Hi Guys.I am a new member.I tried searching for stuff on COBOL but drew a blank here.
I am therefore calling upon those of you who know COBOL to contribute something.I in the meanwhile am coming up with something too.

Most of us are coding for PCs rather than ancient mainframes. I'm sure there're loads of resources you can find if you try google, but COBOL isn't exactly what I'd call a young programmers' language.
Here's some code:- http://scis.acast.nova.edu/~jclevin/COURSE/COBOL/demo02.html - doesn't seem all that pretty to me.

I dunno... I always thought COBOL was a really math oriented language, but I wouldn't know. I can't find stuff either...
