Book Description

The COBOL (COmmon Business Oriented Language) system was developed in an effort to produce an English-like programming language which can be used on many different types of data processing systems. This self-instructional manual has been developed to teach the beginner the fundamentals of COBOL programming.

With the help of this book, you'll read and understand existing COBOL programs as well as write programs of your own. This book contains everything you need to know to store and retrieve data in files, perform calculations necessary for business operations, and organize and format data for presentation on paper and on the computer screen.
