# How to run Cobol Program on UNIX?

Guys I am writing this blog, after I came from my office. Writing this post listening to a [CD](http://astore.amazon.com/mainframerobo12-20/detail/007149717X). After Mainframe, everyone knows that UNIX is popular OS. Since it is low expensive, high-speed and security compared to Mainframe. However, they have their own pros and cons.

## [How to](https://srinimf.com/2022/07/11/how-to-measure-speed-of-python-code/) Run COBOL in the UNIX?

To run COBOL programs in the UNIX® environment, you must compile them with the Enterprise COBOL or the COBOL for OS/[390](https://srinimf.com/2015/11/11/mainframe-os390-and-zos-difference/)® and VM compiler. They must be reentrant, so use the compiler and binder option RENT.

After that you all know running a Script on Unix. Just I am giving sample code..here

**tso “call ‘my.loadlib(myprog)'”**

if we submit this command in Unix terminal, the script will run.
