I have COBOL For Dummies as an introduction but I see it didn't get very good reviews on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/COBOL-Dummies-Arthur-Griffith/dp/0764502980/ref=pd_bbs_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196322420&sr=8-4 You can also download IBM's manuals here. http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobol/zos/library/ Fujitsu COBOL manuals here http://www.adtools.com/download/index.htm The 2002 standard is available here (draft close to final version) http://www.ncits.org/tc_home/j4htm/cd18all.pdf or you can buy a copy (expensive) - I have a copy of the ANSI 85 cobol standard. More links here http://www.theamericanprogrammer.com/programming/manuals.cobol.shtml and on google. The newsgroup comp.lang.cobol is pretty supportive too. http://www.theamericanprogrammer.com/programming/manuals.cobol.shtml Available via http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.cobol/topics Regards, Tim Josling On Wed, 2007-11-28 at 09:44 -0600, Tom Browder wrote: > I haven't worked with COBOL for twenty years.
