RosettaCode G'day everyone. I'm a list-lurker. Well, not entirely. I have built open-cobol 1.1 on MingGW and Cygwin quite recently and have attempted to reacquaint myself with COBOL. It's been about 20 years since I did anything serious with the language. Aa-a-anyway, I've been responding to some of the programming tas... 10 Aug 2010 12:27

New to COBOL Yes, believe it or not they still teach COBOL at my school. I am totally lost in my class and have no idea what anything is or how COBOL is structured.
