摘要：In this era of Web-centric languages such as .NET and Java for modern programming needs such as mobile apps and the Web, many university Computerand Information Systems departmentshave discontinued teaching the COBOL language.However, even though some noncore COBOL applications are moving off the mainframe to distributed computing platforms, those COBOLbatch and transaction processing programs on the mainframe represent an enormous investment.In a recent Computerworld survey, of 357 IT professionals, 46% of the respondents said they are already noticing a Cobol programmer shortage, while 50% said the average age of their Cobol staff is 45 or older and 22% said the age is 55 or older[10].This paperexplains what Information Technologymanagers from industry, IBM,and one University Computer and Information Systemsdepartment is doingto manage the loss of mainframeprogramming skills, with a specific focus on the Enterprise Information System programing skillset of COBOL programmers
