PROGRAMMING IN ANSI COBOL
(for 5th Semester Students only

COBOL is one of the most widely used language in business applications and one of the oldest programming languages .The renewed interest in this language has been spurred by the Y2K problem wherein much of the old COBOL software either has to be modified , maintained or rewritten in a new language. COBOL software maintenance accounts for a substantial percentage of the work subcontracted to Indian software firms. You may have noticed that many job ads are specifying COBOL skills .Since the Y2K work is expected to continue for at least 4-5 years beyond the year 2000 , it is our belief that this course will help students aspiring to a career in software .

This course aims at giving Students an in-depth understanding of the COBOL language so that they can maintain/develop COBOL software.
