People who are learning COBOL can come and post what they have learned today.. Eg: I have learnt COBOL has 4 main DIVISIONS... Keep posting like this. Let us make it easy to learn COBOL.

CapeTownProgrammer Look for Cobol To C on the internet for some ideas. You need to Use LEX and a Grammer to load your program into a proper symbol table. Then Generate the New Source from the Symbol Table. May not look much like Java when you are done. Good luck with the...
