Nobody has mentioned much about COBOL. Depending on what the OP wants to learn, and his home system. He might be interested in GNU COBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL) at http://www.opencobol.org . Or, perhaps even more so, zCOBOL, at http://www.z390.org/zcobol/ . zCOBOL runs on Linux and Windows. It is very similar to z/OS Enterprise COBOL, a good way to learn COBOL on the cheap (only costs $0.00!). But Wait! There's More! It also comes with a CICS emulator as well. Now what would you expect to pay?!? It's still the low, low cost of $0.00!
What's the catch? It's written in Java. So you do need to have Java installed on your desktop. However, I personally rather like Java. I also enjoy hitting myself in the head with a nurf hammer. <grin/> On Mon, Dec 30, 2013 at 6:37 AM, Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.) < shmuel+ibm-m...@patriot.net> wrote: > In <8988413032026434.wa.herowith.zerogmail....@listserv.ua.edu>, on > 12/28/2013 > at 08:28 AM, Rajesh Kumar <herowith.z...@gmail.com> said: > > >I need a good tutorial for rexx and cobol. > > REXX Reference Summary Handbook, ISBN 0-9639854-2-6 > > REXX in 21 Days > > Both out of print, alas. > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
