Tests divisions, PIC clauses, copybooks, file handling, JCL integration, and mainframe batch processing.
What COBOL interviews probe
Interviewers rarely stop at a definition. They push on why, ask you to reason through a case, and watch how you structure the answer under a little pressure.

Practising COBOL: common questions
- What COBOL interview questions should I practice?
- Focus on the fundamentals interviewers actually probe: Tests divisions, PIC clauses, copybooks, file handling, JCL integration, and mainframe batch processing. Round Zero builds a full COBOL practice path with questions, flashcards, and a scored mock so you rehearse them under pressure.

- Learn the concepts, drill the questions until answers come fast, then prove it in a scored mock. Round Zero sequences all three so you know you are ready, not just that you read about COBOL.
