There's DB2, and then there's IMS-DB/DC... COBOL itself isn't too difficult to pick up, its the rest of the infrastructure around it. JCL is particularly unforgiving. I'm in total agreement with the parent post of this thread. I think the thing that bugged me the most about COBOL is the difference between END-IF. and END-IF Everything else was onerous compared to other languages but relatively straightforward. It's not something to get a simple job done quickly in though. The simplicity created by things largely remaining the same over time in mainframe world is one of its core strengths. |
