    What is COBOL

    COBOL, which stands for Common Business-Oriented Language, is a programming language designed for business applications. It has been used extensively for decades, particularly in industries like finance, government, and healthcare.

    Despite being considered a legacy language, COBOL remains important today because many critical systems rely on it. These systems are often complex and deeply ingrained in their respective organizations, making complete replacement costly and risky.

    Here are some key characteristics of COBOL:

    • Readability: COBOL is known for its English-like syntax, making it easier to understand, even for those who are not programmers.
    • Stability: COBOL is a highly stable language, with programs written decades ago still functioning reliably today.
    • Data Handling: It is good at handling large volumes of data, making it suitable for financial transactions and record-keeping.

    While newer languages have emerged, COBOL's strengths keep it in demand. This demand has led to renewed interest in COBOL professionals who can maintain, update, and work with these essential systems.
