Sunny,
 
If you have a license and support for 'Synon' Computer Associates has all of
the documentation on their website.  I think it includes the original horse
tutorial.   
www.ca.com <http://www.ca.com> 
http://customerconnect.ca.com/ <http://customerconnect.ca.com/> 
their documents are in the support connect section.

Sunny: 

Synon has been rebranded several times as it moved from a Synon to a 
part of Sterling to now part of CA. CA is the current owner and they 
call the product AllFusion. 

If you are maintaining an application, there should documentation for 
the tool somewhere. It helps to know what it was called when the site 
used it. It has been known as Cool and Advantage, too. 

There are also mostly empty Wikis about AllFusion Plex (Obsydian) and 
AllFusion 2E. I don't think there's a bunch of free resources on 
AllFusion. Otherwise, Hawkbridge sells training for AllFusion. 

If you are creating an application from scratch, there are other 
application tools you can look at that have a less steep learning curve 
and are cheaper also, but are less capable. Most of them are RPG based. 
These tools can help you produce a nice application quickly. 

If you really want (or need) a COBOL tool, try to find Easy Tool Kit or 
ETK (by Leif Svalgaard among others). This is a great tool. You can 
develop on a PC and push the application to any platform. Or develop on 
the System i and deploy it to a Unix. There is a tool called Libero by 
iMatix that is derived from ETK that you can look at too. 

The IBM Information Center has advanced information on SQL and COBOL. 
There are books and other internet resources for both SQL and COBOL on 
the System i.
