This book teaches students to design programs that are easy to read, debug, modify and maintain, and to write well-designed, elementary to advanced structural COBOL programs in their entirety. "Structured COBOL Programming" will also familiarize students with programming tools such as pseudocode and hierarchy charts that make program logic more structured, modular and top- down. The examples, illustrations, self-tests and reviews, as well as the practice programs and programming assignments are now more business-oriented. COBOL 85 has been fully integrated into the text, including new ANSI-approved features. Systems analysis and database design concepts such as data validation, error control procedures, file and report design, and screen layout are described in detail.

From the Back Cover

A hardy perennial!
Despite years of dire predictions, COBOL is still thriving. In fact, it′s practically a perennial. New version of COBOL for PCs now enable you to use COBOL to develop interesting graphical user interfaces, create Web pages, and even incorporate components from other languages such as Visual Basic.
Now with COBOL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY, 10/E, you can take advantage of these exciting new developments and learn how to become a master COBOL programmer.
Features:
∗ Includes new integrated coverage of interactive programming.
∗ Shows how to design programs that area easy to read, debug, modify, and maintain.
∗ Covers information processing and systems concepts that will help you interact with users and systems analysts when designing programs.
∗ Introduces you to programming tools such as pseudocode and hierarchy charts that make program logic more structured, modular, and top–down.
∗ Presents useful techniques for maintaining and modifying older "legacy" programs.
∗ Includes a student CD containing all data for all programming assignments as well as the full Practice Program from each chapter.
