COBOL - INTRODUCTION FOR NEWBIE

Hi IT knowledge lover.. welcome to my blog at “We Are Knowledge”.. in here you will getting many IT knowledge, from IT knowledge based Web programming like as : php, html until dekstop programming like as : cobol, c++, pascal. And I also provided general knowledge like as : receip Indonesian foods. There you are will getting many knowledge about method cook of Indonesian foods.

But now, I want giving you IT knowledge about program language ”COBOL”. And discuss of “introduction of program language COBOL”. You will know about COBOL.

You will known ?? let’s do read my article… have fun for reading !!

COBOL is program language based dekstop, like as : pascal, c++ they are also program language based desktop. If on program language cobol not have compile it yourself, on pascal having compile it yourself. Therefore program language cobol need help to compile his program.

In making program you can using text editor. Likely notepad. But if you will saving your job (program) you must saving with save as type = “cob” ex : program.cob.

For compile in program language cobol you can press button in keyboard “alt + F9” if there are errors or not, and to appear. And for running the program that you make press button in keyboard “ctrl + F9”. Previous you compile and running the program you must enter to cmd. For enter you can using this “press window + R (in keyboard) and write >> cmd >> enter. Or click start >> run >> cmd >> enter.

Cobol programming language called structured program. In program language cobol have 4 (four) procedure, namely:

1. identification division

                Progam-id >> for name of your program

                Author        >> for name the programmer

2. environment division

3. data division

                Working-storage section >> for variable declaration

4. procedure division >> place for all coding program.

Ok.. just it..

I hope you likely with it..

You must try this program language..

See you later brother…
