My mom asked me this because this is what she learned in school and I told her I would find an answer. Do people still use fortran or COBOL and if so for what?

We have some COBOL programs running on our mainframe and we need one of those to communicate with our back end vault through a Java API. Is there any way a Cobol program can invoke the Java program?
Would it be possible to use a Web Service from Cobol? How would I integrate a Cobol program with anything…

People,
My team is just beginning to learn how to use COBOL on Eclipse (as part of the Rational Developer for System Z package) and one of our most desired features are code templates or code snippets.
What we'd like to have is a code completion based on snippets just like we have on Java. For…

Hello.
I would like informations to manipulate tables.
I encounter few problem with a piece of cobol code like below:
01 TABLE-1.
05 STRUCT-1 OCCURS 25 TIMES.
10 VALUE-1 PIC AAA.
10 VALUE-2 PIC 9(5)V999.
05 NUMBER-OF-OCCURS PIC 99.
How do you update values? (update…

I'm starting to learn about COBOL. I have some experience writing programs that deal with sql databases and I guess I'm confused how cobol stores and retrieves data that is stored in a mainframe for example. I know that it's not like relational databases but every example program I've seen takes data…

Hi folks,
Summing up, my problem consists on compiling g95 objects inside a C++ application.
Actually, I'm constructing an interface for an old fortran program.
For this task, I'm using the wxWidgets GUI library, and calling fortran subroutines when necessary.
At the beginning, I was developing the…

I'm going through a Fortran code, and one bit has me a little puzzled.
There is a subroutine, say
SUBROUTINE SSUB(X,...)
REAL*8 X(0:N1,1:N2,0:N3-1),...
...
RETURN
END
Which is called in another subroutine by:
CALL SSUB(W(0,1,0,1),...)
where W is a 'working array'. It appears that a specific…

I have an issue in fortran 90.
I have a user defined type and when I call one of the MPI subroutines the data looks to be passed by values (not address, as I thought it should). The output arguments aren't modified. It seems to be specific to the MPI calls I tried the same thing in a simple test…

In my fortran code I made the following call to dnrm2 routine
d = dnrm2(n, ax, 1)
Just a simple call that would return me a double precision result.
The problem is whether I should declare the function at the start of my script. I found that if I don't declare it, and when I compile the code in…
