History of COBOLHistory of COBOL

1959 – United States Department of Defense 1960 - COBOL initial specifications presented by CODASYL

(Conference on Data Systems Languages)

1964 – BASIC COBOL extended to Visual COBOL 1968 – ANSI (American National Standards Institute)

developed American National Standard (ANS) COBOL

1974 – ANSI published revised version of (ANS) COBOL– Business applications needed to manipulate character as well as numeric data

– String operations added 1985 – COBOL 85 Standards was introduced with revised

version of COBOL-74.

COBOLCOBOL

What does COBOL stand for?COmmon Business Oriented

Language.

Which are target area of COBOL applications?

Defense, Aircraft, Insurance, Finance, Retail etc

(file & data oriented applications involved)

So we can say that COBOL is basically used for writing business applications and not for developing system software

COBOL – Program Structure

Principal portions of a program. There are 4 divisions –a) Identification (Required)b) Environment (Optional)c) Data (Optional)d) Procedure (Required)

User defined chunk of code which consists of one/more paragraphs.

e.g. a) U000-CHECK-LOG SECTION.

b) FILE SECTION.

User defined chunk of code which consists of one/more sentences.

e.g. a) P000-PRINT-FINAL-TOTALS.

b) PROGRAM-ID.A SENTENCE consists of one or

more statements and is terminated by a full stop.

e.g. a) MOVE .21 TO VAT-RATE

b) COMPUTE VAT-AMOUNT =

PRODUCT-COST * VAT-RATE.

COBOL coding sheetCOBOL coding sheet

Almost all COBOL compilers treat a line of COBOL code as if it contained two distinct areas. These are -

AREA A

*) Between Column 8 to 11*) Division, Section, Paragraph names, FD entries & 01 level entries must start in Area A

AREA B

*) Between Column 12 to 72*) All Sentences & Statements start in Area B

COBOL coding rulesCOBOL coding rules

Each line is considered to be made up of 80 columns.

Columns 1 to 6 are reserved for line numbers.Column 7 is an indicator column and has specialmeaning to the compiler.

Asterisk ( * ) indicates commentsHyphen ( - ) indicates continuationSlash ( / ) indicates form feed

Columns 8 to 11 are called Area A. All COBOL DIVISIONs, SECTIONs, paragraphs and some special entries must begin in Area A.

Columns 12 to 72 are called Area B. All COBOL statements must begin in Area B.

Columns 73 to 80 are identification area.

Basic data typesBasic data types

Alphabetic ( A)Numeric( 9)Alphanumeric (X)Edited numeric ( Z, $)Edited alphanumeric(/,-)

Data namesData names

Are named memory locations.

Must be described in the DATA DIVISION before they can be used in the PROCEDURE DIVISION.

Can be of elementary or group type.

Can be subscripted for Arrays.

Are user defined words .

Rules for forming User-defined Rules for forming User-defined wordswords

Can be at most 30 characters in length.

Only alphabets, digits and hyphen are allowed.

Blanks are not allowed.

May not begin or end with a hyphen.

Should not be a COBOL reserved word like ADD,SUBTRACT,MOVE,DISPLAY etc….

Description of data namesDescription of data names

All the data names used in the PROCEDURE DIVISION must be described in the DATA DIVISION.

The description of a data name is done with the aid of the following –

(1) Level number(2) PICTURE clause(3) VALUE clause

99.99◦ PICTURE S9V9 a +ive/-ive ‘real’ in the range ?

If you wish you can use the abbreviation PIC.

Numeric values can have a maximum of 18 (eighteen) digits (i.e. 9’s).

The limit on string values is usually system-dependent.

Declaring DATA in COBOLDeclaring DATA in COBOL

In COBOL a variable declaration consists of a line containing the following items;

ŒA level number. A data-name or identifier.ŽA PICTURE clause.

We can give a starting value to variables by means of an extension to the picture clause called the value clause.

DDATAATA

VALUE clause

Description of data names ..Description of data names ..

Is used to assign an initial value to a elementary data item.

The initial value can be numeric literal, non- numeric literal or figurative constant.

Is an optional clause.

LiteralsLiterals

Literals are symbols whose value does not change in a program.

There are 3 types of literals namely

(1) Numeric literals.

(2) Non-numeric literals.

(3) Figurative constants.

Figurative constants Meaning

ZERO(S) or ZEROES Represents the value 0, one ormore depending on the context

SPACE(S) Represents one or more spaces

HIGH-VALUE(S) Represents the highest value

LOW-VALUE(S) Represents the lowest value

QUOTE(S) Represents single or double quotes

Group and elementary itemsGroup and elementary items

In COBOL the term “group item” is used to describe a data item which has been further subdivided.

◦ A Group item is declared using a level number and a data name. It cannot have a picture clause.

◦ Where a group item is the highest item in a data hierarchy it is referred to as a record and uses the level number 01.

◦ Picture clauses are NOT specified for ‘group’ data items because the size of a group item is the sum of the sizes of its subordinate, elementary items and its type is always assumed to be PIC X.

LEVEL Numbers & DATA LEVEL Numbers & DATA hierarchyhierarchy

In COBOL, Level numbers are used to express data hierarchy. The higher the level number, the lower the item is in the hierarchy.

So Group items contain sets of elementary items with lower level numbers. At the lowest level the data is completely atomic.

MOVE VERBMOVE VERBOverview

The MOVE The MOVE VerbVerb

MOVE copies data from the source identifier or literal to one or more destination identifiers.

MOVE copies data to Group or elementary data items.

MOVE always performs LEFT JUSTIFICATION to Character

MOVE always perform RIGHT JUSTIFICATION to Numeric data.

When data is MOVEd into an item the contents of the item are completely replaced.

◦ If the source data is too small to fill the destination item entirely the remaining area is zero or space filled.

When the destination item is numeric, or edited numeric, then data is aligned along the decimal point with zero filling or truncation as necessary.

When the decimal point is not explicitly specified in either the source or destination items, the item is treated as if it had an assumed decimal point immediately after its rightmost character.

The DISPLAY The DISPLAY VerbVerb

From time to time it may be useful to display messages and data values on the screen.

A simple DISPLAY statement can be used to achieve this.

A single DISPLAY can be used to display several data items or literals or any combination of these.
