This is the latest edition of our classic COBOL book
that has set the standard for structured design and
coding since the mid-1970s. So if you want to learn
how to write COBOL programs the way they're written
in the best enterprise COBOL shops, this is the book
for you. And when you're done learning from this book,
it becomes the best reference you'll ever find for use
on the job.
Throughout this book, you'll learn how to use COBOL
on IBM mainframes because that's where 90% or more of
all COBOL is running. But to work on a mainframe, you
need to know more than just the COBOL language. That's
why this book also shows you:
- how to use the ISPF editor for entering programs
- how to use TSO/E and JCL to compile and test programs
- how to use the AMS utility to work with VSAM files
- how to use CICS for developing interactive COBOL
programs
- how to use DB2 for developing COBOL programs that
handle database data
- how to maintain legacy programs
If you already have the previous edition of this book,
Murach's Structured COBOL…
You probably don’t need this mainframe edition
because much of the material is the same. Basically,
we’ve changed the focus in this edition to reflect
the predominance of mainframe COBOL in today’s
world. (There is a new chapter on VSAM files, but you
can get that material in an expanded form in our JCL
book.)
