I used to think that COBOL was old hat unitl I actually had to use it
for a project during my degree. I was very impressed with its simmple
syntax and easy data handling, but I haven't come across a better
database handling language than another one which I had to use at
University - RPG, it is just a pity that OS/400 is so cryptic ;-)
