This may give you a hint.
Additionally, if the dependencies (gnucobol3) were installed, then it appears the binary is located /usr/bin/cobc and/or /usr/bin/cobcrun

When you run this command , you will get help, where you can see man page name(s):

Code: Select all

$ apropos cobol
cob-config (1)       - GnuCOBOL
cobcrun (1)          - GnuCOBOL
When I run it, I will get the best instruction:
man cobcrun wrote:
SEE ALSO
       The  full  documentation for cobcrun is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
       If the info and cobcrun programs are properly installed at  your  site,
       the command

              info gnucobol

       should give you access to the complete manual.
