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.
