Overview

Delegates will learn to use all aspects of the COBOL language, along with the required SCL and Data Dictionary usage to input, compile, test and debug programs in a VME Environment.

Audience

This course is for applications developers required to write, maintain or support VME COBOL applications. It is also suitable for staff requiring a COBOL refresher course, or those who are unfamiliar with the VME system.

Prerequisites

This is an intensive course where delegates should be computer professionals with an aptitude for programming. Experience with another programming language would be beneficial but not essential. Delegates who are very new to IT should consider the more comprehensive, leisurely paced COBOL for VME superNOVA.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
