Definition
of Cobol |
|
COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) was one of the
earliest high-level programming languages. It was developed in 1959 by a
group of computer professionals called the Conference on Data Systems
Languages (CODASYL). Since 1959 it has undergone several modifications
and improvements. In an attempt to overcome the problem of
incompatibility between different versions of COBOL, the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) developed a standard form of the
language in 1968. This version was known as American National Standard
(ANS) COBOL.
In 1974, ANSI published a revised version of (ANS) COBOL, containing a
number of features that were not in the 1968 version. In 1985, ANSI
published still another revised version that had new features not in the
1974 standard.
The language continues to evolve today. Object-oriented COBOL is a
subset of COBOL 97, which is the fourth edition in the continuing
evolution of ANSI/ISO standard COBOL. COBOL 97 includes conventional
improvements as well as object-oriented features. Like the C++
programming language, object-oriented COBOL compilers are available even
as the language moves toward standardization.

Zing Cobol
|
The aim of the ZingCOBOL, a tutorial aimed at COBOL beginners, is to give the
basics of the COBOL programming language for anyone who knows a little bit about
computers (not much) and prehaps will have come across another procedural
progamming language such as C, BASIC or Pascal. |

The same as the above. |

From one of the dinosaurs who still writes COBOL -- the language which is on the
brink of extinction, and always will be -- welcome to my COBOL page. Despite
what you may have heard, this old fossil of a language can survive, thrive, and
even coexist with those hairy little mammals who have been acting so smug and
uppity.

Object Oriented Cobol
|
"The version described here is IBM's implementation, mostly for mainframes,
though I gather the OS/2 and AIX versions are similar. The draft standard
evidently provides additional features which IBM has not implemented." |
