About this title

From the Author

Why I Wrote this book
Many writers on object technology have stated object concepts can be applied to any language, but none of them tell you how. In this book I wanted to use object concepts to build flexible business software with conventional COBOL structures. I've used the techniques and they do work. The book is useful even if you use an OO COBOL compiler. Decisions on classes and methods should tie back to the business. This book can help you make those decisions and avoid replicating the kinds of old control flow logic that characterizes so many legacy COBOL systems.
