Cobol reference

2008-10-21 Thread Bill Klein 
Howard,
  I don't know what release you want, but I tend to keep bunches of them.

Most recent - Enterprise COBOL V4R1
  http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/Shelves/igy3sh40

Last Version 3 URL
  http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/IGY3SH33

These are BookManager versions.  If you WANT PDF versions, I have some of
those too and can post them as well

I had not found that link, but I'll still have to do some more
searching to find the language reference manual.

I don't know about anyone else, but I always start at the "z/OS Internet
Library" here:

http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/

Then go to the "z/OS software products Book" link here:

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zapplsbooks.html

Then for COBOL you have to remember it is named "Enterprise COBOL" and
go to the *second* set of shelves and books, "z/OS software products:
DB2 V7 - NCP V7R7 bookshelf - 481 books".  Then scroll down to
Enterprise COBOL (3.4 or 4.1, your choice).  We're at 3.4, so I wind up
here:

I use the LibraryCenter for my version of z/OS available from
<http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/>.  If you click on your
version of z/OS you get a two-pane browser window with a Java applet running
in the left pane that acts as an index or table of contents.  The most
