SuperBOL
A complete modern suite for COBOL migration. SuperBOL combines the open-source GnuCOBOL compiler with SuperBOL Studio, a modern development environment, to accelerate and secure COBOL migration.
Two components, one COBOL toolchain
SuperBOL pairs an open source compiler with a modern editor. Each is useful on its own, and together they cover the whole path from mainframe COBOL to Linux and the cloud.
SuperBOL Studio
The development environment: a VSCode extension powered by a Language Server Protocol engine, with code coverage, project visualization and SQL support.
GnuCOBOL
The compiler: open source, ISO compliant, supporting 20+ dialects and portable across Linux, Windows and the cloud without a rewrite.
What a migration to SuperBOL changes
Vendor independence
The compiler and the editor are both open source.
Cost reduction
No proprietary licence, on the compiler or the mainframe.
DevOps modernization
COBOL builds and tests inside your CI/CD pipelines.
Cloud deployment
The same COBOL on Linux servers, containers or cloud.
Trusted in production

Frequently asked questions
What is SuperBOL?
SuperBOL is a complete COBOL migration suite combining the open-source GnuCOBOL compiler with SuperBOL Studio, a modern VSCode-based development environment. It provides everything you need to modernize your COBOL systems.
Can SuperBOL replace proprietary COBOL environments?
Yes. SuperBOL supports 20+ COBOL dialects and is production-tested by major organizations including DGFiP and trusted by banks such as Baader, Bethmann, and ODDO BHF.
What services does Titagone offer for COBOL migration?
We provide comprehensive support including migration assessment, dialect adaptation, custom compiler extensions, modernization consulting, and long-term maintenance backed by 15+ years of programming language expertise.
Is SuperBOL Studio open source?
Yes. SuperBOL Studio is open source and freely available as a VSCode extension. It provides LSP-powered code analysis, coverage visualization, and support for all major COBOL dialects.
How does GnuCOBOL work within SuperBOL?
GnuCOBOL is the compiler backbone of SuperBOL. It translates COBOL to C and compiles it natively, providing vendor independence, modern database support, and cross-platform portability.
