Grace Hopper is known as the Mother of Cobol.
COBOL was originally designed by Grace Hopper and is on of the oldest programming languages. The name stands for Common Business Orientated Language. More information can be found at websites such as Wikipedia.
Unlike COBOL, in C there are no sections and divisions; there are two main state: inside a function and outside of any functions.

COBOL 85 introduced the EVALUATE statement and scope terminators for most statements (e.g., END-READ for READ). It also introduced the ability to pass by content (CALL BY CONTENT).
Dear Sir, Since last 23 years we are using Ms-Cobol Version 2.10 & now we are working on novell 3.11 operating system. but now we are facaing some cricital problem it is as follows: 1. operating system which new cobol will work 2. server so please help us to which operating system we should use for cobol new version thanking you deepak deshmukh
The most important thing here is to know that unix and cobol is a good platform to work in that to with Oracle as the database. The mf cobol is almost a standard cobol that is followed these days, and many banks want to migrate to this version of cobol(as it is perfectly suited to Unix systems) the another version which is quite popular is IBM cobol this one is more popular with the mainframes community since Ibm is the leader here and it was good move to have there own cobol. so if you are assotiated with unix and not with mainframes then mf cobol is suited with u and most of the middle east and European banks are on unix . but if u want to switch to mainframes then go for IBM cobol. A bit of C language knowledge would certainly be a positive point in your resume.
COBOL-85 is a later version of COBOL language. COBOL-85 also known as VS COBOL-II provides more features than COBOL-74. Some of the features of COBOL-85 are: 1. In COBOL-85 we can use following delimiters such as END-IF, END-PERFORM,END-STRING,etc. 2. We can use EVALUATE verb in place of complex IF structures. 3. CALL statement can pass variables by CONTENT and BY reference. In COBOL-74 we can only use pass by reference. 4. A new verb CONTINUE is introduced in order to over come the limitations of NEXT SENTENCE verb. 5. COBOL - 85 supports 32 bit addressing mode. UR'S Rj
The name COBOL is an abbreviation ofCOmmon Business Oriented LanguageWhilst it is primarily used on older mainframe computer systems it can also be used on some other platforms and is still in considerable use today more than 40 years after it was invented. There is a reasonable level of demand by companies for experienced COBOL programmers, particularly for supporting older systems.
No, COBOL is a programming language.

COBOL presents such advantages as easy to maintain, non-proprietary, can run on many hardware platforms and it is easy to understand. The disadvantages include many lines of code to perform one function and it limited to mathematical functions.
