In August 2004, we published a new edition of this book entitled
Murach's Mainframe
COBOL. It focuses on COBOL as it’s used in IBM mainframe
shops because that’s where almost all COBOL programming
is done. So unless you’re a student who needs Murach’s
Structured COBOL for a class, we recommend that you get a copy of Mainframe COBOL instead.
If you are using Structured COBOL for a class…or if
you already have a copy of this edition…you can use the links
on this page to get any additional information or downloads
that you need.
Murach’s Structured COBOL was designed so that
you could practice using COBOL on your own PC using a PC-based
compiler if you wanted to. However, the PC compiler that’s
illustrated (Micro Focus Personal COBOL) is no longer available;
it’s been replaced with a compiler known as Micro Focus
Net Express. The good news is that the COBOL code works the
same for both Personal COBOL and Net Express, and the interface
and development tools are similar.
So if you want to work with COBOL on a PC as you read
our book, one option is to get Net
Express 5.0. This product is available is available
directly from us or from Micro Focus.
To make it easier for you to use Net Express with our
book, we’ve developed two downloadable
PDF documents. The first document is a tutorial
that shows you how to edit, compile, test, and debug
COBOL programs with Net Express; you can use it in place
of chapter 2 in the book. The second document presents
the exercises that are in the book with specific instructions
for the users of Net Express.
