    IBM takes System/z to the cloud with COBOL update


    Posted: 19 May 2013
    IBM is taking its COBOL server platform to the next level by updating the mainframe platform in a bid to extend and enable its mainframes to host cloud based applications and services.

    The latest update is looking to add XML Server as well as Java 7 capabilities to the System/z COBOL platform and this update would extend the overall lifespan of COBOL by taking it up a notch and gearing it towards the cloud computing arena.

In the 1980's I went to a local college and took a course in COBOL programing. I never used it in actual practice. It was to just become more familiar with computers. Is COBOL still around today?
