Course Modules

This comprehensive course is divided into three modules, each focusing on different aspects of COBOL, including numeric usage, structured programming, and table handling, among others. Students will engage in hands-on demonstrations, quizzes, and lab sessions to reinforce their learning.

Numeric Usage Types, Editing, and Branching

This module provides a comprehensive introduction to COBOL's numeric usage types, editing, and branching. Students will explore the fundamentals of numeric data, conditional logic, and combined conditions, culminating in a hands-on lab session and a graded quiz to test their understanding.

Structured Programming, Testing, Debugging, and Reports

Structured programming, testing, debugging, and reporting take center stage in this module. Participants will delve into structured COBOL, testing and debugging techniques, generating COBOL reports, and calling programs. The module concludes with a hands-on demonstration and a review session to solidify the learning.

Table Handling, Sorting, and Intrinsic Functions

In this final module, students will master table handling, sorting, and intrinsic functions in COBOL. Through hands-on demonstrations and a graded quiz, learners will gain proficiency in manipulating tables, sorting data, and leveraging intrinsic functions to process and calculate data effectively.
