Fundamentals of Structured Cobol Programming

Rating:
Summary: The key word is structured
Review: Those that can program. Those that can't COBOL.

I Know the final days of COBOL equating to money was the Y2K bug. Now it has gone back into obscurity. However you should know something of it, as it is important for English majors to know about old English. One day you may run in to it in some dark dusty corner or find a jazzed up version of COBOL and JAVA for those old machines that won't die. And this is a good book to start with.

Aside from the practical examples there are lists of ASCII and even quick cards. There are programming techniques and job control hints. Again this is a good starting place to learn your history.
