Cobol isn't to bad at all. I've went through the beginner classes about a year ago. There's for sections to work with that I know of. I can't remember right now since it's been a while but it's all a procedure driven application. You define the procedures, then call them as you need them. YOu also define your data input and output which is probably the hardest part of it all. Just pay attention and remember you quotation.

I took some cobol classes a while back when I was in college along with Fortran classes. I don't remember much of it.

Just to be curious, what are you taking cobol classes? This language isn't used much anymore.
