The sample programs, which are
included on your product tape, demonstrate many language elements
and concepts of COBOL.
This information contains the following items:
- Overview of the programs, including program charts for two of
the samples
- Format and sample of the input data
- Sample of reports produced
- Information about how to run the programs
- List of the language elements and concepts that are
illustrated
Pseudocode and other comments about the programs are included in
the program prologue, which you can obtain in a program
listing.
There are three sample programs:
- IGYTCARA is an example of using QSAM files and VSAM indexed
files, and shows how to use many COBOL intrinsic functions.
- IGYTCARB is an example of using IBM Interactive System Product
Facility (ISPF).
- IGYTSALE is an example of using several of the features of the
