Is there any good book for learning COBOL and maybe even tools?
- code_chimp 11y agoThe COBOL version of K&R was Stern & Stern: http://www.amazon.com/Structured-COBOL-Programming-Nancy-Stern/dp/047113886X http://www.amazon.com/Structured-COBOL-Programming-Nancy-Ste... - I'm guessing it's probably still pretty relevant as I was playing a little with OpenCobol last year and managed to look up what I had forgotten in my old dog-eared copy of that book.
- tolle 11y agoMurach's Mainframe COBOL is a decent book. GNU COBOL works for learning but database stuff is a bit of a hassle. Microfocus has a visual COBOL personal license that's free. Setting it up to work with db2 is fairly pain free.
