Slaíne<p>Back on my BS again. I decided to dust off my various C128 COBOL test progs and create a usable program, inspired by what was shown in the movie Sneakers. It was a lot of fun. Writing a Bubble Sort in such a limited version of COBOL was a challenge and it is dog slow. This is reading in a random SEQ datafile, sorting it and writing out a sorted SEQ datafile. I think I&#39;ll next make it write out a USER file so that I can search/edit entries or something. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/comodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>comodore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/COBOL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COBOL</span></a></p>

Angie<p>I read that there are about 24K COBOL programmers in the U.S. and they are retiring at about 10% per year. I programmed in COBOL back in the day. Maybe I should get back into it in my free time. 😆 </p><p>Or not.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cobol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cobol</span></a></p>
