Description

This Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 2 online course will continue your knowledge and skills in COBOL programming by learning more advanced coding, compiling, numbers, tables, reports and using more complex tools and concepts.

In order to take this course you need to have taken Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 1 and have experience with z/OS JLC for JES2 or JES3, and TSO/ISPF.

Objectives

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

• Code and run COBOL programs that process raw data or stored data
• Make appropriate use of copybooks
• Create new data sets using Transaction Master Logic
• Create complex reports such as multi-level control break reports
• Code tables, indices, subscripts, intrinsic functions, and appropriate compile options
• Search tables using SEARCH, SEARCH ALL and PERFORM

System Requirements

Hardware:

• IBM z/OS with 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.
