In my former life I wrote business applications in COBOL. CIRCA late 1970's and 80's. This was the old style "green screen" COBOL.
I was pretty good at it, but I've been out of the business for sometime. I now have a need to write some custom business apps. To learn what today's COBOL is like I purchased a book, "Mastering COBOL" which included Fujitsu COBOL, POWERCOBOL V4 and other goodies. It also included sample programs to work with, but they are V3 and will not convert.
The publisher will refund the cost of the book, but cannot supply the sample programs.
Can anyone share some simple business programs. Idealy, I would like something that handles screen input, accesses files with sequential, relative or ISAM orgganization and prints reports.
Any help will be appreciated. The Fujitsu manuals are great, but I need some practical examples.
Thanks
