Includes ANSI based COBOL compiler with full source code for examples supplied. Learn COBOL quickly and easily. Paper. 3 1/2 inch disk included. This description may be from another edition of this product.
The book contains a lot of information on the features of the COBOL language. Being a novice COBOL programmer, I found the book difficult to follow at times. It discussed in depth many features that are either obsolete or not implemented in the included compiler. Also, I would have liked to seen a discussion on how the compiler handles the SCREEN SECTION and trapping of function keys. However, the included compiler is great tool to use to learn the language and is worth the cost of the book alone.
This is a very in-depth book, yet very good.

I think that this book is good for anyone who knows Cobol. This book is a great refresher for what you have previously learned. Great Syntax Help.
