The idea of Object-oriented COBOL may seem like the ultimate oxymoron to many who have briefly studied COBOL, only to move on to favorites such as PASCAL, C, or C++. Now comes a new breed of COBOL, with objects and many of the familiar...

  Reengineering Cobol with objects
Levey R., McGraw-Hill, Inc., Hightstown, NJ, 1996.  Type: Book (9780070377745)
