This chapter describes how ILE COBOL interacts with externally attached devices. These devices are externally attached hardware such as printers, tape units, diskette units, display stations, and other systems.
You can access externally attached devices from ILE COBOL by using device files. Device Files are files that provide access to externally attached devices such as displays, printers, tapes, diskettes, and other systems that are attached by a communications line.
