how to make COBOL run on Windows 10 ?[message #1755013]

So I downloaded a COBOL compiler and used Notepad ++ for a testrun with COBOL, as earlier I used Java with JDK and Notepad++ at the beginning.
The core problem now is, when I try to execute the program with cmd, I get an error message which says it isnt able to run a 16 bit programm on a x64 OS.
I also haven't included COBOL in my variable System PATH with the fear to wreck my PC. Anyone knows any advice?

You obviously use a *very* outdated COBOL compiler when it is 16bit. I suggest getting GnuCOBOL, official 32bit windows executables are ready-to-use and if you like to you can build 64bit executables yourself.
You may have guessed it: works even better with a linux OS.

The COBOL-IT Developer Studio is an Eclipse-based development environment that allows you to develop, debug and maintain your COBOL applications in a highly-configurable project-oriented environment.

Our goal is to provide you with an Eclipse-based tool for Development and Debugging on all of the platforms on which the COBOL-IT Compiler Suite Enterprise Edition is available.

Eclipse is the most widely-used development environment framework and benefits from a mature toolset, a well-developed knowledge base and broad portability.
In the Eclipse framework, the COBOL-IT Developer Studio provides the ablity to manage projects on all the Windows/Linux/UNIX platforms on which COBOL-IT Compiler Suite is available.
Project can be built, run, and run in debug on both local machines, and remote host machines.

The COBOL-IT Code Editor will reduce the number of errors you make while coding and reduce the time it takes to correct them.
The COBOL-IT Code Editor updates an Outline View of your code in real time, making it very easy to navigate within large source files.
The COBOL-IT Code Editor provides configurable hot keys, pre-defined code fragments easily inserted into your code, tab settings, line numbers, colorization and capitalization of reserved words, support for ANSI and Terminal source formats and more.

The COBOL-IT Debugger provides the ability to step, or run through source, manage breakpoins, monitor variables, and view variable values in hex or ASCII format.
The COBOL-IT Debugger can be configured to run with specific environment variables
When using a pre-compiler, the COBOL-IT Debugger may configured to debug original source code, or source code generated by the pre-compiler.
The COBOL-IT Debugger can be set to attach to a running process, and detached from the running process when debugging is complete.

A feature-rich, highly configurable Eclipse-based environment

Benefit from the broad portability, and ability to integrate the widest range of third-party tools into your Eclipse-based development environment.
