Description

In this Enterprise COBOL online training course, you will learn the basics of Enterprise COBOL application development. Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 1 includes coding the four divisions, basic logic, data definition, and sequential I/O processing.

Once you have completed Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 1 the next course in this series is Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 2. The Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 2 course will enhance your COBOL programming skills by learning how to code and run COBOL programs that process and stores raw data, make appropriate use of copybooks, create new data sets using Transaction Master Logic, create complex reports, code tables, indices, subscripts, intrinsic functions, and appropriate compile options and learn how to use SEACH, SEACH ALL and PERFORM. Click here to learn more about Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 2.

Objectives

As a result of taking this Enterprise COBOL training , you will be able to:

• Describe and code the layout of a basic COBOL program
• Code COBOL programs with conditional and repetitive processing
• Code COBOL programs that read and write sequential files
• Compile, link and run COBOL programs using JCL.

System Requirements

Hardware:

• IBM z/OS with a TSO userid and password
• PC or terminal connectivity to the mainframe

Software:

• PROC (or equivant JCL or tool) to compile
• Valid JOB statement
• Specific JCL names for installation, such as UNIT=for disks

Please note: The hardware and software above will produce the same results as the exercise answers indicate. You can however run the course exercises using Micro Focus COBOL compiler (runs on MS Windows) and acheive the same answers. There are some slight differences: there is no "blocking" of records, records usually end in two extra characters - CR/LF (Carriage Return/Line feed), and the concept of FB (Fixed Block) is unknown on the PC.  Otherwise the COBOL compilers should support most activities within the course.
