Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Improving Cobol Applications Can

Recover Significant Computer Resources





Computer applications written in the COBOL
programming language are used to do a large
portion of Federal data processing and con-
sume a large portion of Federal computer re-
sources. Such applications can sometimes be
improved to do the job with fewer computer
resources, thus freeing significant resources
for other jobs, and perhaps deferring com-
puter replacement.

The National Bureau of Standards should
issue guidance on the use of COBOL for
applications, and agency ADP management
should review applications periodically for
possible improvements.
