Discover COBOL's structured programming and English-like syntax that make code easy to understand and maintain. See how it handles millions of instructions per second on IBM machines.
Declare variables in the working story section of COBOL's data divisions. Follow naming rules: 1-30 alphanumeric characters, start with a letter, no spaces or reserved words or special characters.
Discover how the 77 level number functions as a special type for independent data in real time on the mainframe, used to store raw number sequences, counters, or column numbers.
Explore the string statement in COBOL to concatenate first and last names into a single customer name, using delimiter by size and a pointer to start at the fifth position.
Learn about level number 88 in COBOL, a special low level number used with 0–49 or 77 values to simplify multiple condition checks via if and evaluate statements, improving readability.
Learn to work with COBOL arrays from one to three dimensions by declaring occurs, using subscripts, and storing month, week, and day data with practical bank and timing examples.
Learn how to perform a linear search in a mainframe cobol table, scanning customer records by name or account number, and display matches or no records found.
The lecture shows updating an employee salary in a COBOL file: open for input, locate by id, add ten thousand, and rewrite the record.
Demonstrate calling a subprogram from a main COBOL program, passing actual and formal parameters by reference or by value, and illustrate how the linking section connects them.
Explore internal and external sorting in COBOL, detailing ascending and descending keys, input and output files, work areas, and the merge of two inputs into a sorted output.
Explore mainframe COBOL ESDS file read and write, demonstrating reading from an input file, copying records to an output file, and handling fixed 48-byte records, record structures, and file status.
Explore ESDS COBOL programming and ESD file transfer, compare random access data with sequential record keeping, and apply the related logic as practiced in this session.
First I would like to thank you! on landing on to this Course and Congratulations for opting this course.
Here I'm going to explain the IBM Mainframe classes in a very simple way with a practical oriented Sessions. I have tried my best! to cover all different topics that are being used in the Real time which makes you a feel like a class room session and I hope you will enjoy this journey on learning of the Mainframe Course with in a couple of days .
This course is intended for all the levels that can be starting from a Student or Fresher who is just passed out from his graduation or the people who have joined their carrier as Mainframe Developer or people who want to refresh or Upgrade there skill set on mainframe.
Yes, you are in a right! place on selecting this course and I will be available to address all your queries, support and guide in all the ways that i can during this course of journey.
One and only motive is to teach the Mainframe in a Very simple way.
