Dialect reference manual?

[Patrick]

Hi Everyone

I am really-really enjoying Cobol.

A couple of things have slowed me down a bit.

One is the lack of Cobol code on the net.

Sometimes it's just nice to copy and paste snippets to start with but the harder part has been the number of dialects. Of the websites I have found Cobol code on and in the CDs contained in the books I have bought, there are many similar but different dialects.

I am using open Cobol.

I found this small dialect cross reference:

Does anyone know of a larger one?

Thanks for reading-Patrick

I like the tagline.
