COBOL（COmmonBusinessOrientedLanguage）——是数据处理领域最为广泛的程序设计语言,是第一个广泛使用的高级编程语言。在企业管理中,数值计算并不复杂,但数据处理信息量却很大。为专门解决经企管理问题,于1959年,由美国的一些计算机用户组织设计了专用于商务处理的计算机语言COBOL,并于1961年美国数据系统语言协会公布。经不断修改、丰富完善和标准化,目前COBOL已发展为多种版本。-COBOL (COmmonBusinessOrientedLanguage)- is the most widely used data processing programming language, is the first widely used high-level programming language. In business management in, numerical calculation is not complicated, but the data processing amount of information is high. To specifically address the issue by the corporate management, in 1959, a number of computer users by the U.S. organization dedicated to business process design of the computer language COBOL, and in 1961 the United States Data System Language Association announced. The continuously changing, rich sound and standardization of COBOL has been developed for a variety of the current version.
