In native COBOL I make heavy use of the compile directive:
CALLFH"ABCDEF"
Where “ABCDEF” is ABCDEF.GNT.
Moving to COBOL .NET and .NET Core, “ABCDEF” becomes a DLL but should it be a class or program?
What is the benefit of either, if that’s an option?

Hi Neil,
You should be able to recompile your current custom file handler program as a COBOL program within a Class Library project under .NET or .NET Core as the call interface to the file handler is the same. I tested this here and it worked fine on both platforms.

Neil,
It will continue to be a program.
In managed code a program is actually compiled as a class anyway.
