Your ambition should be to be like COBOL. Solid, reliable , pervasive , persistent and irreplaceable. This 58 year old language refuses to die. Learn this language to be guaranteed a job for another few decades. According to research, up to 850 billion lines of COBOL code are currently running in nearly 30,000 organizations, typically in critical production environments. 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on it. An estimated 43% of banking systems and 95% of ATM swipes utilize COBOL code. Thirty-four percent of coding activities are in COBOL. Seventy-five percent of the world's business data resides on mainframe systems

WHY I LEARNED COBOL? IT'S THE HOSTTEST COMMODITY IN THE 70s. IT'S COBOL THAT LET ME HIRED AT STATE FUND 40 YEARS AGO. I APPLIED FOR THE COBOL POSITION AS STAFF PROGRAMMER/ANALYST AND I GOT THE OFFER AND WORKED ON COBOL-II CONVERSION PROJECT AND EPAYROLL AS PROJECT MANAGER THE SAME TIME. I WORKED WITH PL/I AT UCSF AND COBOL TOO. I WORKED WITH RPG-II AT GLOBAL ASSOCIATES IN OAKLAND AFTER I TOOK THE CLASS. I ALSO WORKED WITH ASSEMBLER MACRO FOR CICS, IMS AND DB2. I WORKED WITH ADPAC PROGRAMMING SIMILAR TO ASSEMBLER LANGUAGE. YOU WILL NEVER RAN OUT OF JOBS IF YOU KNEW COBOL I TOLD MYSELF...:-) I ASKED MYSELF A QUESTION WHEN I START TO WORK WITH COBOL. WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE THAT THE COMPUTER SPEAKS UNTIL I RETIRED? LEARNING COBOL IS LIKE LEARNING ENGLISH. YOU WILL NOT GET ENGLISH OBSOLETE EVEN IN THE NEXT CIVILIZATIONS. YOU WILL NEVER FIND AN ARTIFACT CALLED COBOL IN OUR CIVILIZATIONS. COBOL IS EASY TO ME BECAUSE MY BACKGROUND IS ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL ...:-)

The COBOL DB2 Compilation Process involves several steps such as DB2 Precompilation Process, DB2 Precompiler, and DB2 Coprocessor. These processes are essential for integrating COBOL programs with DB2 databases efficiently. The DB2 Precompilation Process helps in converting embedded SQL statements in COBOL programs into standard DB2 calls. The DB2 Precompiler is responsible for checking the syntax of SQL statements and generating the necessary code for interaction with the DB2 database. The DB2 Coprocessor handles the communication between the COBOL program and the DB2 database, ensuring seamless data retrieval and manipulation. Overall, these processes play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth functioning of COBOL applications that interact with DB2 databases.

The COBOL DB2 Compilation Process is an important step in developing applications that utilize the DB2 database system. It involves several components, including the DB2 Precompiler and the DB2 SQL Coprocessor. These tools work together to prepare COBOL programs for execution with DB2, by generating optimized SQL statements and integrating them into the COBOL code. The DB2 precompilation process ensures that the COBOL program can interact seamlessly with the DB2 database, providing efficient and reliable data access. Link: https://buff.ly/4b3lnt8 #COBOL #DB2

17 years in COBOL and many more to come! Until couple of years ago I was worried about the future of COBOL so I learned Python and C(hash) but I've never used it in my job except for my last project for short span of time. I stopped worrying about the COBOL future many years ago when I very realised that many companies, banks, institutions, etc are so bound to it that it probably will survive to us too. So now I feel relaxed and comfortable knowing that the clients will need me more and more for many years again. I know that the request is decreasing day by day but those clients will hardly replace the Mainframe with other system (based on my experience for insurance providers organisation). The cost would be incredibly bigger than the benefits. The unique strategy they could use to replace the Mainframe is to set a parallel system where to put the new system and continue to use the old one until the whole data will be totally migrated to the new system. This will require years of efforts. In the meantime they must pray for the new system stability, performances and security. I attended a couple of projects which attempted to replace the Mainframe but all failed miserably just after few years. So don't worry - keep writing and loving COBOL at your best !!
