Cobol Programmeren Add to favorites

In the Cobol Programming course, participants learn to develop applications in the Common Business Oriented Language (COBOL). Cobol emerged from the Conference on Data Systems Language (CODASYL) in 1959, when more and more companies in the Western world felt the need for the automation of processes. Cobol is still widely used by banks and insurance companies, but has undergone many changes since the early days. Since the COBOL 2002 standard, Cobol also supports object-oriented programming.

Cobol Intro

The course starts with an overview of the typical features and program structure of Cobol. The Cobol Metalanguage, Divisions, Sections, Paragraphs, Sentences and Statements are discussed.

Data Declarations and Procedure Divisions

Subsequently, the use of Data Declarations and Procedure Divisions is discussed. Attention is paid to literals, constants, variables, structured data and assignment. And also input and output and various verbs are discussed such as ACCEPT, DISPLAY, COMPUTE, ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE.

Control Flow

Furthermore, control flow constructions in Cobol with selections and iterations are part of the program of the course. This includes condition types, truth tables, decision tables, the EVALUATE Metalanguage and also PERFORM..THRU, PERFORM..TIMES and PERFORM..VARYING.

Subroutines

After a discussion of subroutines in Cobol, it is now the turn of a discussion of reading and writing sequential files.

records

Attention is paid to Records, Fields, Record Buffers, Variable-Length Records and the operations SELECT, ASSIGN, OPEN, CLOSE, READ and WRITE.

Arrays and Strings

Finally, tabular data, arrays and strings in Cobol are reviewed and the course is concluded with the treatment of object-oriented programming in Cobol with modules and classes.

Target group Course Cobol Programming

The Cobol Programming course is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to program in the Cobol programming language.

Prerequisites Course Cobol Programming

To participate in this course, basic knowledge of programming in another programming language is beneficial for understanding, but not required.

Execution Training Cobol Programming

The theory is treated on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is clarified through demos. After discussing a module, there is the opportunity to practice. The course times are from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Certification Course Cobol Programming

After successfully completing the course, the participants receive an official Cobol Programming certificate.
