COBOL EXAMPLES. This section of the website hosts some COBOL example programs illustrating the use of various COBOL CLAUSE, COBOL KEYWORDS, COBOL VERBS etc. COBOL Arithmetic Verbs. Arithmetic Verbs 2 Types. ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE verbs COMPUTE Verb / Arithmetic Symbols + Addition - Subtraction. What are the Arithmetic Operators in Cobol?

COBOL - Data Types

COMPUTE ROUNDED. = arithmetic-expression ON SIZE ERROR. Example 1 - COMPUTE WS-A = WS-B + WS-C - WS-D. Values in WS-B, WS-C will be added, WS-D value subtracted from that value and store the final result in WS-A.

Data-items values values before exectuion after execution WS-A 300 850.
