This book teaches students to design programs that are easy to read, debug, modify and maintain, and to write well-designed, elementary to advanced structural COBOL programs in their entirety. "Structured COBOL Programming" will also familiarize students with programming tools such as pseudocode and hierarchy charts that make program logic more structured, modular and top- down. The examples, illustrations, self-tests and reviews, as well as the practice programs and programming assignments are now more business-oriented. COBOL 85 has been fully integrated into the text, including new ANSI-approved features. Systems analysis and database design concepts such as data validation, error control procedures, file and report design, and screen layout are described in detail.

From the Publisher:

Traditionally one of the most popular mainframe languages, COBOL is being used for a wider array of applications thanks to new technologies. While maintaining most of the content which has made it a standard reference in COBOL programming, the eighth edition of this book is revised to meet the changing needs of programmers working with this language. In addition to complete COBOL coverage, this new edition includes coverage of interactive programming, PC COBOL, and new applications such as object-oriented programming.
