What is the difference between cobol-74 and cobol-85?

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


What machine was the first Programming languaged developed?

As Ada Lovelace is often credited as the first computer programmer (in 1843, by the way) it would seem fair to credit Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine as the first machine for which a programming language was developed. That said, modern third generation programming languages weren't invented until Grace Murray Hopper designed COBOL in 1959. COBOL was not developed on any machine. It was specified to be machine independent and was simultaneously developed for both IBM and RCA computers in 1960.
