More about the book
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. It covers the latest COBOL standard, COBOL 85, and both mainframe and microcomputer (microsoft) COBOL. The text focuses on good program design, not just the syntax of the language, and provides an early introduction to structured programming by means of pseudocode, hierarchy charts, and structure charts. A superior treatment of control breaks is offered along with date division, validating data, and the debugging of programs. There is new material on the design of files and the printing of well-designed reports. The tradition of self-teaching is continued with chapter outlines, objectives, study/review questions, examples, programming exercises, glossary, and extensive appendixes.
