COBOL is believed to be dead. Reality is it is in 92% of strategic enterprise systems and not going away anytime soon. Do you modernize, migrate or stand pat?

COBOL+DB2 applications can either execute a singleton select statement or use the DB2 Cursor to retrieve data from the DB2 database. DB2 Cursor is a mechanism by which you access data row-by-row... buff.ly/3r3PLi8 #db2 #sql #mainframe #db2cursors

The Four Hundred, January 26, 2022 - mailchi.mp/itjungle/the-four… - Is #COBOL on #IBMi Experiencing a Renaissance?; Midrange Optimism for In-Person Events in 2022; Companies Still Grappling with Economic Woes; Listen In To 8th Annual IBM i Marketplace Survey Webcast; IBM i PTF Guide
How much #COBOL code is deployed across multiple platforms? There seems to be a trend of deploying the same application across @IBMZ and another platform like @Microsoft and #cloud.
In terms of where the most Lines of Code live, @IBMZ is the clear winner. This doesn't double count code running on more than one platform. Note that this chart doesn't speak to the trends of where #COBOL will live a few years from now which is likely hybrid.
Mindblown ~800 billion lines of #COBOL code out there. #microsfocus research!

COBOL Inspect Statement is generally used for string manipulation operations. It's used for counting and replacing a character in the string. buff.ly/3nNdmBy #cobol #db2 #mainframe #cics #topictrick
