Cobol Companion
The COBOL language is one of the most widely used in both FE, HE and industry. Many COBOL textbooks concentrate on the syntax of the language giving only short examples and hence students often experience problems in transferring their technical knowledge to practical situations.
This book, intended as a 'companion' to any introductory COBOL textbook or as further study for existing users of COBOL, follows a practical, problem based approach that will give the reader a more realistic and useful grounding in how to construct effective programs in COBOL 85.
Stresses the importance of good design and thorough testing
Includes a program debug checklist of common program failures and their possible causes
Lists five major practical programs providing realistic tips for design and implementation of programs
