In computing, file extensions are used to identify the format of files and the type of information they contain. One such file extension is .CBL, which applies to several different kinds of files. The way to open and use .CBL files depends on the specific format and application they pertain to. Here's a detailed explanation of possible formats and ways to open/use files with a .CBL file extension.
The CBL file extension is most often associated with COBOL source code files. COBOL, which stands for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business data processing. To view and edit .CBL files of COBOL source code, you can use popular text editors like Notepad++, which can be downloaded here. Notepad++
If you're interested in compiling COBOL .CBL files into executable programs, you will need a COBOL compiler. GnuCOBOL is an open-source compiler you can use, you can find it here.
Another use for the CBL file extension is for cabling files created with Pro/ENGINEER, a 3D CAD/CAM/CAE feature-based, associative solid modeling software. These Pro/ENGINEER Cabling .CBL files contain the information of wiring and cabling within a larger product design.
Pro/ENGINEER has now been superseded by Creo Parametric, available here. You can use it to open and use .CBL files used in older Pro/ENGINEER projects.
The CBL file extension is also used by RetroPlatform, for its player program listings. RetroPlatform is the technology behind the Amiga Forever and C64 Forever emulation packages. You can download the latest version of RetroPlatform here.
The CBL files are used by the RetroPlatform Player to organize all configurations for the different emulated computers. They play a central part in making all the different software components work together.
In conclusion, the .CBL file extension is used by different applications, including COBOL for its source code files, Pro/ENGINEER for its cabling files, and RetroPlatform for its emulator configuration files. Depending on the application, there are different ways to open and use the .CBL files. The most important factor is identifying the correct application to which the CBL file belongs. Furthermore, in some cases, conversion may be necessary to use the CBL file with different programs.
