The sixth course of Manta's new COBOL Programming series is now available. COBOL File Processing covers the statements and techniques used by a COBOL programmer to process IBM i files.

 

The course begins with a review of DB2 concepts, file types, and processing. It then shows how to access a physical or logical data file sequentially in either arrival sequence or key sequence. Direct access is then covered. You will see how to access records using either a record key or a relative record number. In addition to learning the relevant COBOL statements, you will also learn programming techniques for handling file in these ways. The course ends with a discussion of I/O error detection and handling in a COBOL program.

 

As with all Manta courses, a one-year, single-user license for the course is available for $120. The entire series is available for $756.

 

Customer who have an existing license to the IBM i Training Library, the Program Development Combination Pack, or the COBOL Programming Combination Pack will discover that the new course has already been added to their menu options.

 

You can check out the new series by visiting www.mantatech.com, where you can take the first session of any of Manta's 117 courses and Competency Exams, including the new COBOL product.

 

Manta is the premier company in the IBM i training and education business. This year, Manta celebrates its 17th year in business. During that time, it has trained tens of thousands of IBM i students in over 5,000 organizations around the world. It's customer list includes organizations of all sizes, from major companies (including IBM) down to one-person consulting organizations. If you need IBM i training, Manta is the first vendor most often recommended. Because you want quality training for less. Manta's consistently low price has always been a major attraction. For example, a typical company can train its entire IT organization for less than the price of sending a couple of operators to a class. (See "Total Cost Comparision" for a detailed analysis.)
