Abstract

The key to almost every business-oriented computer program is the sequence of programming courses in the major language utilized in that geographic area. The overall major language, based on almost every computer survey, has been COBOL. With the availability of COBOL on micro-computers that utilization will probably increase. With the industry concerns on the depth of programming knowledge of graduates, the major programming sequence should be at a level consistent with the needs of the business/industry served.
