Description
This book addresses the debugging problems facing practising COBOL programmers. It describes proven techniques for detecting common bugs and how to fix them. The book is a manual for all COBOL programmers wishing to minimize maintenance time and costs. The book describes the debugging capabilities of the ANSI DEBUG module and the IBM VS COBOL II COBTEST module; a floppy disk and an appendix on CARE programs are included to allow readers to implement diagnostic techniques using the floppy disk included in the book. The author provides readers with specific diagnostic techniques to determine what caused a program to fail, explains how to re-establish the environment in which the program failed, and gives readers specific diagnostic techniques to determine what caused the program failure.
