A while back I tackled the idea of converting my #budget #spreadsheet to a normal Program.. With reports, transaction processing, and lots of traditional #Banking features I decided to use #RetroComputing #Mainframe tools and languages like #REXX, #VSAM, #IBM S370 a la MVS Tk5, and now #COBOL has joined the project to replace some #x86 (or Z) #Golang preprocessing. Not just any COBOL, #MVT COBOL'68 which lacks MANY modern/OOP/String functionality as they're commonly known.. Hello PIC X OCCURS!
