I am giving a BOF on COBOL and the systems programmer on Thursday, September 24 in the last session period - 16:15 Eastern time zone, 15:15 Central time zone, 14:15, Mountain time zone, 13:15 Pacific time, 17:15 Atlantic time zone in Canada and 17:45 in Newfoundland.
There will be a 10 minute introduction (I timed it). It covers items in the COBOL standard not in Enterprise COBOL that might be of use to your shop, facilities in Enterprise COBOL that your shop may have overlooked, caution on setting defaults, and why standards should be reviewed with each new release. The rest of the session will be devoted to whatever the attendees want to discuss and explore. I have used COBOL to get information from SMF records because it was easier than assembler and my shop didn't have SAS. I have been responsible for review and recommendation of COBOl and LE defaults in 2 different shops. I was active in SHARE starting in 1977 through 2002.
