or method includes performing a compilation (or translation) step utilizing a first compiler or translating program which is a is a specialized compiler/translator that takes as input a Cobol source program including a further provision for the inclusion of C/C++ program statements and OpenMP statements, and produces as output an intermediate computer program, the intermediate program that is entirely in C or C++, the intermediate program being intended for further compilation by an existing selected second compiler, the second compiler being an optimizing compiler that provides support for parallelism for the programs described in the C/C++ programming languages.
