摘要:The COBOL programming language has been considered by many to be cumbersome and outmoded nearly since its inception. Many replacement languages have been suggested, without success over the years. However, its predicted demise seems to finally be occurring, at least in many schools of business. This paper uses secondary sources to determine if the near-death of COBOL in the information systems curricula is a rejection of its inability to meet current business needs and therefore its diminishing use in industry.
