Now you will NEVER forget the four divisions in a COBOL program. Identification, Environment, Data Division and Procedure. The first is kinda sorta like an H-spec in a way, almost. The Environment tells your compiler what Environment you are running on. (Source Machine etc). Data defines all you Data, like I-specs and D-specs and procedure does the work in a lovely free format style (almost, there are some columns involved). But my vision of hell is up to your waist in boiling manure while writing endless COBOL programs. So good luck.

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.
