Even if you are developing a COBOL system, you should be searching, comparing files, manipulating Excel files, etc., just as you would in any other language. Those processes would be too tedious to do manually. I don't use COBOL, but sometimes I search in source code, compare result files, retrieve data from Excel files, and so on.
Python is one of the recommended ways to automate such processing.
I've written my own file copy tool in Python for my own purposes. The next book is a recipe for automating such ancillary tasks.
If you are a COBOL programmer and feel left out of the latest technological trends, Please read the next book and use it.
Looking at the example in the book, one person said, "This is what I wanted to do!" Please buy a book and give it a try.
Let Python do the boring things --Automated programming that even non-programmers can do
Then it will change little by little.
