If you're a COBOL programmer eager to keep pace with the latest standard - COBOL 370 - then this book is your one-stop reference. Building skillfully on familiar COBOL II standards, COBOL/370 guides experienced programmers through an efficient transition - all the while explaining how and why so many people are converting to the new COBOL 370.
Packed with practical information that can be put to immediate use, this book addresses the technical realities of COBOL 370 and shows you what it can really do. With unique reference tables and abundant examples, as well as specific coverage of eliminated and new features, conversion problems, special environments, programming techniques, debugging techniques, and compiled options, COBOL/370 is a welcome alternative to IBM manuals.
