## Additional information

This section provides useful resources in the form of manuals and videos to assist in learning more about the basics of COBOL.

### Professional manuals

As Enterprise COBOL experience advances, the need for the professional documentation is greater. An internet search for Enterprise COBOL manuals includes: “Enterprise COBOL for z/OS documentation library - IBM”, link provided below. The site content has tabs for each COBOL release level. As of April 2020, the current release of Enterprise COBOL is V6.3. Highlight V6.3 tab, then select product documentation.

Three ‘Enterprise COBOL for z/OS” manuals are referenced throughout the chapters as sources of additional information, for reference and to advance the level of knowledge. They are:

1. Language Reference - Describes the COBOL language such as program structure, reserved words, etc.
