I haven't yet use it. I will love it. I have more than 25 years as IT Systems Analyst MAINFRAME, but need to refresh my hands on. thank you thank you. Amazing found that here. Love your numbers in the presentention. PERFECT!
Hey Kumar i'm from Brazil, this video helped me a lot i'm starting to study cobol and i wasn't finding a video teaching to install the compiler,many thanks amigo!
This was a great video, I was able to follow the instructions and downloaded and install OpenCobolIDE onto my window pc, and will be doing the same for my Mac as well. Thanks again for a great presentation.
Wow! Just wow! Wonderful tutorial. Can you please make a video on CA Intertest tool. Unfortunately no one knows much about Intertest tool in my project. And I need to debug a COBOL DB2 program. This would definitely help a lot of people as there is literally not much info about this tool except CA's own website.
Hi Kumar, thanks posting training videos on mainframe. I am requesting you could you please make and post a videos on resume building session and how to kept projects on resume for mainframes.
Can you please let us know how we can analyse COBOL program quickly using any particular tool which represents the control flow graphically when I have only the source code, no copybook, no sub routines only source of a main program.
Yes. COBOL is still widely used. I work for the county and we have 3 COBOL programmers still with is. It is such an old language that many people today don't know or care about it. There is a job for you there if you can learn it, Syntax isn't that hard at all since it based on language. And bonus points if you know C# because many places want to move on from COBOL one day and will need someone to interpret code between the two to migrate. COBOL will be around a while because the process of migrating to a new way of doing things is tedious and dangerous. As a mistake can erase scores of years of tax information and create giant problems. It is just safer to suffer with the older way of things.
@@BloodLegaZ Yes, after 20 years of web programming with C#, ASP.NET and SQL Server, I want to learn COBOL and became a proficient developer in this old language.
Sssh, even CICS actual runs as a “batch” program... and YES back in the 90s I was told that IBM COBOL was “dead” 🤣😂😅 there is no reason to “upgrade” COBOL, too expensive, too long, and that would be like “throwing out” decades of fixing bugs and have retest everything... plus COBOL is a - simple - language and that is its MAJOR VIRTUE! The applications that run are mind bogglingly complex and there is no reason to complicate things even further with less “orthogonal” languages (like JaveScript) when we are talking about - business applications - (that pay the most $$$) 😁
Thanks can you please also show us how to work with Hercules Hercules come with MVS 3.8 and it has something similar to ISPF Very close to real IBM mainframe
Hi! Thank you for your informative videos. Is there a reason why the Google Drive files no longer compile? And/or the highlight preferences stopped working?
I would like to practice Cobol programming with set of data I have in excel file. Is it possible to transfer excel data into Cobol IDE? If yes, is there any tutorial?
Yes, you can download from the IBM Portal. 1) Using Cloud 2) you Can download to your local machine Here is the free trail link www.ibm.com/analytics/db2/trials
Hello Punakrishna, you can purchase the id or you can get one from IBM portal / check of MTM Challenge in ibm portal , you register you would get a id to practice.
Hi kumar, I have downloaded the open COBOL ide 4.7.6 but , not able to compile and run it's showing error GnuCOBOL compiler not found or not working. Can you help me on this. Thanks
VSAM Files would work only on Mainframe Z/OS .. I never tried it on OpenCobolIDE. I don't think it would work, please let me know if you it worked for you!... thank you!
The Y2K problem was really caused by the inability of COBOL to handle date data types. Programmers only used the last 2 digits to represent the year. Another down fall that COBOL allowed programmers to write spaghetti code that was difficult to follow.
While it's true that many Y2K issues stemmed from the use of two-digit year representations, it's not accurate to solely blame COBOL. The two-digit year convention was a widespread practice across various languages and systems, primarily to save storage space when it was expensive. Additionally, while COBOL did not inherently prevent spaghetti code, such coding practices were more a result of programming standards of the time rather than the language itself. Modern COBOL standards and practices have evolved to promote better code clarity and structure.

Noted , Thanks Debasish
Thank you so much. Its use full for me
Hi Vijay, Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure
Thanks I really learn a lot
Thanks I am very interested to learn more about Cobol
Happy to hear that! Please check the below for COBOL

Thanks for providing detail video
My pleasure.
Happy Learning!
Hi Kumar, thanks posting training videos on mainframe. I am requesting you could you please make and post a videos on resume building session and how to kept projects on resume for mainframes.
Thanks for this.May I know how I can ACCEPT values to variables in this IDE(In terminal we have SYSIN IN JCL)
Can you please let us know how we can analyse COBOL program quickly using any particular tool which represents the control flow graphically when I have only the source code, no copybook, no sub routines only source of a main program.
Thanks Kumar :)
Sir, can you recommend some useful COBOL books for newcomers? Thanks!
can you please make a video on how to set up the emulator
KUMAR garu my project on screen cobol library management system can u help me on this did you have any idea about that
Is it a good choiche learn Cobol in 2021 for job purpose?

Hiii sir if we want to use file or sub program or if we want to give value at run time this IDE will work out can you please tell me
can you do file manipulation there?
thank you
Thanks bro
Aws classes please , if you do Aws then it will be very helpful in this lock down
Thanks Pavan, Will try to make it sometime later. Let me know if your looking for any specific topics.

Is there debugger in OpenCobol ?
Thanks can you please also show us how to work with Hercules
Hercules come with MVS 3.8 and it has something similar to ISPF
Very close to real IBM mainframe
Hi! Thank you for your informative videos. Is there a reason why the Google Drive files no longer compile? And/or the highlight preferences stopped working?
It won't support complex file logic comprising multiple files, we can perform basic tasks though.
can you also make a video how to install emulator if any available
I would like to practice Cobol programming with set of data I have in excel file. Is it possible to transfer excel data into Cobol IDE? If yes, is there any tutorial?
Can we add jcl code in this application ??
If so where we have to add ?
Identification division to procedured division will come by default or we have written in mainframes
Hello Pavan, We have to manually write on IBM Mainframe.
How can I run the COBOL program from windows cmd? is there any way?
Thanks for the video. Do you need to have GNU Cobol installed separately or does automatically get installed with the IDE installation? Thanks.
Need to Install GNU Cobol for a better results
Hi sir good evening I need to write alphabets in English sequentially what is logic please...
i have installed it but not able to compile the program
Hi Kummar thanks for your help, do you know some way to practicing db2 or jcl?
For DB2 you can download from the IBM portal and practice it.. Let me plan one video that shows how to practice db2
How to open the cobol program
Thanks a lot for Information on COBOL IDE. Is there any ways this program uses any pc SQL ? Thanks in advance
DB2 Express C version can be installed in PC
Yes, you can download from the IBM Portal.
1) Using Cloud
2) you Can download to your local machine

HI KUMAR , do you know any ide to practice jcl,vsam,rexx, ,can you please share if you know ,i want to learn jcl,proc,rexxx,vsam etc
Hello Punakrishna, you can purchase the id or you can get one from IBM portal / check of MTM Challenge in ibm portal , you register you would get a id to practice.
Could you make a playlist on COBOL for absolute beginners using Visual Studio Code Kumar? Could be very useful.
Will do soon
Thanks for sharing. Very nice one.
What different exestions (.cbl, .cob) refers to?
Hello Darwin, Both are same, you can give any extension.
Hi kumar, I have downloaded the open COBOL ide 4.7.6 but , not able to compile and run it's showing error GnuCOBOL compiler not found or not working.
Can you help me on this.
Thanks
You need to download the GnuCobol Compiler and install on your machine.
can we run indexed file in OpenCobolIDE
VSAM Files would work only on Mainframe Z/OS .. I never tried it on OpenCobolIDE. I don't think it would work, please let me know if you it worked for you!... thank you!

Sir I'm not abel to run cobol in sysload lib
Check if you have your program in your loadlib.
Will it support input files????if not is there any source that we can get... thanks in advance 👍
Yes you can map the input text files and try.
