Answer Posted / vish
What I believe is that COBOL was actually the prime
business language and used extensively for mainframes batch
systems (although it is used recently in UNIX servers too
which are in most cases migrated from mainframe system to
UNIX systems). At present we have more powerful languages
available than COBOL which can of course provide more value
add for a system development. But still COBOL continues to
be the primary development language for mainframe systems,
some of the reasons could be:
1. Almost all the existing big legacy systems were
developed using COBOL. Now converting these systems to
other languages is a very costly business.
2. Most of the legacy systems using COBOL are batch systems
(although they have online components using mostly CICS)
and COBOL well serve the very purpose efficiently.
Any comments/suggestions are welcome!!!
