Name: COBOL Programming
Course Code: CI300
Duration: 5
Scheduled Dates for CI300
The course starts with an overview of structured programming concepts. The four divisions of a COBOL program and their functions are reviewed in detail. Students will gain hands on experience through a series of class discussions and workshop exercises which include several modifications to a skeletal COBOL program. File processing, program looping, conditional program statements, and table processing are covered in detail. Development of clear and understandable program designs is stressed along with building maintainable programs. Program debugging techniques are also discussed. COBOL functions are discusses as a method for efficiently handing special programming requirements.
Target Audience
The course is for entry level students who must understand, design, code, test, and debug COBOL programs.
