JVM COBOL File Handler

The JVM COBOL file handler is a file handler compiled to managed code, which you can use in situations where the Micro Focus file handler is not permitted.

By default, file handling statements, such as OPEN, READ and WRITE, use the Micro Focus file handler. In some environments, such as application servers and servlets, you are not permitted to use this file handler, because it is compiled native code. In these situations, configure your applications to use the JVM file handler instead, which is compiled managed code.
