Describes how to write, test and maintain COBOL programs on PC workstations and how to upload fully-tested applications to the mainframe for execution. This manual may be used for self-study, on-the-job training, or in the classroom.

Learn how to write, test, and maintain COBOL programs on PC workstations and how to upload fully-tested, high-quality applications to the mainframe for execution. Micro Focus COBOL dramatically improves productivity, gives a faster program turnaround, and reduces mainfarme CPU costs and TSO charges. Providing the skills needed to develop and maintain application programs under OS/2 or DOS on stand-alone PCs or a LAN environment, this manual should be useful for self-study, on-the-job-training, or in the classroom.
