 CONTENT AND OBJECTIVES:
    1. Foundation and Concepts
      • Compile and run a program.
      • Read and locate error messages.
      • Code, compile, and test a program.
      • Examine code with minor errors; repair the errors.
    2. Identification and Environment Divisions
      • Use a COPY command to insert COBOL source at compile time.
    3. Data Division
      • Code a program to display date, character, and numeric data.
      • The instructor will provide a COPYBOOK containing a set of data fields. Code a program to print and carry out field manipulation.
    4. Procedure Division - Part 1
      • Use of conditional statements for changing report output.
      • Code a simple I/O report program.
      • Given an input dataset, read all the data, and print a simple multi-page report.
    5. Procedure Division - Part 2
      • Given a poorly designed program, identify the problems with the program and generate a list of associated fixes.
      • Use the EVALUATE statement. Given a program with associated values, the program will execute logic for each valid value and error logic for an invalid value.
      • Code logic with the INITIALIZE statement.
      • Use system and character manipulation functions.
      • Formatting dates and Social Security numbers.
    6. Table Handling
      • Create a table accessed from a subscript.
      • Create a table accessed from an index.
      • Search a table with the SEARCH and SEARCH ALL commands.
      • Code and test a program that searches a table with an index, uses a sequential search with the SEARCH command, and performs a binary search with a SEARCH ALL command.
    7. Internal Sort
      • Sort a file and produce a summary report.
    8. Compilation
      • Locate compile and run-time errors.
    9. Debugging
      • Given a program, locate and fix all the compiler and logic errors.
    10. Related Programs and Subprograms
      • Code and test subroutines.
      • Given an algorithm, code the routines, and pass data to and from the routine.
      • Complete the exercise with a nested program.
