CA-Realia
A COBOL development system published by Computer Associates, Realia was traditionally a mainframe development system that targets IBM mainframes but also offered a DOS development front end, but around 1990 a visual Realia COBOL version was developed for 16 bit Microsoft Windows that could both develop PC applications and be used for developing mainframe applications, but later CA-Realia II has support for 32 bit OS/2 and Windows NT.
CA-Realia II supports DB2 development on Windows, OS/2 and on IBM mainframes, however when using COBOL indexed files there are small incompatibilities between the PC versions and the mainframe versions.
