	COBOL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		COBOL is a third-generation programming language, and one of the oldest programming languages still in active use.
		COBOL was initially created in 1959 by The Short Range Committee, one of three committees proposed at a meeting held at the Whitehouse on May 28 and 29, 1959, organized by Charles Phillips of the United States Department of Defense (exactly one year after the Zurich ALGOL meeting).
		COBOL programs are in use globally in governmental and military agencies, in commercial enterprises, and on operating systems such as IBM's z/OS, Microsoft's Windows, and the Unix/Linux families.

		Il COBOL (COmmon Business Oriented Language, ossia "linguaggio comune per applicazioni commerciali") è uno dei primi linguaggi di programmazione ad essere stato sviluppato ed ancora oggi è molto utilizzato.
		Il Cobol è un linguaggio ad alto livello di tipo procedurale, orientato allo sviluppo di applicazioni commerciali e per l’elaborazione di grossi volumi di dati; le istruzioni sono molto simili a frasi della lingua inglese ed organizzate in uno schema rigido di struttura composto di sezioni e paragrafi.

	OO COBOL
		Object state in OO COBOL consists of data items (which may be structured) defined in class object or object data divisions, and data defined within methods of class objects or objects.
		In OO COBOL, the ability for a data item to contain various objects of different classes means that a method invocation on that data item can be bound to one of many possible methods.
		In OO COBOL, an object reference is a value that uniquely identifies an object for the lifetime of the object.

	The COBOL Programming Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) was one of the earliest high-level programming languages.
		Object-oriented COBOL is a subset of COBOL 97, which is the fourth edition in the continuing evolution of ANSI/ISO standard COBOL.
		COBOL, long associated with green screens, core dumps, and traditional mainframe connections, may at first glance seem at odds with object technology, push-button graphical interfaces, and interactive development environments.

		COBOL For GCC is a project to produce a free COBOL compiler compliant with the COBOL 85 Standard, integrated into the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
		The purpose of this project is to allow the many millions of COBOL programmers to bring their experience and talent to the world of free software development.
		The plan is to get a subset of COBOL going which will enable COBOL programmers to then help with the rest of the project, as well as C programmers.

		A first cause is that after 1985 the COBOL standardization committee did not succeed in establishing a new standard which met the latest technological demands.
		What also did not help was that COBOL development environments very quickly costed a couple of thousand euros or dollars, while for a couple of hundred euros / dollars tools for the popular languages were available.
		In the meantime the COBOL 2002 standard arrived and initiatives are taken to provide low cost, or even free, development systems (see COBOL language).

		Although COBOL is enjoying a brief resurgence as a result of Y2K conversions (did you expect to see COBOL for Dummies published in your lifetime?) -- it seems obvious that people will go back to their former attitudes about COBOL and COBOL programmers after Y2K work is done.
		COBOL experts probably know what that means, but since this was my first experience with COBOL, I just read the manual and used what was documented there.

		Implementation of a miniscule subset of COBOL, consisting of working storage with non-numeric literals, and all of the COBOL 2002 integral data types (binary-char binary-short binary-long and also binary-long-long) and structures (incomplete), redefines, occurs, pointers and parts of the set verb and the display and stop run verbs in the procedure division.
		At the moment we only generate code for a very small subset of COBOL but now we have overcome all the hurdles this subset should grow rapidly.

	What is COBOL? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Common Business Oriented Language
		COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) was the first widely-used high-level programming language for business applications.
		While the language has been updated over the years, it is generally perceived as out-of-date and COBOL programs are generally viewed as legacy applications.
		COBOL was an effort to make a programming language that was like natural English, easy to write and easier to read the code after you'd written it.
