This report describes the results of a survey of 1,000 multinational corporations undertaken in 1992 which asked about the importance of environmental issues in investment decisions. The survey shows that most large corporations look systematically at environmental questions when they decide where to invest. Environmental problems appear to have discouraged a number of investments across different industries and the question of liability for past pollution problems at industrial sites was the greatest concern for investors.

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.

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.
