  • COBOL 400 Basics: Understanding of COBOL 400 syntax, structure, and programming constructs. This includes familiarity with the divisions, sections, and paragraphs of a COBOL program.
  • AS/400 Environment: Knowledge of the AS/400 system architecture, including libraries, files, members, and job processing. Proficiency in navigating and using the AS/400 system commands and tools.
  • Data Types and Structures: Skills in defining and using various data types and data structures in COBOL 400, including elementary and group items, arrays (tables), and records.
  • File Handling: Proficiency in handling different types of files (sequential, indexed, and relative) in COBOL 400. This includes file definition, reading, writing, updating, and deleting records.
  • Database Interaction: Understanding of database concepts and the ability to interact with databases using COBOL 400, including embedded SQL for database operations.
  • Control Structures: Knowledge of control structures in COBOL 400, such as IF statements, PERFORM loops, and EVALUATE statements for conditional processing and iteration.
  • String Handling and Data Manipulation: Skills in string handling, data manipulation, and arithmetic operations in COBOL 400. This includes using built-in functions for string processing, date handling, and numeric computations.
  • Error Handling and Debugging: Proficiency in implementing error handling mechanisms in COBOL 400 programs and using debugging tools to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
  • Subroutines and Modules: Understanding of creating and using subroutines, functions, and modular programming in COBOL 400 for code reusability and maintainability.
  • Report Generation: Ability to design and generate reports using COBOL 400, including formatting output, calculating summaries, and presenting data in a readable format.
  • AS/400 Utilities and Tools: Familiarity with AS/400 utilities and tools commonly used in COBOL 400 development, such as PDM (Programming Development Manager), SEU (Source Entry Utility), and SDA (Screen Design Aid).
  • Code Optimization and Performance: Knowledge of techniques for optimizing COBOL 400 code for better performance and efficiency, including efficient use of I/O operations and memory management.
  • Testing and Quality Assurance: Understanding of testing methodologies and practices for ensuring the quality and reliability of COBOL 400 programs, including unit testing, integration testing, and system testing.
  • Version Control and Deployment: Skills in using version control systems for managing COBOL 400 source code and deploying applications in the AS/400 environment.
