COBOL

MGT Computer Solutions >> Services >> Custom Programming >> COBOL

COBOL will long be a vital language to the world's business community. There is simply too much COBOL in use for it to go away any time soon.

There are mature, reliable COBOL compilers for the PC that can make legacy code executable on a new platform after reasonable conversion. These new dialects of the versatile COBOL language extend it in ways that keep it functional and modern.

Most COBOL problems are caused by assumptions made about the data. COBOL's flexibility in this area makes it vulnerable to a number of strategic errors. For example, the unhappy conjunction of (1) COBOL's vast popularity (making it the largest portion of the world's business code base) and (2) COBOL's ability to process dates that are stored in 2-digit year format contributed mightily to the Year 2000 problem.

Let our 20+ years of experience with large COBOL projects help you make the most of your programming investment.
