Explanation of .cod file extensions:
The .cod file extension is a compiled source code that has been written in dBASE, Fortran, or Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME). COD files are used for creating programs for BlackBerry mobile phones. You can use the Java Development Environment to compile Java source code and then package it into a .COD file. Once you have a COD file, you can load the application into a BlackBerry phone where the Java Virtual Machine will run the application.
COD files contain a header, code segment, data segment, and tail.
Typical problems associated with the .cod file extension:
One of the most common problems with .cod files is getting them to run on your Blackberry phone. These files are often downloaded from Internet sites in a ZIP file or some other compressed archive.
Solutions/Recommendations:
When downloading .cod files from Internet websites, you may need to first unzip them before transferring them to your Blackberry phone. Use an unzip utility designed to open the compressed file.
In addition, if you are downloading free .cod files from an unknown source, you could be opening your computer to malware. Use a good anti-virus and anti-spyware application before unzipping any files.
