5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive reference of COBOL, databases, VSAM, etc.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cobol Unleashed (Paperback)
This is the most comprehensive COBOL reference that I have seen in my 20 years in the business. I bought it specifically for the IDMS chapter, but it also covers other database types. It is well organized and gets right to the point with code examples and diagrams. If I were to have only one COBOL reference this would be it.

Great IDMS Chapter,
By nwalters@sprynet.com (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cobol Unleashed (Paperback)
This is one of the few books that contains anything about IDMS. All other IDMS books are out of print and hard to find. I authored Chapter 23 - The IDMS Chapter.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great reference on areas of COBOL rarely covered.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cobol Unleashed (Paperback)
Pay attention to where this books says it does not teach programming._ALL_ code examples assume familiarity with COBOL and familiarity with programming. Most are simply free-form code examples designed to inform, not actual programs. As for a reference, if this book missed it, I didn't notice. It's already helped me on a number of issues, including covering why SECTIONs exist (something not even my compiler vendor manuals tackle, and I've certainly never seen anywhere else). I've seen a few typos, but they were obvious (again, you need to be a programmer already to spot this stuff). The CD-ROM has several demo compilers and the code examples from the book. I haven't used any of them, but have read about others liking them. Overall, a good book and a great buy.
