compiler was the best thing about the book
I do not think this book is good for self study. The computer tutorial was slow and the text was not clear on several critical areas like using tables.

The teaching style of the book is better suited to Eastern Bloc students than Americans. I write this as a former cobol instructor.

This review is from: The Revolutionary Guide to Cobol With Compiler (Paperback)

It discussed in depth many features that are either obsolete or not implemented in the included compiler. Also, I would have liked to seen a discussion on how the compiler handles the SCREEN SECTION and trapping of function keys. However, the included compiler is great tool to use to learn the language and is worth the cost of the book alone.

I think that this book is good for anyone who knows Cobol. This book is a great refresher for what you have previously learned. Great Syntax Help.
