RE: Basic Cobol

[Andrew Borts <andrewb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Um - Why?

Cobol 400 is neat because PIX statements are brought in from external 
files, so TONS of coding saved.  There is a special way of coding that to 
pick up the external definition.  One thing, I've not touched this in about 
10 years - you'll have to play with it, if you have a Cobol compiler.

Sorry there isn't more info in my "pweety widdle head"

  I am an RPG developer and I have not used COBOL in the past. Can anyone 
tell me how to write a basic COBOL program. An example would be how to 
compile a COBOL program that uses a physical or logical file. Thanks.
