COBOL language

All pages of this web-site can be completely downloaded as documentation -
see here.
This concept is connected with the idea of using MX COBOL as the tool
to obtain the basic skills in COBOL programming.
Therefore there are some formats, clauses, statements and phrases which are not
described.
To obtain the knowledge of the whole "COBOL World"
are some links
to the main providers on-line documentation and other information sources incorporated.
The author of this site deals with the COBOL language
more than 36 years as programmer
but his mother tongue is Czech and knowledge of active English is not perfect.
Therefore he will be very grateful for all remarks to improve the presented texts.
In the same way all comments, suggestions or questions concern
technical content will be welcomed.
And finally there is the kindly possibility here to thank to my wife for the patience
with this and the others similar activities of mine.
