Few differences I can list down as following
1)Originally and still mostly Cobol is structured prog
langualge. Offcour se there are now a days OOD concepts in
cobol also. Bust still baasically it is structured prog.
lang. On the other hand Object Orientation is the base of
Java.
2) Cobol is developed for and still used for Business
Processing. You can have your business processing modules,
DB interaction modules in cobol. I haven't heard cobol used
for any system level prog or web developement or UIs. But
Java can be used along all layers of application from
presentation to business layers. Also now a days Sun has
developed JMV using Java itself.
3) Cobol compilers are platform dependent I suppose. Java
is platform independent.
4) Cobol is a lunguage as such but looking at the current
developmet Java has become more than a lunguage, a platform.
5) Cobol is not providing not many built in functions,
libraries like java

Which is not true about evaluate statement
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
