Murach's Mainframe COBOL
This is the latest edition of our classic COBOL book that has set the standard for structured design and coding since the mid-1970s. It provides the core content needed for going on to CICS or DB2. It introduces your students to required mainframe tasks, like working with JCL. It's the only book that shows how COBOL is used in the real world today (the bestsellers of the 1980s and 1990s never did). And just so there's no mistake about it, this book will outperform any training materials that are available from IBM.
You don't have to have access to a mainframe to use
this book, though. Because COBOL is a standard language,
you can use our book with any COBOL compiler. You can
also use it with Micro
Focus Net Express, which is a
terrific product for teaching COBOL. To facilitate that,
we supply a tutorial and exercises for Net Express.
Training aids available in our Downloads section:
Source code for selected programs from the book; Workbook
with study aids like instructional objectives and projects;
Tutorial for Micro Focus Net Express; Net Express exercises
with starting code and test data
Instructor's CD
The Instructor's CD for this book includes these materials:
- Instructional objectives by chapter
- PowerPoint slides for classroom presentations
- Practice exercises with starting code and test data,
plus exercise solutions; these can be used with any
COBOL compiler
- The same set of practice exercises, but keyed to
Micro Focus Net Express
- Student projects and model solutions
- Multiple-choice tests and answers
- A student workbook with study aids like the instructional
objectives and projects
- A tutorial for Micro Focus Net Express

For a detailed look at these materials, please view
the Instructor's Summary that we've prepared (it's
a PDF document). Then, if you like what you see, you
