Cobol Comeback

 

Cobol, that much-maligned zombie of a programming language, simply refuses to die and has been back in the news of late--particularly in California where it made headlines for thwarting the governor's budget-cutting plans. Michael Swaine will have a little something to say on the subject in the next issue of DDJ--but until then, you can take a walk down Cobol's memory lane with this status report, written by IBM's Henry Saade and Ann Wallace for a 1995 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal.
