Description
The COBOL programming language has remained viable year after year. Today, COBOL is running a large number of the world's business data applications, and it's likely to remain a viable language in the years ahead.

Now in its 11th Edition, Nancy Stern, Robert Stern, and James Ley's COBOL for the 21st Century continues to show how to design COBOL programs that are easy to read, debug, modify, and maintain. You'll learn to write interactive programs as well as batch programs with sophisticated file processing techniques, and become familiar with valuable information processing and systems concepts.

Features

Integrated coverage of interactive programming

Covers information processing and systems concepts that will help you interact with users and systems analysts when designing programs

Introduces programming tools such as pseudocode and hierarchy charts that make program logic more structured, modular, and top-down

Presents useful techniques for maintaining and modifying older "legacy" programs

Effective learning tools, including chapter outlines and objectives, debugging tips and exercises, critical thinking questions, and programming assignments

A running case study builds on what you have learned in each chapter

Links to COBOL Internet resources

New to This Edition

Updated to reflect COBOL 2008, where appropriate

A new chapter on the Report Writer Module
