Answer» Hi there!
WORKED as a Cobol programmer for 10 years. Gave up my career due to poor health and haven’t looked at any coding for 12 years or more. I have no idea what people use these days.
Would now like to write a SIMPLE PROGRAM for use on my PC. I use Windows XP.
I want a simple data INPUT program, a simple sorting and processing program and a report-writing program. Database will be quite large.
Don’t want to incur too much expense.
Which languages are most recommended? Are they easy to learn? What about editors and compilers? Where do I get them? How much do they cost? Should I just find an old and free Cobol compiler?
All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Best WISHES from Michael.
