Unlike COBOL, in C there are no sections and divisions; there are two main state: inside a function and outside of any functions.
1-6 sequence numbers. 7 (*) for comment (-) for continue (D) for debugging. 8-11 called as Area-A in this Area we can write Divisions,Paragraphs,sections,Level numbers. 12-72 called as Area-B in this area we can write cobol executable statements like select,accept,display. 73-80 is ignored area by compiler but we can see in source Listing.
COBOL, the COmmon Business Oriented Language, is considered one of the forerunners of modern programming. Designed in the 1950s, it was considered the most advanced language of its time. It was commonly programmed on punch cards, which were in common use before disk storage as an input medium for stored procedures. It also had constructs considered revolutionary at that time, including self-modifying code.
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.

COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language. It is the programming language used on computers for the purpose of business.
COBOL's Full form is Common Business Oriented Language. Editer is Grace Hopper. Introduced in 1959.
COBOL (common business-oriented language) is an operating system.
COBOL is used primarily in business applications such as Accounting, Payrolls, Accounts Receivable and Payable. It's name gives that away, viz: COBOL is short for Common Business Oriented Language.
