Description

Inspired by the "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White--in that the authors address those COBOL programmers who similarly value rigor, conciseness, and clarity when writing carefully constructed, readable programs. The proverbs are a set of simple guidelines, as an easier way to learn good programming. While rules of style do restrict the programmer, they also enable programmers to focus creativity on the deeper issues in programming. This book is designed as a guide to better COBOL programming, especially for those programmers who have an interest in improving software quality.
