3004	 Structured Programming in Cobol An Approach for Application Programmers	 Techniques for designing and writing Cobol programs are presented. Previous work in structured programming is drawn upon and adapted. The presentation is informal the terminology is nonmathematical as far as possible no theorems are proved and examples are used frequently. Top-down program design is implemented through the use of structured flowcharts disciplined specifications and step by step verification. A well-formed Cobol program is defined. The proper use of the GO TO and other Cobol coding practices are discussed. structured programming top-down well-formed program GO TO statement repeat statement flowchart application programming Cobol software reliability program verification
