This is a summary of recent activity, trends, and issues in the blog world:
iSeries COBOL Blog - The Ultimate iSeries COBOL Site
There are few iSeries COBOL sites on the web. The purpose of
my site is to help the newer generation of COBOL programmers.
Most of the people requesting my assistance want to become
better programmers.
EDS' Next Big Thing Blog : The EDS Fellows discuss the future of technology.
The intersection of sixty-year old Cobol baby boomers and a forty-year
old computer architecture. In other words, programmers around the world
have been creating a legacy of mission critical business applications,
under the same standard language and architecture for over forty years.
COBOL versus Java and C#
Given that COBOL can be compiled to run on Windows, Unix and Linux servers,
so why isn't more of that occurring? Why are so many perfectly good COBOL
applications being ported to Java or C#? What's the business case for this?
What's the COBOL programming case?

News Articles
> Don't Give Up On COBOL!
Don't give up on COBOL before you at least try writing one computer
software program as intended and envisioned by the prestigious
COBOL committee.
> Application Development Framework Extending COBOL with .Net
This whitepaper sets out the complexity of OO COBOL in
the Microsoft .Net environment and describes a solution to
(mainframe) developers for gaining proficiency in development
of .Net applications without the fuzz of the over one year
learning curve Gartner describes.
> Software conversion times drop from seven hours to 70 minutes
Previously Health Benefits Association (HBA) was using two programming
languages, Easytrieve and Micro Focus COBOL.
HBA needed to standardise its system platforms and the initial
problem was finding an efficient method to convert Easytrieve to
Micro Focus COBOL. Mergilent's automated system for testing and
converting the software provided HBA with a solution that had
minimal impact on existing systems and resources.
> DB2 and CICS Are Moving On: Avoiding Potholes on the Yellow Brick Road to an LE Migration
With the announcement of CICS TS V3.1 and DB2 V8, customers
who aren't already running their applications under the Language
Environment (LE) run-time library will need to perform a
run-time migration, and probably compiler migrations, too.
> Micro Focus Buys COBOL App Modernization Rival Acucorp
By eating Acucorp, Micro Focus has been able to eliminate a rival,
leaving former mainframe supplier Fujitsu as the sole large company
supplying COBOL environments for Windows, Unix, and Linux platforms.
