COBOL ( / ˈ k oʊ b ɒ l / , an acronym for common business-oriented language ) is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. It is imperative , procedural and, since 2002, object-oriented . COBOL is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. COBOL is still widely used in legacy applications deployed on mainframe computers , such as large-scale batch and transaction processing jobs. But due to its declining popularity and the retirement of experienced COBOL programmers, programs are being migrated to new platforms, rewritten in modern languages or replaced with software packages. [6] Most programming in COBOL is now purely to maintain existing applications. [7] |

COBOL was initially created in 1959 by The Short Range Committee, one of three committees proposed at a meeting held at the Pentagon in May 1959, organized by Charles Phillips of the United States Department of Defense . The Short Range Committee was formed to recommend a short range approach to a common business language. It was made up of members representing six computer manufacturers and three government agencies. In particular, the six computer manufacturers were Burroughs Corporation , IBM , Minneapolis-Honeywell , RCA , Sperry Rand , and Sylvania Electric Products . The three government agencies were the US Air Force , the David Taylor Model Basin , and the National Bureau of Standards . This committee was chaired by a member of the NBS. An Intermediate-Range Committee and a Long-Range Committee were proposed at the Pentagon meeting as well. However although the Intermediate Range Committeee was formed, it was never operational; and the Long-Range Committee was never even formed. In the end a sub-committee of the Short Range Committee developed the specifications of the COBOL language. This sub-committee was made up of six individuals: |
