Publisher's Synopsis
COBOL is the most popular language used in commercial environments. In common with other languages, there is little formal teaching of COBOL at colleges and universities, and any teaching tends to have an academic bias. The use of COBOL in business requires slightly different skills. Software Design with COBOL and SQL answers the need for a book on COBOL with specific reference to its commercial applications. The book provides a basic introduction to the language, but concentrates on explaining how to use COBOL in a commercial environment to programmers who probably have some experience in the language. The book is a title in the Computer Studies series.
