Complete COBOL Refresher in 1 Hour  

PlZ once give u num sir

I want guidelines from u

Can u share your contact sir

Thank you so much 😀 Much Appreciated on your comments.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Divya. Sure Will try to do some videos on tools.

Glad to hear that!

how to install cobol please guide me

Glad it was helpful!

Thank You Vamsi. Happy to hear!!

BS

Sure 👍

positive

The default would be positive. If you want to change it to negative you can move or pass the value. 01 WS-SIGN-NEG-NUM PIC S9(3)V9(2) VALUE -123.45.

As a programmer of one of the largest, non stoppable ATM network, we NEVER used COBOL for the Network. It was all proprietary assembler code😊

Will be doing in 2021. Thank you!

Always welcome

Sir can you do pl1 refresher video with programs your all videos are useful for interview

Thank you, I will

Yes you can.

As a fresher any technology is good . Mainframes are there from many decades and still we be there for decades..Feel proud to work in mainframe systems..

@@KumarITChannel I worked years on some of the super minicomputers. DEC PDP, DG MV 1000 and 1500. Some others.

Sure Zareena that's next in my queue. Happy learning! and thanks for watching.

@@KumarITChannel Waiting for db2 sql.... Thanks for all these refreshers

Noted! Thanks! Shiraz

I dumped it for a much better language - Assembly

In COBOL, "NEXT" is used to transfer control to the next iteration of a loop, while "CONTINUE" is used to do nothing and continue with the next statement.

Hi Aditya, Please drop an email to kumaritchannel@gmail.com.

Hi Aditya

No Idea. You can check for COURSERA or UDEMY or IBM Redbooks for self learning and it's good.

Yes, soon! I will be making a video on it.

Sure definitely

I hope you got the solution from my other Video.. Thank you! for watching.

You need to have the emulator installed on your system. Search for tn3270 emulator after the installation you can connect to mainframe.

@@KumarITChannel after installation what we have to do?

@@sanjeevnaruboina215 Check for IBM ZOWE an open source mainframe simulator tool, you can get a month trial wherein you would be able to connect to MVS where you can practice JCL/COBOL programs, i didn't try DB2, but I am sure there would be necessary provision for that as well.

I hope you find this useful. It's evident that you have strong feelings about COBOL and the way it's being managed by its major vendors. Indeed, COBOL has been a significant player in the IT industry for decades, particularly in mainframe environments. Let's unpack some of the points you've made: COBOL's Relevance: COBOL remains relevant because many critical systems, especially in the banking and financial sectors, still run on it. It's not so much about the superiority of the language itself but about the decades of legacy code that institutions find challenging to migrate. IBM and Micro Focus: While IBM and Micro Focus are major players in the COBOL world, especially in terms of compilers and platforms, they're not the only options available. However, their solutions are among the most mature and widely adopted in enterprise environments. Web Stack & Modernization: There have been efforts to make COBOL more "web-friendly". For example, Micro Focus offers solutions to expose COBOL applications as web services. There are also frameworks that allow integration of COBOL with modern technologies. But you're right in the sense that it doesn't compare to modern web-centric languages or frameworks in terms of ease of development or ecosystem. PHP vs COBOL: PHP and COBOL serve very different purposes. While COBOL is rooted in business logic, often for large, monolithic applications, PHP is a server-side scripting language tailored for web development. The two aren't directly comparable. However, with the right tools, you can integrate COBOL logic with a web front-end developed in PHP or another modern language. Legacy and Migration: One significant challenge for many organizations is that migrating from legacy COBOL applications to more modern platforms is expensive, risky, and time-consuming. COBOL's persistence isn't just about companies refusing to adopt newer technologies, but often about risk mitigation and financial pragmatism.

@@KumarITChannel I have been a Cobol programmer on the IBM and NCR Mainframes as well IBM S/36/38s. COBOL is the best language i know I can do wonders with it. Now that i have matured and grown into the world of Internet and Web Technologies, i am deeply disappointed because COBOL i still lagging. Why? IBM monopoly. I hate them since 1973. I know PHP is in a different domain but COBOL should have been there if not for 2 big bullies - IBM and Microfocus. Leaving these aside, can i ask you a favor to recommend some solution for COBOL on the Windows platform that can integrate with web techs run on both linux and windows? Or are you arms twisted by the bullies?
