COBOL: Optimised and Maintainable Application Programming

This book is intended as a technical reference supplementfor commercial COBOL software developers and maintenance programmers whowish to increase their program's execution time performance and systemthroughput while at the same time decreasing program maintenance times. Agood working knowledge, not only of COBOL, but also of computingterminology and methods is assumed in this book and correct implementationof the techniques described in this work will result in the production offaster executing and at the same time more readable and maintainable code.Most of the examples used in this book were developed in IBM VS COBOLII for OS/390 MVS. The rest were coded in Microfocus‘ COBOL for MSDOS. Nevertheless, all the coding examples lend themselves readily forsimple conversion to other systems. The majority of example code used inthis book is taken from sites I have coded for in Germany during the lastten years. As a result, many of the code comments are in German - or atleast my interpretation of the language. However, this should presentlittle hindrance to an experienced coder, fluent only in COBOL andEnglish.
