Book one:

If you are considering this line of work, it is important that you become familiar with what is currently available in the marketplace. While many companies simply want COBOL programmers to write codes that they can use, others will want a variety of specific tasks completed.

If you are looking for a new career and want something that will provide stability, then COBOL programming may be the right path for you.

Book two:

One of the reasons why COBOL programming is preferred over other languages is because of its versatility. COBOL can be used to program just about anything, depending on which library modules are selected for use in a particular program. 

COBOL database interaction is a set of techniques that allow us to interact with databases. COBOL database interaction is used to retrieve, store, and modify specific records in a database table. It is done by modifying row values. This feature of COBOL allows us to perform everyday tasks, such as deleting or updating records in a database table, while restoring the original state of the data after the updated records have been deleted.

Book three:

This book provides basic principles and techniques for writing efficient high-level COBOL programs. It is also a practical guide to developing high-performance applications by optimizing both COBOL code and the application.

The book introduces essential concepts of performance analysis and optimization. It also covers many tools and techniques including some advanced techniques, such as parallelization, multiprocessing, virtual machines, and XML parsing. With the help of hands-on examples, real-world case studies, process maps, and a full-scale application, this book teaches professionals and students alike how to build high-performance applications using the latest techniques.
