	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.

	The COBOL Programming Language
		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 THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		COBOL is perfect for printing accounting records because every variable is defined in detail (# of decimal digits and location of decimal point) plus file records are defined with detail as are the lines to be output to the printer.
		COBOL is associated with the year 2000 problem because it is one of the oldest languages and it is ideally suited for businesses.
		COBOL associated with mainframes may seem that it is not suited for object technology, push button graphical interface, and interactive development environments, but this is not a flaw in the language.

	BBC - h2g2 - COBOL - The Programming Language
		COBOL, Common Business Oriented Language, was developed in 1960 by a joint committee to meet the needs of the commercial world that other languages of that time, Fortran or Assembler, for instance, failed to do.
		COBOL is a rather verbose programming language, as seen in the example given at the top of this article.
		However, much of program development/debugging/testing is done on a PC nowadays; the source code is then transferred to the mainframe where it is compiled and the program is executed.

	Introduction to COBOL
		Most COBOL programs operate in a domain where the program complexity lies in the business rules that have to be encoded rather than in the sophistication of the data structures or algorithms required.
		When a COBOL program is moved to a new machine, or has new peripheral devices attached, or is required to work in a different country; COBOL programmers know that the parts of the program that will have to be altered to accommodate these changes will be isolated in the Environment Division.
		COBOL is one of the oldest programming languages in use.

		This perceived incongruity, however, is more a reflection of the mainframe’s ability to keep pace with the innovations of desktop and client-server computing than a flaw in the COBOL language.
		It is interesting to note that COBOL was the first programming language whose use was mandated by the Department of Defense.
		This program demonstrates the text output function of the COBOL programming language by displaying the message "Hello world!".

		Today, C language is the preferred choice for programming and COBOL is seldom used to write new software.
		However, the language is considered to be rather wordy with an overly rigid format.

	COBOL
		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).
