Intermediate COBOL

This course extends the student's knowledge of COBOL programming in both volume and depth. The course describes the seven major sections within the DATA DIVISION and their purpose. The student learns many of the more subtle ways to define and store data. The major clauses available in a data description item are discussed including numeric usages such as COMPUTATIONAL, BINARY, and PACKED-DECIMAL storage. The course includes a more detailed description of using single and multidimensional tables. The student learns a number of important COBOL techniques such as creating comment lines, debugging lines, and continuing statements across source records. The COBOL Sort/Merge facility is covered in detail. There is a section on important COBOL numeric and alphanumeric functions. The course discusses interprogram communication (describing how one program may call another) and pass and return parameters.
