This is the first book to cover IBM's newest version of COBOL--COBOL 370. Kirk shows programmers how to use this new version of COBOL to develop applications and access a compiler from either a programmable workstation or a mainframe. The book describes a range of techniques and also explores non-COBOL topics such as compile options, JCL, and performance issues.

Here's a comprehensive and useful book on CICS for COBOL programmers at all levels. Kirk focuses on techniques, structures, and style. If your're new to CICS, use this book as a CICS tutorial and then, as you gain mastery of CICS, as a handy desk reference. CICS pros can use it for review and reference, and for guidance in migrating to COBOL II.
