Question: Can Microsoft COBOL handle graphic screens either directly or indirectly through calls to some other type of program?

Response: Microsoft COBOL does not support graphics. However, it is possible to CALL an assembly-language subroutine that performs graphics from within a COBOL program. For more information on this topic, please see Section 10.6, Pages 94-104 of the “Microsoft COBOL Compiler User’s Guide.”
