COBOL II Articles, Books, Manuals, Reports

 > COBOL II (Hardcover)
This book is a must for COBOL programmers who have used VS COBOL, basic COBOL II, or COBOL II Release 2 and would like to learn more about COBOL II including Release 3. Harvey Bookman (Author)
 > Compiling VS COBOL II programs
It contains key compiler options for VS COBOL II programs. The Enterprise COBOL and VS COBOL II compilers are similar. If you will be using the same compiler options that are specified in your current VS COBOL II applications.
 > Considerations for VS COBOL II Programs
Language Environment® provides support for the execution of programs compiled by the VS COBOL II compiler. The native runtime library for this compiler is not supported. For detailed information on migrating VS COBOL II programs to Language Environment support, see the Enterprise COBOL for z/OS®: Compiler and Run-Time Migration Guide.
 > HP COBOL II/XL Reference Manual
Hewlett-Packard's COBOL II is based on ANSI COBOL as specified in the American[REV BEG] National Standard Programming Language COBOL (ANSI X3.23a-1989).
 > Support for VS COBOL II
In CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 3 Release 1, applications compiled with a VS COBOL II compiler execute using the Language Environment runtime library routines. The native runtime library provided with VS COBOL II is not supported.
 > VS COBOL II A Guide for Programmers and Managers, Second Edition
This book is a VS COBOL II guide for programmers and managers. Anne Prince (Author)
 > VS COBOL II Application Programming Guide
This manual helps you to create VS COBOL II programs; analyze and modify existing COBOL programs; and compile, link-edit, and execute VS COBOL II programs under MVS or CMS.
 > VS COBOL II Application Programming Language Reference
This manual presents the format of the VS COBOL II language and the rules for writing source programs for the VS COBOL II compiler.
 > VS COBOL II Grammar Version 1.0.4
This grammar has been been recovered from IBM's VS COBOL II Reference Summary (Document Number: SX26-3721-05) in a semi-automatic, formal process. The VS COBOL II grammar should be regarded as a specification (of context-free syntax + lexical syntax) rather than a realistic parser + scanner description.
 > VS COBOL II: Highlights and Techniques (Paperback)
This book shows you why IBM released VS COBOL II. It will also show you how to put VS COBOL II to work. James G. Janossy (Author)
