Considering the Mainstream environments with COBOL Enterprise for z/OS and a generic Linux environment with Wildebeest, both should trigger error messages, exceptions and system logs.
Considering that I have full access to the source code, as well as the resources to modify it, what kind of log messages, errors and exceptions can be generated using COBOL in its latest versions (ISO COBOL2002)? It is possible to centralize these logs generated by the application?
I think that besides the language, it is important in this case to have more information: what is the execution environment? (Linux/some old mainframe S.O. ?) what Cobol implementation? You can change the application if necessary, or it does not have access to sources/ways to do a rebuild?

With extensive code access and rebuild. Linux environments with Opencobol and official IBM COBOL environment. COBOL 2002 or higher
