RE: Learning COBOL/400

There are programming guides and reference manuals for COBOL at the iSeries 
Infocenter. Go to: 
        http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/index.htm

and look under Programming > COBOL in the menu on the left side of the page. 
You can download these documents in PDF format.

The WDSCi help section also has a COBOL reference guide. Open 'Help Contents', 
go to 'iSeries programming information', and expand 'High-level languages' to 
see the COBOL section.

If you're coding COBOL in WDSCi, you can also double-click on a COBOL keyword, 
then press F1, and WDSCi will open the COBOL reference manual to the page 
containing the keyword.

Finally, there is a COBOL400-L list, similar to this list, where you can ask 
questions of other COBOL400 programmers. See 
http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/cobol400-l for more info or to 
subscribe.

Hope this helps,
Kelly

Hello Group,

 

My back ground is in RPG/400 programming. Now for my next assignment I
will be working in cobol/400.Could you please suggest me some good
books, tutorials on the net, links for a beginner?

 

I have been recommended "Programming Subfiles in Cobol/400" by "Jerry
Goldson" and the cobol/400 book by Nancy Stern.

 

Please let me have your opinions and suggestions. Thanks for the help.

 

Regards

Chandra Sekhar
