Introduction to Cobol A Guide to Modular Structured Programming

For freshman/sophomore level introductory courses in computer programming, such as Programming and Design, Introduction to COBOL Programming, Introduction to Business Programming, and Introduction to Computer Science. Light on technical lingo and free of extraneous details, this carefully crafted introductory text presents COBOL at a level new students will enjoy and readily understand, using a simplified, learn-by-example approach that stresses top-down design and modular structured programming. Placing a special emphasis on planning and developing the program logic, it offers complete programming examples that walk students through the problem analysis, logic design, program coding, testing, and debugging, and examines sequential and indexed file processing in an easy-to-follow, step-wise manner.Collopy, David M. is the author of 'Introduction to Cobol A Guide to Modular Structured Programming', published 1999 under ISBN 9780139090608 and ISBN 0139090606.
