How do you differentiate between cobol and cobol-ii?..

Answer / Veeresh Kumar Shakya

COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) is a high-level programming language that was first developed in the 1950s. COBOL-II, on the other hand, is an updated version of COBOL that was introduced in the early 1980s to address some limitations and inconsistencies found in the original COBOL standard. The main differences between them include changes in syntax for some statements, new reserved words, additional data types, and improved support for structured programming.
