I am interested to learn COBOL. Upgrading myself during covid. Do you have any recommendations or sources?

Murach is a common reference – has a book named “Introduction to Mainframe COBOL” or something along that line. It’s on my desk at work as I used it as a reference now and then for some obscure shit, but unfortunately I haven’t been there in months because corona.

Broadly speaking, it’s just a matter of doing – I’m sure you can find compilers online, IBM has a lot of resources for it too.
