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, and it introduces your trainees to required mainframe tasks, like working with JCL.

In fact, every topic is chosen and presented based on the assumption that the trainee will be working in a mainframe shop. So the book has a practical slant that's hard to find anywhere else.

Training aids available in our Downloads section: Source code for selected programs from the book; Workbook with study aids like instructional objectives and projects; Micro Focus Net Express tutorial; 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 data, plus exercise solutions (if you're using Micro Focus Net Express for training, your students can download exercises that are keyed to that software from our Downloads section instead)
  • Student projects and model solutions
  • Multiple-choice tests and answers
  • A trainee workbook with study aids like the instructional objectives and projects
  • A tutorial and exercises for Micro Focus Net Express, if you're using that software to simulate the mainframe environment
  • All of the programs presented in the book

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 can get the Instructor's CD. For more information, just email us at murachbooks@murach.com or call us at 1-800-221-5528.
