Dashcourses has partnered with GogoTraining to bring you this Self-paced Course.

Enterprise COBOL Programming Part 2 of this two-part series continues to teach you the basics of Enterprise COBOL application development. It focuses on various types of sequential I/O, and report writing as well as intrinsic functions and table processing. This series can be followed by Enterprise COBOL Programming: Intermediate and Enterprise COBOL Programming: Advanced.

Training Objectives

As a result of taking this course, you will be able to:

  • Code and run COBOL programs that process raw data or stored data
  • Make appropriate use of copybooks
  • Create new data sets using Transaction Master Logic
  • Create complex reports such as multi-level control break reports
  • Code tables, indices, subscripts, intrinsic functions, and appropriate compile options
  • Search tables using SEARCH, SEARCH ALL and PERFORM

Prerequisites

Students need to have completed Part 1 of the Enterprise COBOL Programming: Introduction course, and have basic experience with z/OS JCL for JES2 or JES3, and TSO/ISPF.
