TRANSFER COBOL source code
File type: Source code and script file
A gcob file contains COBOL source code used by the obsolete TRANSFER software.
File type category:
Source code and script file
Date updated: October 28, 2026
Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The gcob file extension is associated with TRANSFER, a delivery system for the reliable delivery of information among people and processes.
A gcob file stores COBOL source code for use with that software. The format is obsolete and may no longer be supported by current software.
Open a gcob file with TRANSFER, if the software is available. Because the format is obsolete, current applications may not open it correctly.
A text editor can be used to inspect the file if it contains plain-text source code, but it may not provide the tools needed to build or run the program.
COBOL source code may need to be migrated manually rather than converted as a document.
To reuse the source, open it in a compatible COBOL development environment and adapt it for the target environment as needed.
